Nonfictional Narrative: A Day At The Hunt
Nonfictional narrative

The house is decorated with streamers on the walls and paper skeletons taped to the bathroom doors, there is a cake on the counter, everyone is getting ready to head out for a couple hours [or a hour, depending if I am still willing to keep going or not], the sun is almost set, and everybody is dressed up and ready to start the hunt tonight. If you couldn’t already tell, there are 2 special occasions today[but for most people it is only one special occasion], the day that kids walk upon the streets while dressed up in either monster costumes or as their favorite cartoon/movie/TV character and go door to door, asking for candy at the houses with the lights on. The other occasion, however, is one that can happen any day of the year, one that is celebrated for one or more people at a single time[but only usually only one at a time] and everyone gives the person who is celebrated on this day presents and afterwards[or before] everyone eats cake and ice cream[They don’t always eat ice cream though, and I think pie is better than cake for this occasion]. I like to call this time of year cavity season.
At the start of this day, I go to school[if it is on a Monday or Tuesday], learn some stuff that doesn’t really help me get a job, go home and prepare for the

After we have eaten our cake, my mother opens her presents and says thank you to all of us. The last thing I do on this glorious night is take out my hunting results to trade with others and if I have candy I don’t like, then I put it in a basket on the kitchen table and put it there for my parents to eat. Then I sleep for the living nightmare which is also known as school, for I know that it will be terrible. I wonder how other people celebrate cavity season. Although I'm pretty sure that most people celebrate it the same way [at least in

    Which holiday celebrates harvest around a bonfire, monster carved pumpkins, candy sales that soar to the millions, and costumes that are as unpredictable as the weather? Halloween, of course! Halloween is the second most successful holiday behind Christmas and I don’t have enough paper to explain all of the reasons. Halloween comes in many colors but the ones we always associate it with are orange and black – orange represents the fall harvest and black represents darkness and death (creepy!). Seemingly, the two are twisted into one interestingly spooky season.…

    Mr. Hittson I totally apologize for Coltens actions. He is definately being raised better than that. I have had a long talk with him over this issue. I noticed this morning Colten seemed upset about something when he got dropped off. When he got into the school I texted him and told him to not let anything deter him in school if he is upset. He has been having girlfriend issues that I have been trying to guide him through and I think that is what has been wrong with him. He's usually not like this. He is being raised in a very good home with good guidance. I told him I will not tolerate him using profanity and disrespecting the teachers or the school. I also told him that in the future if he acts the same with future bosses, then he will be…

    My spook tacular Halloween consists of three things, which are getting dressed up in my extravagant costume, eating superb candy, and watching “ Charlie Brown and the Pumpkin Patch” with my family. This may sound really fun right, well before I can enjoy my fun Halloween evening, I have a lot to accomplish before I am allowed to enjoy my evening. Normally the first thing I do in the morning is I bring the decorations up from the basement and hang them up. The next thing I have to do is absolutely horrific, that small task leads to a long amount of time spent on actually making this gigantic orange item, and that item is carving a pumpkin. The third and final task I must complete is picking out different assortments of candy with my mom. After…

    By the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had become a secular, but community-centered holiday, with parades and town-wide parties as the featured entertainment. Despite the best efforts of many schools and communities, vandalism began to plague Halloween celebrations in many communities during this time. By the 1950s, town leaders had successfully limited vandalism and Halloween had evolved into a holiday directed mainly at the young. Due to the high numbers of young children during the fifties baby boom, parties moved from town civic centers into the classroom or home, where they could be more easily accommodated. Between 1920 and 1950, the centuries-old practice of trick-or-treating was also revived. Trick-or-treating was a relatively inexpensive way for an entire community to share the Halloween celebration. In theory, families could also prevent tricks being played on them by providing the neighborhood children with small treats. A new American tradition was born, and it has continued to grow. Today, Americans spend an estimated $6 billion annually on Halloween, making it the country’s second largest commercial…

    When I was older, my family moved from Michigan to Roslindale, Massachusetts and the bag of candy was lost among the many sealed boxes. However, while I don’t remember ever seeing that white bag again, the cycle continued. A new bag of candy replaced the old one on top the fridge. As I got older, though, my parents decided to let me make my own decisions about candy and…

    The trail continued around the east side of the lake entering a gathering of trees forming an insignificant forest along the lake’s shoreline. From our viewpoint, the trees concealing the trail eventually dispersed on the southeast side of the lake, and the trail blended into the landscape. Using our imagination, we envisioned the route against the rugged terrain sloping into the lake. No point in taking a vote now, we had trekked to the lake and the consensus was to proceed with a lap around the lake.…

    Everyone has their own community or organization for which they belong to. Within that community you tend to find who you are and what you are about. For me I found my identity in being an outdoors man. Being an outdoors man at my young age seems to be rare at this day, but that doesn’t prevent me from doing something I love and appreciate. Growing up with my family full of avid outdoors men helped influence me and only made my identity stronger.…
