Halloween is a celebration where people wear costumes depicting monsters or ghosts to represent the dead in a fun way. Typical Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving pumpkins, lighting bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, and watching horror films. In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is celebrated by making altars containing the favorite things of deceased loved ones and praying for those who have passed away. North Americans celebrate Halloween by trick-or-treating and attending costume parties, while Mexicans focus more on spiritual traditions and honoring the dead through altars and prayers. Both celebrations allow people to remember deceased loved ones, though they differ in customs and level of spiritual significance.

10. Activities between; Halloween and
the day of the Dead
THE DAY OF THE DEAD:
We, usually eat or dinner with the family and pray so much for the people that we loves but
they aren´t with us in this live, because they had to go until the paradise or to the hell, but we
pray for them. Also, we put the altar in the living room it´s the more typical place in the
house, really if you have an artist hands or a nice spirit you can spend all the afternoon doing
that ¡ In some towns, the people use costums too, like the Northamericans but here in Mexico
the people use another type of costums they wants to pretends be or been with the spirits
and no with the ghosts or monsters like our north neighboors.
HALLOWEEN:
The Northamericans usually use costums but like game only that, they don´t pretend to get
contact with the people under the ground, they just do it for eat candies with the typical
phrase “Trick or treat” they usually have parties to be happy in these holidays, and we don´t
know if they have a typical food in this night , maybe candies .

11. COMPARE:
The food: In our country it´s more delicious, for only one and simple
reason; We´ve Dead bread, they just have candies.
The activities: In Mexico and in Northamerica they have parties but in
differents ways, here it´s more spiritual and there it´s more about the
afraid and games, we think that it´s more like a joke. (But we respect
them).
People: The people use costumes in the two countries, but are complete
differents, we get into the conclusion it´s obviously because the history it
is so different.
Fun: They fun asking for trick or treat for win candies, and in their
parties, but the mexicans we know be funnier than them.

12. PREFERENCES
•
Omar: I prefere, the day of the dead in some ways like in the spiritual, and the food too
because i love the dead bread, but that´s about trick or treat and get drunk, and throw
paper around the houses it´s funnier too, i don´t know, for me it´s a draw.

13. CONCLUSION
We get into the conclusion that the two celebrations are so
special, because there´re some differents reasons to get in
contact with the people who have to leave this world but we
remember them in a happy way, and everybody it´s
happy, that´s something very positive for us.
