We at PETP ( People for Ethical Treatment of Pumpkins) wish to express our outrage at the inhumane and cruel treatment of our little orange friends at the hand of unethical and barbaric pumpkin hunters! Once again, with pumpkin season upon us, thousands of so called "humans" will take to the fields in a cruel and evil frenzy to capture and kill one of God's most harmless and beautiful creatures, the pumpkin. Why must we allow this carnage to continue? Men no longer need to hunt the pumpkin to place food on their tables and feed their families. Must we allow the killing of millions of helpless pumpkins just to fill some caveman need for "sport"? Oh yes, some hunters do used the poor little lifeless bodies of the pumpkins they ruthlessly kill …show more content…
Thus encouraging both a new generation to this hideous "sport", and teaching poor little children to disrespect and treat in cruel way our fellow creatures on this planet. Worse, many schools now take their children on field trips to the habitat of the wild pumpkins. They turn them loose to chase down the little orange creatures and rip them from their families. Furthermore they carry them back to school where the awful and hideous mutilation of their poor trembling bodies is encouraged by their teachers! This must stop! Our scientists have known that, like humans, pumpkins mate for life and form loving and caring family units. We at PETP urge you to write your Representative and demand a stop to be put to this yearly slaughter of helpless pumpkins. We urge you to protest at stores which sell both captured pumpkins or the traps, knives, and guns used by those who hunt them. But most of all, we urge you, if you have trapped a pumpkin and he or she is still alive, PLEASE return him or her to wild so he or she may once be reunited with his or her family, to live our their lives as Mother Nature intended, free in the
Mac Hammond is able to use colorful words, such as butcher knife, throughout “Halloween” that brings the reader closer to the poem. Halloween is a nostalgic holiday for most people and there are specific words that will trigger those memories. Hammond exclaims, “The butcher knife goes in, first, at the top / And carves out the round stemmed lid” (1-2). There are numerous words used just in these two lines that can connect us with the poem. No one can talk about Halloween or pumpkins without the word carved involved. Whenever one starts to carve a pumpkin, they have to carve out that circle at the top so the center can be accessed. Hammond does a great job of painting that picture by using the words such as “carves”,
Introduction: Patrons of the season of Halloween spend over $2.5 billion dollars every year on candy, costumes, and decorations. Every year millions of kids get dressed up, knock on doors, and beg for candy. Have you ever wondered where this strange tradition originated? The three most important points of Halloween can be summed up by looking at its origins, how it came to include jack-o-lanterns and bobbing for apples, and how it is celebrated today with trick-or-treating and haunted houses.
After this weekend of plate scrapes and pie eating. I conclude that no matter the circumstance, buying your holiday pie will aide you mentally and physically through the fall pumpkin harvest. Some deranged people may say homemade is better but in reality convenience is really key. You may now proceed to eat your pie and enjoy, the perfect pumpkin pie and don’t forget the whip

Remember when we fed Bob and Patricia berries because they can eat them? So, we can use a fishing rod with a bunch of berries, which would attract some turkeys. Then, we pick one and eat it for Thanksgiving. Mom and Dad will never find out.”
Unlike the past, our present day version is somewhat different from the festival of Samhain (sow-in). Today, we celebrate by carving pumpkins into Jack-o-lanterns, buying costumes, having parties, trick or treating and even pranking. Some people even decorated their front lawns with huge, inflatable pumpkins or spiders.
First is the history of Halloween all according to a 2017 article from LiveScience by Benjamin Radford. Around 2,000 years ago in the United Kingdom Ireland, and the northern part of France the people called the Celts started this holiday. They called it Samhain back then instead of Halloween. November 1st marked their new year which resulted in them celebrating on October 31st. The New Year brought wintertime which to them meant death. On the night before winter which was October 31st, they believe that the spirits of the Dead came back. They wore costumes, put on bonfires, burned crops and sacrificed animals. When the Romans
Potatoes around the world are affected by the pressing issue, of gangs of cannibal potatoes. Theses gangs are making their new recruits eat french fries. These french fries could be there family. These potatoes are eating their own, and they enjoy it. In New York, there was a potato gang who raided a McDonalds and stole all the french fries.

One of the potatoes, who would like to remain anonymous, said in there testimony, ¨Until you eat french fries, it seems cruel. But here's the thing, these potatoes are already dead. Humans were already going to eat them

Francine Prose's short fictional piece, "Pumpkins," was about a therapist who was having an epiphany, with how this sudden incident that has happened in town, affects him so greatly. The short piece also played with the significance of the pumpkin in an interesting way. One thing that I noticed in my first read of Prose’s short piece was that it has a very serious and heavy tone. For example, just within the first two lines, “There was a terrible accident. A truck full of Halloween pumpkins is speeding…”. As well as the beginning sentence of paragraph two. The second thing that I had noticed in Prose’s piece was that the story was being told through the therapist perspective. Although it took me several reads to catch this, each time I read
On the other hand, you should make sure that your cat will not eat too much pumpkin because it may lead to diarrhea. Also, you should not give the stem, skin, or pulp of the pumpkin because these parts do not have enough nutrients. “Plain canned pumpkin is the best option for your pet, and will stay fresh in the refrigerator up to about a week after opening,” DiFabbio
Make sure that the annual pumpkin carving doesn’t end with a trip to the ER. Small children should never be allowed to use a knife to cut the pumpkin. It’s best to let them clean out the pumpkin and draw the face, then you carve out the design that they made. If your kids are older, there are carving kits that come with small saws that work better than knives. The saws reduce the chance of cuts, but you still need to closely supervise them.
