My mom and her dad shared custody and she would travel between Erie Pennsylvania with her dad and here with our mom. My mom had some problems. among them was drinking. She did a lot of it.

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.

One of the major themes found in literature is death. Many authors use death in literary works abstractly thus, provoking the reader to contemplate the power of death. In Jack London 's "To Build a Fire," Susan Glaspell 's "A Jury of Her Peers," and William Faulkner 's "A Rose for Emily," the theme of death is not the obvious theme at the beginning of the stories but, slowly builds as the story develops.

In the book Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Alborn on page twelve it says “And on a cold Sunday afternoon, he was joined in his home by a small group of friends and family for a “living funeral.” The concept of a living funeral is where someone talks about the goods and everything they adored about you, Morrie thought it would have been a good idea if before you pass everyone says everything they have to say about you before you pass because what is the point of all that if your gone. Might as well hear everything they have to say about you until your time comes. It would have been great if we could have had a living funeral for my tio john because living funerals are better than funerals after death and people would benefit hearing what people would have to say about them before they leave

What would happen if all author names were removed from all book covers? To what level is it right to extend the readers horizons? Some people pick out to live highly sheltered, only reading certain stuffs or watching specific TV shows. Anything that doesn’t fall under their accepted types is to be entirely unnoticed. Not knowing the author means not knowing if there may be any concealed surprises in the book. Would it be beneficial for readers to understand their text better?

Funeral Blues by W. H. Auden is a short poem that illustrates the emotions that he is dealing with after the love of his life passes away. The tone of this piece evokes feelings that will differ depending on the reader; therefore, the meaning of this poem is not in any way one-dimensional, resulting in inevitable ambiguity . In order to evoke emotion from his audience, Auden uses a series of different poetic devices to express the sadness and despair of losing a loved one.

That point aside, it was very interesting to see the reactions of the different people. One thing I noticed was the conversations between my father’s cousins. They were depressed, but not because of the death. The overall tone was “who’s going to be next”; they were all in their fifties and sixties. At this time I was 25 years
My mom and I arrived at my great aunt’s house in Ely, Nevada at around dinnertime. We both decided it was time to get some sleep due to our long drive. My mom had asked me to wake her up if my dad did not call or arrive by midnight. She was obviously very tired from driving and I had slept most of the way anyways. I could tell my mom was very worried about my dad because he was traveling on his Harley Davidson, and the roads were dangerous. My innocent ten-year-old mind did not think anything bad could happen,
