Costumes!

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

The lamest costume I have ever worn would have to be when I was a really little girl my mom dressed me and my two other sisters up as the three little pigs! It was horrifying! I was about three years old and so I was a pretty chunky little girl and I looked like a real pig! I have to say it was pretty cute except for me looking like a real pig!

Edgar Allen Poe

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". 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.

Well I remember that last year in Mrs. Eaquinto's class we read the tell-tale heart. It was a really really creepy story. I'm not sure that it is the story that I am thinking about right now but I know that we read it. We also read The cask of amontillado. I remember watching the movie but not so much the book. It was a pretty creepy slash scary story. I generally don't like Scary stories or movies or anything because they scare me so I will have to say that I probably won't like lots of the stuff that we will read this term. I can't stand scary stories and movies because they freak me out and then my mind will start playing tricks on me and I get even more scared.
