The Origin of Halloween

Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, primarily in the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saints' Day, but is today largely a secular celebration.

Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, committing pranks, telling ghost stories or other frightening tales, and watching horror films.

Development of artifacts and symbols associated with Halloween formed over time encompassing customs of medieval holy days as well as contemporary cultures. The souling practice of commemorating the soulsin purgatory with candle lanterns carved from turnips, became adapted into the making of jack-o'-lanterns.In traditional Celtic Halloween festivals, large turnips were hollowed out, carved with faces, and placed in windows to ward off evil spirits.The carving of pumpkins is associated with Halloween in North America where pumpkins are both readily available and much larger – making them easier to carve than turnips.Many families that celebrate Halloween carve a pumpkin into a frightening or comical face and place it on their doorstep after dark. The American tradition of carving pumpkins preceded the Great Famine period of Irish immigration and was originally associated with harvest time in general, not becoming specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 19th century.

The imagery of Halloween is derived from many sources, including national customs, works of Gothic and horror literature (such as the novels Frankenstein and Dracula), and classic horror films (such asFrankenstein and The Mummy).Elements of the autumn season, such as pumpkins, corn husks, andscarecrows, are also prevalent. Homes are often decorated with these types of symbols around Halloween.

Halloween imagery includes themes of death, evil, the occult, magic, or mythical monsters. Traditional characters include ghosts, witches, skeletons, vampires, werewolves, demons, bats, spiders, and black cats. Black and orange are the traditional Halloween colors and represent the darkness of night and the color of bonfires, autumn leaves, and jack-o'-lanterns.

¿ Glee vs. Camp Rock 2 ?

Even if there is already a review of Glee, now it presents the concern about the similarity between this and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, by Disney Channel.

First we’ll analyze Glee. This is a series about boys socially maladjusted, so they join a choir club. At first only six, a gothic girl, Tina, a gay, Kurt, an invalid, Artie, Mercedes the classic diva and finally one of the characters most significant of comedy, Rachel Berry, raised by two gay parents.

At first, this guys sang guided by Will Shuester, a Spanish teacher, who had been in the Glee Club. Then, he forces the quarterback from the football team, Finn Hudson, to join when they needed more members. After he joins, his girlfriend, the leader of the cheerleaders Quinn Frebray, and her best friends, Santana and Brittney also join the club to plunge the club and recover Finn.

Towards the end of the first season, the Glee guys, they were already 12 member as they should be, compete in the locals, but the headmaster says that unless they win the locals the Glee club would be closed.

This series was released on mid 2009 in North America and on the 5th of November in Argentina. Camp Rock was released on 2010 long after Glee’s success.

Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, in continuation of Camp Rock, is about an ordinary girl, Mitchie Torres, who is practically invisible in her school and has this dream of shine and being famous and she’s convinced that for this she must go to the summer camp, called Camp Rock, where all the famous, or almost all had started their careers.

One of them is Shane Gray, a rock star, who has behaved in such a way that they cancelled a Preview and his band mates, Nate and Jason, decided to send him to the camp as a counselor.

Then in the movie he met Mitchie, and she is the one to teach him to be nice person.

In the second film, Shane and Mitchie are dating, buta new camp opens, Camp Star, who challenges Camp Rock to a duel. The Camp Rock’s owner lost many staff, who went to the rival camp, and also some of the camp rockers, so if they don’t win the duel, this will be the end of Camp Rock.

If we analyze it well, we can say that it’s true, that Camp Rock is extremely similar to Glee, but it has different factors. Otherwise, both of them are really good films/series. Comedy entertainment to watch with the family or our friends.
