Personal Narrative: The Importance Of Six Flags

Great Essays
Anyone that knows me will tell you that fall is my favorite season. From the vibrant fall colors, to just sitting around a crackling fire with family and friends. I love so much about the fall season. When the air gets cool and crisp, I just cannot help thinking about Halloween and all things frightening. My favorite place is Six Flags, it is a yearly necessity, for lasting memories, great food, and Fright Fest. As far back as I can remember, my family and I have been going to Six Flags. It used to be the perfect place for schools to hold their picnics. Me and my younger sister would wait all year for this. As soon as the school would send out the letter, the pestering would begin. When I was younger, it was the most amazing thing that would happen all year, but as I got older it became something more than I ever imagined it to be. The closer it got to the day of the trip, the more enthusiastic I became. On the night before the trip I was so excited I became restless. My mother would make fried chicken for lunch and pack the cooler with all our favorite foods. My father would pack everything into the …show more content…
And absolutely no place does Halloween quite like Six Flags. Fright Fest, it is the place to go for everything Halloween, thrills, and some spine-tingling chills, believe me and they have it all. The sights and sounds of the spookiest time of year. For five weekends in September and October and on Halloween, Fright Fest comes alive. It is fang-tastic how the park transforms from a sunny summer fun venue, to the place that screams are made of. Every inch of the park is transformed into a Halloween lovers’ paradise. As I approach the entrance and get ready to enter a divergent world. The first thing I notice is a huge ominous pumpkin headed scarecrow hovering over the main entrance. It almost seems as if he is smirking an evil grin, amused that we would presume to even

Everywhere surrounding you are ginormous mountains with snow slowly melting and one huge blue body of water. There are trees all over the place, and everywhere you look you see nature and all of God’s creations. This fascinating place is Lake Tahoe, in Nevada. Lake Tahoe is absolutely one of the most gorgeous places I have ever been.…

    To many, the end of October is a time of corn mazes, costume parties, and haunted houses. Many cultures celebrate harvest festivals during October, though none are as well-known as Halloween. Because Halloween is primarily descended from the Celtic festival of Samhain, when some think of Halloween, they think of bats and cats and witches. However, although Halloween as it is currently know is a wholly American creation with regional rituals handed down by generations, it did not become a “full-blown American holiday” until the turn of the century (Bannatyne). Because of the contemporary nature of Halloween, without Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Sylvia Plath’s “Lady Lazarus”, and George A. Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead, the holiday as we…

    When I was younger on my twelfth birthday I had been given two options that I would receive as a present. My mother would either take me to Six Flags or she would buy me a mini motorcycle. This was a difficult decision because, although I never been to Six Flags I’ve always wanted a motorcycle. I had asked for a motorcycle the year before but, she said no because it was too dangerous. Still until this day I wonder why she allowed me to get one a year later.…

    Six Flags Last year I decided to go to Mozzeria for my deaf event, and this year I knew that I wanted to do something different. When I heard that Six Flags was devoting a day for the deaf, I marked my calendar because I figured it would be different than the typical restaurant scene. The only problem was that I didn’t want to go alone, and I knew that my mom and sister wouldn’t want to go. I asked Alex if he wanted to go with me and he said he would have to see, he texted me later and said that he would love to go and that his mom could drive us both there.…

    The author doesn’t comprehend why there are parents who allow their children to participate in these kinds of events. The author then proceeds to assert that she doesn’t “get Halloween, ..the celebration, ..the pumpkins” and overall the “creepy ghostly” features on houses. The adoption of repetition is to prompt the idea to the audience that the whole celebration is chaotic to her and shows the reason why she has written this article. Moreover, the comment attached was written by another parent, Ellie, conveys an opposite point of views from Warren’s. Ellie informs in a relaxed tone that she views Halloween as a “street party” as the other parents are able to “chat, ..meet now neighbours” and the “kids (are able to) get some excitement” during this event.…

    Two thousand five hundred eighty-seven. I could take an eight-hour flight or a casual thirty-seven-hour drive, but no matter what, I am still two thousand five hundred eighty-seven miles away from my home in New Haven, Connecticut. Being a college freshman, trying to juggle class, homework, projects, studying, sleeping, eating, and athletics; finding the travel time to go home is an almost impossible task. Add in the cost of the $600 flights round trip and there is no chance a student can go visit home when they feel a little homesick. I on the other hand had never even fathomed being homesick from the frozen tundra I called home.…

    And then that repeats itself, so it almost seems like there must be some rules that govern that behavior. As my adventure drew to a close, I thought, how appropriate that it should end on Halloween? After all, this is the day when people like to suspend their beliefs in the physical laws that govern our world. Spirits awaken from the dead.…
