Throughout the nation catastrophes occur on a daily basis; however there are a few catastrophes that have taken national precedence and left a traumatized nation.

Michael Nelson (2010) describes the nature of such terrorism catastrophes as disconcerting, unanticipated and that unnerve “the country’s sense of safety and identity” (p. 20). When such “a traumatic event results in the death of civilians” and “calls the nation’s institutions or values into question” the nation as a whole looks to their leader, our president, to offer solace and calm through a responsive speech (Campbell and Jamieson, 2008, p. 102).

Children grow more and more excited to put on their costumes, and they spend one night out of the whole year going door to door getting free candy. As I have grown up over the years, Halloween is celebrated differently for me. I always notice that even though it is celebrated differetly the people haven’t changed and that’s what makes it memorable.

Have you ever walked into a store that sold candles? What a beautiful sight to see and even better smell in the air. Have you ever thought about what all goes into making them? When making candles there are many things to consider; what is the purpose or use, what type or style, how long does it need to last, and the necessary tools. There are so many different types of candles; jar, votive, pillar, taper, single and multiple wicks are just the beginning. When looking at a candle, or even burning a candle, there is more to a candle then wax, color, wick, and smell, there is science to making candles. My goal for this paper is to give the history of candles, the different purposes they are used for, what materials are necessary to make candles, and what processes are used to produce candles.
