Halloween as a text


October 31st is counted down by hundreds of kids readying to go from house to house to get a teat or give a trick. Halloween is seen is so many different ways for many people, for some strong christen believers Halloween is thought to be a holiday that celebrates the devil. Many christen believers also look at Halloween not how it sounds but as all hollows Eva. Then for others Halloween is time to think to celebrate all the souls that have left the world and are not with us any more. Halloween can be looked at in so many ways from being a fun holiday to being the most evil. When looking back into history around Ireland it shows why we some of the things we do today the trick or treating or dressing up in different ways. A long time ago the people of Ireland would dress up to draw the evil spirits away from their towns today we dress up to change the way people look at us. For example when you go to a hunted house you know the monsters are just people dressed up but its still scares you. Also along time ago kids would go from door to door to get wood for their fire today we do this but we get candy. All the thing we do today go back to the beliefs and the traditions they did hunderds of years ago.
