Dia de Los Muertos
I am going to tell you about a famous, yet kinda eerie celebration that takes place in mexico. This is a tradition celebrated by the Mexican Natives,
most Mexican Americans (including myself) don 't even acknowledge this day, unless they happen to be visiting mexico at the time of this event.
Foreigners have more trouble understanding Dia de Los Muertos than any of Mexico 's other celebrations. At first glance, they see Day of the Dead
decorations which are colored paper garlands, little skeletons performing daily tasks and sugar skulls inscribed with names, which remind them of
Halloween. Other tourists discover that much like Memorial or Remembrance Day in the US, families here visit, clean and decorate graves of loved
ones for the...show more content...
There is a lot said about the crazy parades of dia de los muertos, but the cemeteries are a lot more spectacular. Flowers, candy, bread and drinks adorn
the tombs and thousands of candles cast an eerie glow on the families and friends mourning and celebrating their lost loved ones.
This is the place the souls of the dead revisit the land of the living and partake in the offerings given to them by their family and friends.
Although Dia de Los Muertos looks a lot like Halloween in the states, the Mexicans take it very seriously. To give you a better idea of how
Mexicans view death I found a quote by World Renowned writer Octavio Paz, he stated "undaunted by death, the Mexican has no qualms about
getting up close and personal with death, noting that he "...chases after it, mocks it, courts it, hugs it, sleeps with it; it is his favorite plaything and
his most lasting love." As you can see from the pictures you saw today and from the celebration 's I told you about, Death 's "bad" side seems to be
buried somewhere under music and remembrances, while skeletons laugh and dance and sing as Mexico celebrates life and

Dia De Los Muertos
Walking into the cemetery, I noticed that the night shined brighter than the day and the music was more alive than ever. I could hear the song,
"Puno de Tierra" by Ramon Ayala, playing in the background and there were many families gathered around the graves of their loved ones. I could
smell the fresh copal burning into the air and I noticed that my uncles tumba (tomb) looked cleaner than any other day. His grave was decorated
with marigolds, candy skulls, pan de muertos, and white candles along with a few of his favorite foods and a portrait of him placed in the middle for
everyone to see. Then, I suddenly open my eyes to see myself sitting down on a sofa from our living room, and in the background I heard my
grandmother continuously repeating...show more content...
I still recall the first time I got to experience the Mexican celebration in Mexico with all my aunts, uncles, cousins and friends gathered around to honor
those who left us behind. Living in the United States not only gave me a perspective of how Mexican traditions can change but also how strong these
traditions live. That may be why Dia de los Muertos has such a great meaning to me because no matter how you celebrate it, all that matters is the
way you honor your loved ones, regardless of how painful it is not to physically have them

Dia De Los Muerertos
The pet I am honoring for Dia de los Muertos is my dog Sa$ah. She is big, cute, and short. She has a clumsy, funny, and crazy personality. She was
important to me because she was always a pet that I could go to if I felt sad. Fortunately she hasn't died yet. My first memory of my dog was in the
living room. I was sitting down watching tv, when I heard her big paws running towards me. she came running and sat on my lap and started licking
me. I was so happy. I was lighthearted, because that was her first time ever licking me.
My second memory was in the back yard. I was playing with a tennis ball. I told her to go get it when I told her she listened and got it. I was full of joy
when she did that. She was a pet that
