Theme: Costume

In America, most people have costumes in their house. I think it is a custom in Western culture. I have wore costume once in High School during Halloween. It is a very fun experience. At first, I don't really know what is Halloween and why I should wore costume. Some of my friend explained it to me and put some weird stuff on me. The cloth is like a black sheet with some red color. Hopefully, the red dots looks like blood. They also put some very white foundation on my face, and black eye shadows all over my eyes. When I faced myself on a mirror, I thought it is really ugly. Then, we went out to hallway and took textbooks out of locker. Then, a bunch of ghosts went to classroom together. It is very easy to recognize you under make-up and costumes. However, I think it is one of the most remarkable experience in HS and I will carry this interesting memory though my whole life.

Thank you!

Theme: Easter Holiday

I don't think I have a lot of observations for Easter Holiday. Since we don't have Easter Holiday in China, I knew this is a holiday until I came to US. For me, Easter Holiday means Easter eggs, Easter bunny, Easter lily, one of Christians' holiday, and a Friday off. I think this holiday is from Holy Bible which indicates the resurrection of Jesus. Jesus died on Friday and resurrected on Sunday. So, every year the Sunday after March 21 or after a full moon is Easter Holiday. In my opinion, the reason why Easter is significant to Americans is America is country have more than a half of people believe in Jesus Chris and read Holy Bible everyday. So, the resurrection Sunday for Americans is a evidence to prove Jesus is Sun of God. This is very important for their belief.

Thank you!
