Trick-or-treating

Describe your best or worst Halloween costume ever. Use lots of details and explain why it was so awesome or lame.

The halloween costume that I think was the best was when I dressed up as a Princess with my Friend and my little sister. I have to admit that it did not look totally awesome but it was a lot of fun to all be the same thing.

We all wore long purple dresses. We called ourselves the 3 purple princesses it was fun. I wore a Purple dress that my sister had used for a play we did. Yhen I wore a purple cape that I got from my cousins. I had my hair done up in sides up.

That halloween was the first time that my friend had ever going trick-or-treating in the past two years. We stayed up late walking aroud scaring ourselves. I loved that halloween!

Top Ten Books

I haven't read any of the books on the top ten list. I decided to look at the top book on the list. It was called Paper Towns by John Green. Paper Towns sounds like a pretty cheesy book to me but it might be kind of fun to read it. I want to know why it is called Paper Towns.

I don't really know why teens chose this book to be the top book of the top ten books. Maybe they liked it because it is based on teens and so they can relate more? I don't know.

I can't really say if I think it should be on the top ten books because I haven't read it so I can't judge it. That is why I sorta want to read it. That is all i can think of to say for now.

It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.
If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?
