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

The best costume I ever had was when I was a pirate. It would be a zombie costume but I have'nt been that yet. The reason why the pirate costume was the best will be explaned in pareagraph two.

Being a pirate was my favorite because at that time I really liked pirates. Its also one of the only costumes I've ever worn. I liked pirates because they were cool and they were awsome and because they could bring around weapons.

So that is the reason that being a pirate was my favorite. I've been other things but that was like the only real costume I've been unless you consider dressing up with jeans, a black shirt and a hat a costume.

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?

I read tell tale heart. it was ok. I remember it was about this guy who wanted to kill a old man with a eagle eye.

it was kinda scary. I thought the guy shoud'nt have jumped to conclusions. It would have been a great story if the guy kept it cool.

as far as im concerned it was a great story.
