Is Hallowe’en Great or Not?
History of Hallowe’en: http://www.history.com/content/halloween
or http://www.halloweenhistory.org/
Write a paragraph outlining your position. Make sure you have an interesting opening sentence and an interesting closer.
Student example:
Trick-Or-Treat!Halloween is the best night ever!You can enjoy time with friends,eat candy and dress up as what every person or thing you want!It is the 2′nd best time to pull pranks on people.It is a scary, tasty, fun time.When ever i finish trick-or-treating i always trade candy with friends.Halloween is the 1 of the best holidays ever!HAPPY HALLOWEEN!-BOO!
or:
Hallowen is not a great holiday, if it’s a holiday shouldn’t you get a day off of school and work? Why isn’t it during the whole day? Why? I tell you why to scare you silly and for what, a little bit of candy! I could get some candy for less then a buck.
After you go trick or treating you go to bed thinking about monsters and stuff. Why? Because it isn’t a good holiday. I don’t like to get scared. Do you?

October 15, 2012 at 3:22 pm (12 years ago)Hello!! halloween is here its a great holiday, you get candy and chocolate bars and more!!. But the bad part is that you have to buy a costume and what?? it costs money and my parents won’t buy me the costume.I have another concern its that its not a national holiday. But another great part is that you can dress up as vampires, ghosts, zombies and many more things. If my parents buy me a costume and if halloween is a national holiday halloween is my favourite holiday.

October 15, 2012 at 4:44 pm (12 years ago)Halloween is a good holiday but I think that we should have a day off from school. Even though that is in the evening it would not hurt to get ready through out the day. Halloween is the time of year when you can ask people for candy and they will give it to you. But you can also dress up like anything you want so I do think Halloween is great.

Halloween also known as Hallowe’en or All Hallows’ Eve includes traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting “haunted houses” and carving jack-o-lanterns. Trick-or-treating, is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they proceed from house to house in costumes, asking for treats with the question, “Trick or treat?”.Halloween is popular in the United States,the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada. I can’t wait until Halloween.

October 15, 2012 at 6:01 pm (12 years ago)finally! Halloween is here! Halloween is the time for candy and scarying other kids on your street. I like to hit as many houses I can becaues my sister and I are the only ones that do the trick or treting in my house. My favaruite part about halloween is when you can dress up as anthing you want to, I perfore thouht to dress up like something funny. Just so I colect alot of cany I like to bring a garbeg bag, so I can carry ALOT of candy. On halloween most people like to pick to go the scary houses. Every year theres this one house that is called the ”haunted house” and you go inside because they have all spooked out in there! Another cool part about halloween is that some people want to scare you so much that they walk arund the street like they are real zombies, crazy people, vampires and lots more.
Have fun this year!

October 15, 2012 at 6:33 pm (12 years ago)October 31! I love Halloween because we get 3 sacks
overflowed with candy. Halloween is A.K.A All Hallows’ Eve. You can dress up as a vampire, ghost, zombie and a whole lot more after that you have to wait a year more.But there is few days for Halloween so start decorating your house as a hunted house !

October 15, 2012 at 7:39 pm (12 years ago)Halloween is a really amusing holiday.It is the day where the dead come alive cause mischief and harm around the world.That is why on halloween people like to pull pranks.People wear costumes on halloween to scare the evil that is roaming around the world on halloween.Some popular activites people do on haalloween is apple boobing trick or treating pulling pranks and much more…Putting on halloween decorations is a very common thing that people do to scare away the ghosts and monsters.Trick or treating is a halloween tradition where children go house to house to collect candy.The trick in “trick or treat” is a threat to tell homeowners that if no treat is given something abominable will happen.Halloween is a very diverting holiday that people can celebrate. HAVE A SCARY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

October 16, 2012 at 6:07 pm (12 years ago)Halloween is the best because you go trick-or-treating the best part is that there is candy involved with cause when you go door to door you get candy candy and CANDY.Last year I went as a guy in a mask and the good part is I had my baby cousin my 4 year old cousin and my sister with me. So we get 4 times as much candy. Also my cousins went back Pakistan witch is sad. But me and my sister get the candy at least something good happened.But the thing is we don’t give the candy put up any decoration or carve a pumkin. That is all

October 16, 2012 at 8:32 pm (12 years ago)As scary as it is, I still like Halloween! It is a great holiday because it is fun to be out at night going house to house getting candy. I have allergies so I can’t even eat what I collect. Instead, the Great Pumpkin comes to exchange my candy for toys that I have wished for. Halloween is fun. Every year we go to a Halloween party. There is a haunted house a couple of street away where my friends like to go. Beware… there is a guy with a chainsaw. I prefer not to risk my life in there. Happy Halloween everyone and have fun trick or treating.
-great paragraph and I love that the great pumpkin comes and you can exchange your candy.
Well done Brady—Mr.Woods
