Answer: Trough bonfires, trick or treating, wearing costumes and telling stories

Explanation:

First of all, how it started? Origins of Halloween are dating since the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.

  • This was the festival which was celebrated by the Celts and they celebrated New Year on the first November. Why on the first of November? Because that day was referring beginning of cold and dark winter and because of that, the harvest, end of the summer and others, it was also bounded with death. People were believing that on that eve, there is a blurred line limit between the one who lives and the ones who are dead and that is why for example why zombie, vampire, Dracula, ghosts, and other costumes are so characteristic.
  • Some of the customs at first were including bonfires and ghost costumes and later it evolved in trick or treating. When Halloween first came to the USA, the customs were including celebrating the day of harvest and neighbors were talking scary stories, sing, and dance and Americans have borrowed trick or treating and wearing costumes from European people.

You will be doing a literary analysis by discussing how a particular literary element was used in a story. Use complete sentence
Mars2501 [29]

For this analysis I will deal with the element of characterization in the short story "The Instrument" by Canadian writer Wayde Compton. It tells the story of twin brothers Albert and Donald. They used to be siamese, conjoined at the back of their heads until they underwent surgery as children to separate them.

The conflict in the story arises when one of them wants to record a documentary about their father, a former musician that seems to have become mentally ill after years of drug use. The person financing the documentary is the same millionaire that paid for the surgery decades before. While Donald wants to record the documentary and interview his father, Albert will try to stop it because he thinks their father is crazy and he will embarrass himself.

The conflict is framed through the separation between the two brothers, both physical through the surgery they underwent and the resultant emotional separation. At one point, Donald sees Albert for the first time in a while, "Donald runs a hand over his own scalp, seems to catch himself doing it, puts his palm down flat on the white table". This quotation points out that the first thing that comes to mind when they see each other is how they were joined or connected, and we may hint some longing for reconnection, even if it is through reflex actions like touching the scar in the scalp.

gotchu bro, me and you are nouns.

A noun is a word that functions as the name of a specific object or set of objects, such as living creatures, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas. However, a noun is not a semantic category, so that it cannot be characterized in terms of its meaning.
