Entry #6. The State Fair.

  Since it's that time of the year again, let's talk about the Arizona State Fair! It comes once a year and stays for only a month. A little bit of background is that it began at the fairgrounds (Veterans Memorial Coliseum) in 1905. Ever since then, residents from all over the state have come together every year to enjoy the diverse communities, and have family fun at such a unique environment. Not only does the fair offer many opportunities of amusement but it also brings a sense of unity to our society as a state. Let's face it, when we think of the fair we think of the rides, games, the concerts, the exhibits, and of course, the FOOD! Who doesn't love the fair?! Although it can get a little crowded and pricey, I'd say that it is definitely worth it. Each minute that you spend there will not be wasted only because there are SO many options for you to choose from when it comes to food, rides, or games (57 rides and attractions to be exact) to keep you entertained.

This tells me that the author's intended audience is animal owners, or more specifically, cat owners. In the beginning of the ad the main characters, which are a couple, bring home a "cat" that turns out to be pretty reckless. In additi

Entry #4. Halloween!

 Halloween is one of the best times of the year. It basically marks the start of the rest of the best national holidays and, in my opinion, the best seasons of the year. Halloween is a holiday that is celebrated each year on the 31st of October. This is the day that everyone, no matter the age, can dress up in costumes and be whoever or whatever they want to be. Not only this, but children can also go trick-or-treating as well; this is when kids go walking around their neighborhoods, going door to door to ask for and collect candy while in their Halloween costumes. While doing this, they also say the expression "trick or treat". Although this is very fun and is typically what is done on Halloween, usually almost all adults and most teens do not participate in this activity. But, just because they do not participate in this activity, it shouldn't mean that they have to do nothing on this day. Right? If you are someone who doesn't like trick-or-treating or handing out c
