Halloween? Postponed?- Jolie Dottinger

-
October 31st, the one day out of our long 365 day year for children to dress up as a princess, a zombie, a ghost, anyone or thing that could possibly be thought of just to go around say three words, and collect candy for free! Every kid's favorite holiday! A way for children to form their own creative outlet and express their interests and desires. Endless twix, kit-kats, skittles, starbursts, milky ways waiting to be consumed. However, the horror has arrived and captured all the joy this holiday holds.

Out of any possible situation, who would have thought that a holiday could be postponed?

Snow; a pretty sight to see, a tolerable winter event that makes it needed to curl up with some hot chocolate but snow in October? During fall? What is this sorcery?

In Chicago, mother nature is not on their side. Due to snow, Halloween had to be postponed in certain areas. Some places included are:

Beecher

Dwight

Oakwood Hills

Marengo

Ringwood

Johnsburg

Shorewood

Vernon Hills

Westmont

Winnetka

As a kid hyped for one of the most ELITE holidays of the year, my whole world would be shattered. For all of us who were able to enjoy the fun holiday that Halloween is today, let's hope these kids will be able to experience the same once their day to celebrate arrives!

    I was NOT a fan of all these groups trying to postpone Halloween due to possible rain!

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
