Hammond’s “Halloween”: The Real Children of Halloween We all remember dressing up for Halloween night as children. Getting together with best friends and competing to see who has the best costume or can collect the most candy. For some, this was the best night of the year.

halloween me and my sister decided to go trick or treating with some of mine and her friends. So my mom and dad drove us to one of my sisters friends houses because we were all gonna meet up there. So we pull into the neighborhood and it's pretty dark. There werent any lights on. Which me and my friends thought was cool but the girls were freaking out. “I don't like being in the dark can we go somewhere else,” said Jade. “I think trick or treating in the dark will be fun,” said my friend tyler.

with my friends, Will and Alex, we were talking about what we were going to do tonight for Halloween. The teachers seem to be really concerned about us, telling us not to go by ourselves but rather go in big groups or with our parents for trick or treating, like were 13, we can handle ourselves. Mr. Robert our history teacher was telling all the kids that he hates Halloween because it symbolizes the devil and demons. He was yelling at another student, I forgot her name but she was saying that she was

we’ve known each other for a long time. We all dressed as DC comic book characters. Mason was Batman, Samantha was Black Canary, Jade was Cheshire, and I was Artemis, Cheshire’s little sister. We are all teenagers, but we still went trick or treating because you’re never too old to trick or treat. “Maybe we should cut through the forest. It will only take ten minutes at the most to get to the next neighborhood,” said Samantha. It was her neighborhood, so we all agreed that we should

origin is really a Celtic harvest festival and also paganistic, and that the holiday was later converted to Christianity when the Good News of Jesus scattered through the Roman Empire nearly two thousand ago. Obviously, Martin Luther was not trick-or-treating when he hammered his 95 Theses to the big wooden church door in Wittenberg.

with the early Roman Catholics holidays, Celtic festivals, British politics, and the medieval practices. (Michael Kaplan, 2015). The practice is not only strange to non-Americans but also to children who are paraded around the neighborhood. Trick-or-Treating tradition has been practiced in the US for more than a hundred years. One wonder is how a parent would prohibit her children to talk to strangers but allow them to beg for candy and roam the streets at night during Halloween. A majority of American

The Halloween that Won’t be Forgotten A cool breeze rolling, howls from every direction, clowns limping down sidewalks, kids waiting to trick or treat. Sarah and James and their three children are getting ready for Halloween. Ashley, age 15, Zach, age 12, and Dee, age 7. Ashley is going out with her friends, Zach is as a vampire for Halloween, and Dee as a bee.

The author tries to persuade the audience in multiple ways to take all precautions possible to ensure that if taking their kids out trick-or-treating is a must, they should try their best to remain safe and out of harm’s

Holidays such as Halloween seem to allow deviant acts to be committed with no consequences. However, I committed a deviant act that would have been okay for Halloween but not two weeks before Halloween. I did my makeup like a deer.

together with our friends, family, neighbors and community. We go from door to door collecting candy, sweets and much more, racing on who can approach the most houses or who can collect the most candy in the group.
