Describe your best or worst Halloween costume ever. Use lots of details and explain why it was so awesome or lame.
I think that my all time favorite costume was when I was 6. I really wanted to be Snow White. my mom, made me a Snow White dress, it looked exactly like the real dress! I was so excited to wear it that I would wear it every day that week when I came home from school. I really thought that I was snow white. When Halloween came around, we colored my hair black and put on bright red lipstick, I felt so cool to be wearing makeup!
The black ahir color wouldnt stick in my hair so we put so much in that my hair felt like horse hair. i had to soak it in the bath for sometime aobut an hour and my hair was still stained black. it was stained for about 2 days before it all finally came out.
this was my favorite halloween because at the time I thought that I was the coolest princess ever.

I havn't read any of the books on the list but I looked up "City of Ashes." It looks like its really interesting and kind of like Twilight series. The way the summary is makes me really want to read the book and find out more about it. I like mysterie / suspence books and City of Ashes seems to fit both of those.

It seems like reading Edgar Allen 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 Allen 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?
In my english class last year, we read "The Raven" and it wasnt even that scarry. I also have one of his books and I've read the storries in it and they didnt seem to be scarry at all. when we listend to it in english, we listend to it on tape with someone reading in a creepy voice. I'd expect them to be alot scarrier and fun but they seemed kind of borring to me.
I'm expecting us to be reading some that I havnt read before because I've o nly read a few of his storries and that was about 2 years ago. but then again I'm sure that they arnt that scarry because we are reading the storries in school.
I've never read scarry storries- like creepy gross scarry- but I have read books like Mary and Carol Higgins Clark books and other mystery / murder / reality creepy books.
