'Twas the night of Halloween, every single kid on the block took their the pillowcases, dashing from door-to-door getting as much candy as they could in one night. However, one little girl was still inside, refusing to participate. This girl was Louise and she didn't believe in Halloween.
"People dressing up in ridiculous costumes, walking everywhere just to get candy, why don't they just go to the store and buy some? It's just as simple as that. Why go out when bad things always happen on halloween?" Louise rolled her eyes to emphasize the complaint to her sick grandmother.
"Halloween is stupid! Halloween should be illegal!" Louise still yelling at her grandma. Louise didn’t understand what was happening, her grandma was just sitting there.

Just the thought of dressing up and getting free candy excited me. I'm nothing like my mother, who despised Halloween and never told me why. Whenever I would talk about it her mood would instantly drop and for the rest of the day she’d stay irritable. I tried not to bring it up but I was so curious. I almost felt like it was the reason she left when I was ten years old.
I just couldn’t decide how to do my makeup for my best friend’s Halloween party. The party was at 10 o'clock in Louise's house. Louise, my best friend, probably had more in common with my mother than I did. First off they are both named Louise, they look similar, and they both hate Halloween. It’s weird that Louise was throwing a Halloween party considering that she hated the holiday. Sometimes Louise reminded me of my mom, it was rather eerie.
Almost an hour later…

I hear the doorbell, wanting to ignore it, but I knew I had to go over and see what she wanted. I opened the door and when I looked outside I indeed saw Louise.
"What do you want?" I blankly stare at her.
"I wanted to come over and say that I'm sorry," Louise explains but I’m not sure if she was sincere.
"Well, I pretty sure I believe you but I'm still mad and now I hate Halloween, you ruined the one holiday I enjoy."
"I'm sorry, I hope I can change that," behind her back was a box of my favorite treats, caramel apples, they all had different assortments of toppings. My face lit up like a Christmas tree when she showed me.
"Oh my gosh! Come in!" I took her by the wrist and pulled her inside. We've talked about many things and ate the caramel apples. Later, I woke up in my room not knowing what happened with Louise. But all I can remember was talking with her and eating. I had the most painful headache, I was probably from all the sweets. I got ready for the day, and skipped downstairs and to see my grandma and Louise in my kitchen.
"Umm, what's going on?" I asked, confusion evident in my
Halloween was not supposed to be like that, it was supposed to be more like when I was a kid. Houses would be decorated, jack-o-lanterns would be sitting near doors, and
Susie’s mother opened the door to let Molly, Susie’s babysitter, inside. Ten-month old Susie seemed happy to see Molly. Susie then observed her mother put her jacket on and Susie’s face turned from smiling to sad as she realized that her mother was going out. Molly had sat for Susie many times in the past month, and Susie had never reacted like this before. When Susie’s mother returned home, the sitter told her that Susie had cried until she knew that her mother had left and then they had a nice time playing with toys until she heard her mother’s key in the door. Then Susie began crying once again.
The poem “Halloween” does such a great job at conveying that image of trick or treating. This poem takes into account the nostalgic feeling one gets when looking back at past memories such as this. Going door to door dressed in your favorite outfit. The use of imagery is so strong it is easy to be right there almost as if it were yesterday. The poet Mac Hammond writes “Kids come, beckoned by / Fingers of shadows on leaf-strewn lawns / To trick or treat” (15-17). This goes on to describe the pull and excitement a child gets when arriving at a house. The shadows of the owners Halloween decorations are cast onto the fall lawn, calling children to the front door. Not only does this give the reader an image of the fall weather, but of the Halloween decorations on someone’s house. Children tend to be drawn towards homes with decorations because it feels more welcoming. Therefore, this is where the beckoning feeling comes from. Not only does Hammond do a wonderful job by using imagery, but also the sound personified in this poem is
I learned a lot thing during Halloween but I must say the most interesting to me was the bus incident. It might have been because I had never really ridden on a bus before I got to Santa Barbara and I found the whole thing to be strange but it might have been normal for the people who have lived in Santa Barbara for a long time
The next thing I would like to talk about is Halloween, I love Halloween, it’s my second
Imagine having the worst potential Halloween nightmares come to life for a night. Everything from the “Boogeyman” to innocent random people being killed by chainsaws and other disturbing ways. The film Halloween does all that and then some. The movie begins with an innocent looking six year old boy named Michael Myers dresses up in a clown costume and stabs his older sister Judith to death. After that incident Michael ends up going to jail with a plan of being put away for a long time. Then on October 30, 1978 about fifteen years after Michael was sent to jail he escapes. Michael escaping proves to be a major event as most would guess. However, the underlying note in all of this is that the following day is Halloween. Unfortunately,
At the edge of a big forest, there lived a witch. She was known as the candy witch. Her house was made out of ginger bread and frosting. The windows were made out of sugar crystals and chocolate ice cream sticks and the roof was made out of chocolate squares. The Candy Witch was feared by all the children!
Louise cannot comprehend who she is, and constantly battles with her own identity while sometimes successfully resisting her natural urges to pack as much unwanted food into
Late autumn has arrived and with it comes the dark magic of Halloween--and, of course, the
I can’t hold in my excitement as I run to the foyer. Mom looks at me worriedly, but I ignore her and throw open the door before the person standing behind it can knock. He looks at me with boredom lacing his expression, obviously expecting my weird gift to tell the future. I quickly hug him and grab his pale hand, pulling him outside. Tonight is Halloween, and the only time my pale blonde friend visits me. He’s my first and only friend, so I don’t mind that he doesn’t play with me the other three hundred sixty-something days in the year.
This is a very hot topic issue with me! And I truly hope many others that either haven’t spoken out against it yet, or haven’t known how to speak against it. Really start? Maybe, it’s because somehow so few have been educated on halloween’s history. Or the history of witches and witchcraft in our Country and around the world. Why, is it that so many attach or try to attach witches with Halloween? Witches have been seen in books and movies as ugly, evil and cruel! They were never suppose to become role models to our society, or children ever! In fact most don’t know what really has happened in there secret meetings, because they remain secret for a very specific
Everybody celebrates Halloween, but some people might celebrate the spooky holiday in a variety of ways. Most people celebrate this holiday by going door to door asking the greeters for candy while in their costumes. Others may see the night as an advantage to play pranks on others or even to create public haunted houses or haunted trails. For people that like to hold public events, they may create costume parties. For those that are either lazy or they just don’t want to participate in the events, they may spend the night by staying in their houses and doing an activity of their own. Most do not know this, but Halloween was originally a holiday to honor loved ones who passed.
When Halloween approaches, I feel the air becoming cooler and the nights becoming longer. Clouds over lap the moon creating an eerie look in the sky. 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.
