Halloween: A Special Celebration
Who doesn’t like playing pranks on people or eating candy? Halloween is the one day each year when it’s OK to play tricks on others and get loads of sweet treats. People in the United States and in other countries celebrate Halloween by dressing in costumes, attending parties, and going trick-or-treating.

Halloween is celebrated on October 31. This is the day before the religious holiday All Saints Day, which was once known as All Hallows. October 31 was often called “All Hallows’ Eve.” Over time, this name was shortened to Halloween. All Saints Day marks the memory of saints and other people who have died. At first, the celebration consisted of a prayer service dedicated to the dead. The prayer service was followed by a small offering at the dead person’s tomb or grave. People traditionally spent the day praying and mourning for the souls of those who had died.

However, Halloween is celebrated differently today. Dressed like witches, wizards, and goblins, children go from house to house trick-or-treating for candy. They also participate in Halloween activities such as carving pumpkins, bobbing for apples, and watching scary movies.

Halloween celebrations aren’t limited to kids. Many adults celebrate by dressing in costume to attend Halloween parties. Others walk through “haunted” houses and other scary places.

Halloween is more than a one-day holiday. The celebration can continue throughout the month of October. It’s a holiday that allows people of all ages to dress up, go to haunted places, and play pranks. It’s not serious or sad, unlike the traditional celebrations. For this reason, most people enjoy Halloween celebrations more these days.

Explanation:

Item 9
Golden Days

by Lizzie Lawson

There are days of summer sunshine,
Of warm and sunny weather,
When the hedge is full of hawthorn
And hills are glad with heather.

There are days of silent sadness,
Of frost, and snow, and rain,
When we fear that summer's gladness
Will never come again.

And now our songs are minor key,
And now in merry tune;
The windward side will change to lee,
And January to June.

Day and night the sun is shining,
Though he may hide his head;
Each cloud has a silver lining,
The flowers are asleep not dead.

Every day may have its playtime
Made bright by cheerful lays;
And life be one long Maytime,
A year of golden days.

Write a two- to three-sentence objective summary

Medieval culture has never fully disappeared from popular culture. Judging by the large number of medieval-themed books and movies, it's more popular than ever. Much like today, the characters in these medieval works all had clearly defined jobs or roles to play. Like today's occupations, these roles were all part of a process of career growth. For example, knights only became knights after a long, three-step process. If, at the age of seven, a boy displayed very good manners, smarts, and courage, his parents might decide they wanted him to become a knight. He would spend the next seven years as a page, performing simple duties such as helping knights with their horses and armor. After completing training as a page at around age 14, the boy would become a squire. A squire took on more responsibility and received more hands-on instruction in fighting and battle strategy. He would sometimes ride into battle with a knight and assist him. In some cases, the squire would even be required to fight in the knight's place if the knight was injured. At the age of 21, the squire was eligible to become a knight. First, he had to prove himself worthy by showing great bravery, wisdom, and devotion. worthy, he would be knighted in a ceremony where he vowed to protect his kingdom. Knights perform very different tasks from doctors, teachers, or professional athletes, but in each of these careers, there is a long process with clearly defined steps for moving up. Perhaps this is one of the reasons medieval culture has always fascinated us — it has a sense of order that never went out of style
