Halloween is coming on this weekend and I am looking forward to it. I saw many posters about the parties on Friday and the activities seem awesome. In my mind, Halloween likes a pumpkin party. I saw many scenes in the movies and animations. There are some famous tradition, such as Trick-or-Treating, jack-o’-lanterns and costume parties. I don’t the origins of Halloween and those traditions, but this holiday seems great! Wal-Mart began to sell the pumpkins few weeks ago and I saw many students buy it. I hope I could see some of the jack-o’-lanterns around my dorm on the weekend. To be honest, I think the “face” on pumpkin is weird. It looks like a ghost is laughing to you. The pumpkin becomes stranger when the night comes. There are candles in the pumpkins and the orange lights make the faces seem stranger. I can image what will happen if I encounter a people with jack-o’-lantern in the night. I must scream and that guy might be scared by the scream. I made a jack-o’-lantern with my friends last weekend. We tried our best to make the face looked funny. It’s not as easy as we thought before. One of us cut his finger, but the pumpkins are pretty.
Another thing attracts me is the costume parties. When I watched the Gossip Girl, I thought the parties are crazy and amazing. We didn’t have any costume party, and it seems strange if someone walking on the street wears strange clothes. The situation is completely different here. I saw many interesting clothes on the street. I remembered a guy wearing the dress of lady dancer and his female partner wearing the clothes of superman. The Halloween costume parties impressed me because many people choose to dress up as witches and ghosts. I guess the party is awesome. I’m looking forward to the Halloween night!

ReplyDeleteWhen I first got to the States, I didn’t fully understand the point of Halloween. But it is a fun time of the year. Costumes, candy, pumpkins and scary movies! Carving pumpkins is definitely a complicated task. Some jack-o-lanterns do have creepy faces. My roommate and I have pumpkins but have not carved them yet. At home, my family always goes looking for pumpkins together and I find it very weird that they went without me this year; but I’m in town so I shouldn’t be shocked. I think it’s fun to see all the costumes too. There are some really creative ones! The group costumes are extra cool. I have seen a suite of cards, the power rangers, the justice league gang, three blind mice and even a 90’s band! The pair costumes are fun too, like walking mustard and ketchup packets and forks and knives. I hope you listen to a lot of Halloween songs and have fun at the Halloween parties!
