Explain in detail your favorite Halloween or trick or treating experience. Explain who you went with, your costume, and any other details that made it your favorite/best Halloween

The best Halloween will be this up coming Saturday. When I go trick or treating this Saturday I’m having my two friends from Jefferson their names are Deanna and Melanie to go with me. When we go trick or treating we are going in the development that I live in called Azalea Ridge that’s connected to Red Mill Run. While we go through we hope to fill our bag all the way to the top by going to every house there is with the light on.

This Halloween I’m dressing up like an 80’s person. I’m wearing my tight jeans, with a big sweatshirt and a tank top or a long sleeve shirt underneath. The shoes that I’m wearing are my boots with long socks underneath scuffed down. Then the way I’m doing my hair is by putting it in a side ponytail or tease it to make it all puffy. For the finishing touch I’m going to put on bright purple make-up and put on my jewelry.

When we get done trick or treating Deanna is spending the night but Melanie is going home. Since Deanna is spending the night we will do some fun things together. One thing I hope to do is go ding dong ditching if my mom lets us, but it is Halloween so we would have to go at like 10 or 11. Before we do that we will watch some scary movies like, The Strangers or Jeeper Creepers. Also to remember these memories we will take some pictures so we can always remember this night. During the night we will eat a lot of our candy and will probably stay up all night talking and laughing.

Whenever I’m with Deanna I always have a good time. I know this will be the best Halloween so far in my past Halloweens.

What is your favorite fall activity? Who do you do the activity with? When do you do it? How do you feel? Describe the activity to me. Be as detailed as possible. Make sure that you have 300 words for this free write. Hint- Write the freewrite into a word document. Check the word count in the document then copy and paste it over


My favorite fall activity is decorating for the different fall holidays. The two holidays that I decorate for are Halloween and Thanksgiving. When I decorate for Halloween I decorate with my family. Usually we carve pumpkins, put scary things in our yard and set up music. Inside our house we usually make our house smell like fall with candles that smell like pumpkins and apples. Then for Thanksgiving we have family over so we decorate not a lot but enough to make it look like Thanksgiving. When I decorate it’s usually my mom and I who do most of the work. When we decorate we usually make projects with acorns or leaves. When we do this we take acorns and leaves and make wreathes. Then also for Thanksgiving we also make our house smell like pumpkins and apples with the candles. When I do both of these activities it makes me feel very creative. Also my mom and I make the activities a bunch of fun by having us doing them all together. When we decorate for the holidays it makes the holiday even more fun than if we didn’t decorate for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Every year we always decorate together to do something fun together. This activity is what I hope to do even when I get older with my kids. These are all the reasons why this is my favorite activity in the season of fall.

Topic: Sameness and Difference. What is good about it? What is bad about it? What could be changed? Use what you know about our society and Jonas's society to write your entry.

Sameness is good and bad. Sameness is a good thing because if you had to do everything the same it would be easy especially if you do the same thing everyday. The bad thing about sameness is that if everything was the same then everything would get pretty boring. Something that could be changed about sameness is to change like the jobs in Jonas's society and change or add new colors to our society. Sameness will help a society in good and bad ways.

Difference also has it's goods and bads. It is a good thing because everything would be different and would be it's own thing. Difference is a bad thing because everything needs to be kinda the same to relate to each other.You could change a few things with difference in Jonas's society and our society. A thing you could change in Jonas's society is add difference. If you add difference in his society people might feel a little different from each other and would like to have their own way once in awhile. Changing difference in our society is too subtract a little difference because I think we have a little too much difference. The reason why I think this, is because everybody has a different way all the time and never wants their thing to be the same as another's person. Difference has it's ups and downs, or goods and bads.

Free Writing

There are a few things that I would like to do with $1,000,000. One of those things that I would like to do is give $100,000 to my parents for the what ever they need money for. I would give $300-$400 dollars to charity every 5 years. But the way I would keep my $1,000,000 is to keep my current job, so then I could buy and keep the things that i would have. Another thing that I would do is buy myself a nice car such as a BMW or a Saturn Sky. For my kind of house I would keep it at average size like a two story house with a nice finished basement with a movie theater,dance room,and a game room. I would keep a average size house because I don't want to show off the money too much. Even though $1,000,000 is a lot it can go by fast so I would manage my money wisely. Every summer, spring, and winter vacations I would go on vacation somewhere you can't go everyday such as Hawii, Europe, Mexico, Austrlia and Aruba. That is some of the things that I would do.
