Today, we learned about Day of the Dead (which was today). I learned that is a very important holiday to Mexicans (and class 5-301). It celebrates loved ones that have passed away to celebrate what great lives they had. Because of this, I think that Mexicans have a very festive ways of celebrating.
I came to the idea that Mexicans have a very festive way of celebrating, because on Day of the Dead they have candies, sell little decorations (such as candle holders, little skulls etc.) eat lots of different foods, and decorate their houses!
This affects me because it changed my thinking about remembering people who have died. Instead of remembering loved one dying being a bad thing, it can be a happy thing to celebrate! Because before I thought of the people I knew that have died was a really sad and awful thing, but now I'm going to try to think about how great their lives were.
This affects the greater world because it makes people think about death in a different perspective, that it can be a happy thing to remember their lives.
