Is All Hope Gone? Halloween Taken Wrong
When I was growing up Halloween was know to be a time when a person could be someone else for a day. It used to be about the fear of what goes bump at night, and what was lingering under my bed, or what was behind that door in the scary movies my parents didn't let me watch. As I grew up I noticed less and less kids were celebrating the known traditions and it started to become a adults realm. Children have been decreasing in the know spirit events, while adults are seen to be making a terrible choice making this night into a 'slutty' time to enjoy. Many advertisements are heard about the sexy nurse or the flirty school girl on commercials for "Stage Shop", corrupting the wholesomeness of getting dressed up for Halloween, creating younger crowds to view the holiday as a party day rather than a day of sweetness and fright. Over all my view on Halloween has been shot due to the idea to sexy rather than cute or creepy.

You have a good point in the XXX content of Halloween, but you did not proof read your work and so your communication is far less than clear.
ReplyDelete- When I was growing up... known to be a time...
- don't need the word different, someone else means different
- it used to be (did you proof read?)
- realm, decreasing, be making, creepy (spelling)
- knowledge of spiritual events?
- you used making twice in the same sentence, transforming this night?
- slutty free card - I know what you mean but this is awkward
- capitals on Halloween, proper noun
was known to be a time... "N" still missing
ReplyDeleteadult's realm - apostrophe possessive
- decreasing in the knowledge? - previously indicated and not fixed
