Halloween has its origins in ancient Celtic harvest festivals where the Celts believed the ghosts of the dead returned to Earth on October 31st. They would build bonfires and sacrifice crops to ward off these spirits. In the late 1800s, Irish immigrants introduced the tradition of neighborhood gatherings involving trick-or-treating to America. Today, Halloween is a platform for creativity where people enjoy wearing costumes, carving jack-o-lanterns, and watching horror films while getting scared.

The poem "Out, Out-" by Robert Frost depicts the accidental death of a young boy working with a buzz saw. It uses vivid imagery and references to Shakespeare's Macbeth to portray how life is brief and fragile. The buzz saw represents the mechanization and loss of childhood through labor. Though the details are ordinary, the poem conveys a profound statement about the ephemeral nature of life and how death can come suddenly, signifying nothing.Elements of violence, cruelty, and abuse in Grimms' tales

This document discusses how a media product uses and develops conventions of real horror media. It analyzes the shots in the opening of a film to establish characters, atmosphere, and hint at the narrative. Specific techniques like lighting, music, and framing are used to create mystery around the characters and set an unsettling tone. Common horror conventions around supernatural elements, vulnerable characters, and the use of blood and religious symbols are employed to situate the genre.

It creates suspense by setting up expectations in the reader through recurring symbols, character reactions, settings, dialogue, and more. Examples include a mother's concern for her daughter in Little Red Riding Hood foreshadowing the appearance of the wolf, and Indiana Jones commenting on unstable ground before an earthquake.

The poem is about how anger and revenge can grow over time like a poisonous tree. The speaker describes watering and nurturing his anger toward a foe by keeping it inside instead of expressing it. This causes the anger to grow larger, represented by a bright apple on a tree. When the foe sees the apple, he recognizes it comes from the speaker's anger. The foe then eats the poisonous apple and is found dead under the tree, murdered by the speaker's vengeance that grew unchecked over time.A Poison Tree & What Happened To Lulu?

The poem "A Poison Tree" by William Blake is about the dangers of harboring anger instead of expressing it. In three sentences: The speaker tells of how expressing anger to a friend ended it, while bottling up anger towards a foe only increased it, allowing it to grow "like a tree" bearing poisonous fruit that ultimately kills the foe. The poem warns that nurturing anger internally transforms it into something toxic capable of harming others.Bog queen

Halloween originated with the Celts in Ireland, who celebrated Samhain on October 31 to mark the end of harvest and the beginning of winter, believing it was a time when the living and dead could meet. As Catholicism spread, November 1 was designated as All Saints' Day, and October 31 transformed into All Hallows' Eve, eventually becoming Halloween. Irish immigration to America in the 1840s introduced traditions such as trick-or-treating, evolving into a fun activity for children by the late 1930s.Halloween PowerPoint
