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

  My best Halloween costume ever was when I was a New Zealand Mobster from the Mongeral Mob.  When my dad went on his mission (to New Zealand) his friends gave him a levi jacket with a red bulldog on the back with the words "Mongrel Mob".  Then they drew different symbols on it and gave him pins to put on it.  Some of the pins were; nazi symbol, american eagle.  I put my hair in a mohawk and spiked the rest of my hair.  I wore dark sunglasses from like the 80's. I also put on a white T-shirt underneath.  Instead of wearing jeans I wore what they were in New Zealand... a lava lava.  It is like a Hawaiin dress but guys were it and they are longer.  Then I wore some sandals.

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 y

Some of Poe's stories I have read is the Raven, and my teacher read to us the Pit and the pendulum. The Pit one was just strange and didn't make any sense to me at all. We also watched a short movie of the Pit and the Pendulum. The movie was even stranger than the book. This one was not very scary just strange.

The Raven is my favorite poem of all time. Not only does it scare me a little but it goes together perfectly. The Raven I thought was a bit confusing and I still dont understand some of it. This girl in my English class says it gave her night mares and she dreamt of Ravens for a while. In the parts I could understand it was very scary.

I am very anxious to learn and study more of Edgar Allen Poe's works even if they are a little bit strange sometimes.
