“If you have ever slept on an island you will never be quite the same” (Unknown). I have slept on an island and it truly has changed who I am today. This little island is called Pumpkin Knob and sits in Casco Bay, Maine. It is a place that has inspired and moved me to see life in a different perspective. It all started back when I was three months old, on July fourth weekend, and ever since then my family and I have traveled the distance to stay on our little island of Pumpkin Knob. Till this day I do not know why this place has changed me so, maybe its that every year the island has changed itself. The newly grown lilies in the garden, the freshly trimmed grass, the overgrown bushes on the trails or maybe it’s the new faces I see

This next option is for teens who want a more relaxing night, but still want to be apart of the Halloween festivities. These are the ‘I wish I was brave enough to go Trick-or-Treating halloteens.’ Still craving candy, but not having any siblings left to steal candy from can be difficult. The next best option is to pass out the candy and hope that there is more left over at the end of the night. “Take one,” you say as you secretly hope the kids won’t take your favorite candy. Saying take one isn’t as impactful as it seems because the children are determined to get as much candy as possible and will sneak a couple extra

Vendors got in on the Halloween action, too, dressing up and handing out treats to children. Not all of the goodies were typical Halloween candies, however. As a Teal Pumpkin Project® event, some merchants
The Nighlock berries are an interest symbol of rebellion; during the 74th hunger games there was another act of rebellion represented by the berries that not many readers take into consideration. As I previously discussed with another classmate, during the tribute training in the Capitol, District 5’s tribute, Foxface study the plants she might encounter in the arena; she was an intelligent young woman in she outlasted most the games by observing from afar and cleverly figure out a path through the booby traps to get the Career’s food. It is in my opinion that she knew that the berries were poisonous; however, if Foxface was to blatantly commit suicide, it would look like defiance to the Capitol and her family would be killed. She decided to
Today I went to the Lantern for the first time. When we arrived and signed in we were told to just go hang out in the living room area and talk to the residents that Cathy would be there around three. We got to talk with the residents and paint pumpkins. The residents are a true blessing.
Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated by the United States, Canada, and a few Caribbean islands. It started off as a day that gave thanks or blessings for the harvest of the crops. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November, and the Second Monday of October in Canada. The first thanksgiving was celebrated by the pilgrims after the first harvest in the new world in October in 1621. Years later, Abraham Lincoln declared the fourth Thursday of November the national day of thanksgiving on 1863. Congress later made thanksgiving a national holiday in 1941.

Starting as early as preschool, American children are taught about the national American holiday of Thanksgiving. These small, impressionable humans are taught that the Pilgrims and the Native Americans worked together to produce plentiful crops, then celebrated the completed harvest and friendship with turkey and various pies. As the children grow older they learn that those who attend the first Thanksgiving did not eat “traditional” modern Thanksgiving meal, but more likely ate mussels with curds, deer, and a bowl of thick corn mush. The idea that is feast was in honor of the pilgrim’s friendship with the Natives still sticks around. Many people never question this fact or think about the hardships that the Natives had to go through once people had colonized America. Today there are many
