Literary Calaverita!

Another way of Mexican culture to honour their lost loved ones  is literary calaveritas. These are irreverent verses or poems that tackle death with irony, satire and plain good humor.

1) Now it's your turn to come up with your own Literary Calaverita! Please, write it down in your journal.

2) If you don't feel like writing you are invited to draw your own version of La Catrina and write a verse of at least two or three lines.

Literary Calaverita (example)

Oh how clumsy was my neighbor

Who did try so very hard,

She was doing me a favor

When Death dealt her grievous card.

Yes, too clumsy was my neighbor,

But she tried so very hard

‘Till she met the First Engraver

(Left the car, of that I’m glad.)

Tomas Lausi reflection:

I think this is a very good celebration/ holiday because people shares good moment with family and friends. but the most important things is to remember the ones who there are no longer with us.

Franco Prola reflection:I think it is a very important day for Mexico since the whole country celebrates it. It is a good day to spend time with friends and family. For me it is a day that the whole country enjoys.

Rocco Benvenuti reflection: I think that this celebrity is a very important one because is a very good way to remember that persons that now a day arent with as. in conclusion its a very commemorabl day that it was expanded to every country .

Juani Mihura reflection: I think that the day of deaths is very important for Mexican people because they give some time that they have to stay with the people that is death. Other important thing about it is that the people commemorate the day of deaths to know that the life is very important.

Franco Morello reflection: I think that this day is important to mexicans people and to the rest of the world, but it is more important in mexico becouse the people take the day more seriously and in the rest of the world take it like more festival and with costumes

Martina Palermo:

For me, the Day of the Dead is very good because we remember all those who are no longer here, but it is a little scary knowing that you are talking to them.

Emilia Botta:

My reflection is that these people celebrate the Day of the Dead, which is about a celebration that most people like to celebrate. Even though the day of the dead is a little sad, these people make it fun. For example, they play music, dances and games. These people also like to dress up and put on dead makeup.

Lourdes Otero:

I think the day of the dead  is a very nice celebration where all dead people can be remember and memorized by their relatives or people they loved or loved. You can also remember the pets that died and you can make an altar which is a table with a decorative tablecloth and on top you place a photo of the person or animal you want to remember, candles and flower petals. When you want your relatives or dead people to come and celebrate this day with you, you just light the flame of the candles and the spirits of the people or pets will come.

Serena Vahle:

I think that the day of the dead is a good way to celébrate and honor the day of the people who died but at the same time I think its also a sad day because you probably miss the people who died.

Sol Borda:

My personal. reflection is that for me the Day of the Dead is apart from remembering the people who died, it is a celebration that happens once a year and you try to connect with those people that you loved so much and who died. It doesn't mean that you have to have a hard time remembering those people, you can still have a good time and the most important thing is that in some cases this can help you get over those people and know that although they are with us all the time there is a day that is dedicated to them, which is this, THE DAY OF THE DEAD.

Catalina Fiorillo:

For me it is a very good celebration because you can spend time with family and remember those good moments you had with those people who are no longer with you. But at the same time it is kind of sad because thinking that the person you loved very much is no longer here with you is very ugly.

Martina Vera:

For me, this day is very important for the Mexican people because it is their way of remembering their ancestors in a beautiful and special way, like with their favorite foods, i like it because they turn a sad moment into a prettier one. It's also nice because when you're celebrating you remember the nice moments you had with them.

Valentina Vidales:

For me, this day is very special for the Mexican people, since they remember their ancestors with joy and respect, making them with their favorite foods, colors, photos, sees, song, music and dances.

Catalina Ascune:

Day of the Dead is a beautiful and meaningful tradition. It is a time to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away, remembering them through altars with special foods, drinks and activities. It is a powerful reminder to cherish the memories of those we have lost. Appreciating the value of every moment we have with our beloved ones.

Sophie Ciervo:

It made me reflect because I used to believe that it was not a very important celebration, but it is because it is a celebration where those who are no longer here are remembered and I believe that it is also a celebration where the souls of the dead come to the world to visit us.￼

I love this day because I look people celebrating and they are happy so I think it’s a beautiful day.

Literary Calaverita:

ACTIVITY 1: make a personal reflection

For me it is an amazing celebration because the

altars,ofrendas,presents,flowers are so beautiful. The makeup is so pretty and for me it is like a nice way to celebrate that the people of our families or other's families relatives. What i loved was that the altars had food and things that the person that in that moment isn't there liked.

Also for me it is like the atmospheare is exploded with a lot of colors, music,paintngs,altars and a lot of confetti.

--------------------------------------------

ACTIVITY 2: write a verse of two or three lines

In the day of the dead

makeup glows,

on painted faces,

fear isn't heared.

in cementeries everybody fears but in the day of the dead you only have to hear.

# data[].attributes.body
Personal reflection

I think the day of the dead its a very important celebration because the dead or those who are no longer here in this world come to the world to celebrate with their families.On that day, relatives make offers, dance, sing and decorate the cemetery with food that the dead liked, lights and garlands.

Literary calaverita

On the day of the dead the dead ones come sing and dance. They eat their favorite foods with their loves ones.

Isabella Russo

Personal reflection:I think that the day of the dead is a good celebration becaus is good to think in our family members that aren't with us anymore. It is also an important day in mexico because it is their culture and tradition. It's a day to enjoy the music,the food and the time you spend with your family and ancestors.In this day you connect with the people that you lost and loved having a good time.

Literary calaverita:

Before the day of the dead a sound is hear, the dead appeared with a lovely hair.

She was searching the perfect person,to make it invisible and celebrated the situation

when the person was founded ,the celebration started

the dead had achieve its achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
Personal reflection: I think that the day of the dead is very interesting because is something that they don’t celebrate like that in many countries. For Mexico it’s a very important day because they dress like skulls, they dance in the streets, they give offerings to their forefathers, and more. They also feel they connect with their family that already died by giving them flowers and offerings. I think this Mexican people enjoy a lot this type of celebrations because it’s a original celebration that not many countries celebrate like that, in some of them they celebrate it like in a sad way but in Mexico it’s not like that.

Literary calaverita: In the streets, they light the flame,

For skeletons who know no shame.

Sugar skulls with hollow eyes,

Laugh at life and death’s disguise.

We celebrate the ones who’ve gone,

With marigolds, the party’s on.

But isn’t it funny, don’t you think,

That death is close with every blink?

Eat and drink, the feast is set,

For ghosts who haven’t left us yet.

The living dance, the dead just stare

Guess life’s a joke, and death’s the dare.

# data[].attributes.body
Personal reflection: I think that the day of the death is an important celebration, because you can go to the cemetery of your family or friends. And you can celebrate the death of other people. It is one of the most important events of Mexico and a lot of people go to the cemetery to celebrate. In this day you can connect with people that was death for example with your family.

Literary calaverita: The day of death could be fun, like a birthday in the park.

In the moonlight's gentle glow,
Candles flicker, spirits flow.
Marigolds dance in the night,
Guiding souls with vibrant light.

Photos placed on altars high,
Memories woven, never shy.
Sweetened bread and sugar skulls,
Echoes of laughter, love that pulls.

# data[].attributes.body
Personal reflection: I think that The Day of the Dead is a day of respect and joy. In this day many people have the posibility to gather with their loved ones that have gone, and with their loved ones that are still in this world. Families play music and prepare food that their ancestors used to enjoyed, and they went to the cementery to leave flowers in their grave. This is an unique and important celebration to honor and remember people that have gone.

Literary Calaverita:

In the Day of the Dead

We are full respect

Enjoying the food

And the always the mood

Going to the cementery

Everyone was

Full of mistery

The calaverita in the top

The music was good

The food too

People decorating

And others celebrating

To remember those we hold dear.
With flowers bright, we share and play,
Thinking of them on this special day.

# data[].attributes.body
PERSONAL REFLECTION: From my point of view, I think this celebration is very significant because it turns a sad visit to the cemetery into a happier one, where you can think about your loved ones that aren't with us anymore in a cheerful way. You can enjoy this day by participating in parades while playing traditional music, by decorating the street and cemeteries or by preparing traditional food that your loved ones liked. This celebration is a way of visiting them and to enjoy time with them in a spiritual way.

LITERARY CALAVERITA:

when the celebration starts,

the loved ones come

while they enjoy the food

they think about you.

they will never forget you

so you can stay calm

'cause even in a sky full of stars

they'll stay in your hearts

My personal reflection:

I think that the day of the dead is a very recreative and not usual day, most of the holidays are about commemorate important persons who did something important for our country, or maybe about an independence day. But this is about celebrating something that is “bad” and sad, with a lot of happiness! On this date people get dress as colorful skeletons and all together they go to the cemetery. They clean and decorate their dead’s gravesites, and do them “ofrendas”, the ones are small and personal altars honoring a loved person. I think it’s one of the most beautiful holidays in all the world, as it is full of color, music and happiness. In Argentina, when a relative or a friend dies, we cry and miss them, but I think it would be great to start celebrating our own “Day of the deads”.

Literary calaverita:

I miss my grand-grandmother

Every day that pass.

Whit her messy hair

And llamative eyes.

She was a fashion designer

The best one for me

As she made me proved

Every dress she had designed

I can say I survived her

Because she never took needles out

And I poke with them a lot of times

She died when I was little

Like 4 years ago

But until today my mum spoke

Of how she had been the best grandma in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
personal reflection: I think that the day of the dead is a good celebration because you try to take out the negative of losing a loved one and think that he or she is with you celebrating. Also the living people dress up as skeletons. They dance, eat and give offerings to the dead to remember them.

literary calaverita: they are poems that turn the tragedy of losing someone into something funny.

ej: i was celebrating the day of the dead

it was all shouts and dancing that day

my friend had read a book  that said

the day of the dead if for people that eat eastern eggs.

# data[].attributes.body
Personal Reflection: I think that the day of the dead is a great day to reunite with your family and remember the people you loved. In that day, the people can be happy celebrating with the people you love. It's a day where you can enjoy the food, making altars to the people you love that are dead, dancing, etc. It's a day where all Latin America celebrate and each one with their different versions, like the version of Mexico that is like an Aztec with Catholicism. So, in conclusion, I love the Day of the Dead because it's a day in which you can spend more time than usual with your family and remembering people that you lost.

Literary Calaverita: The people were looking for him, but once they founded, they took him to the cemetery.

The people were sad, but the day after they started celebrating with food and joy.

The soul of the dead was happy to see.

Personal Reflection

In my opinion, the day of the day might be one of the most wonderful celebrations around the world. It celebrates our loved relatives and friends who left this world, it makes us feel near to our loved ones once again. It might be so wonderful to be in one of its parades, streets full of colourful decorations such as papel picados, alebrijes and calaveritas, people wearing traditional costumes, getting calaveras face paintings. It is heartwarming watching whole families in cementeries bringing offers and welcoming their ancestor’s spirit back. To sum up, this tradition should keep being celebrated in order to pay respect and remember our loved gone familiars.

Literary Calaverita

On the day of the dead,

We celebrate

On the day of the dead,

No one’s frustrated

We remember our loved ones,

With flowers and food,

Dead sing and dance

In a jolly mood

Streets are full of parades,

we show what we appreciate

are loved ones are gone,

But for them we perform

In the altars they always are,

Surrounded by offers,

Even if they are far

We left the altars with great care,

Is just our love getting spared

We don’t know where you are,

But we miss you so much,

Even if I will not see you there

The Cempasuchil will lead you right where we first met

This is because we remember the family members that are not with us.This Day is celebrated with Food,music and games that they liked. The Day of the dead is celebrated on México but also in América. In this Day you can dress up with skulls or skeletons. Also they are remebered with ofrendas. It is celebrated on november 2nd.

I think that the day of the dead is wondeful,it make us remember our familiars ,that are in a beter place now.And everyone celebrates with food,decorating the places and even poeple dressing like skuls.Its a thing that we dont see on our every day life,we could also have photos of them to remember them,we talk about them and things that they used to told us,and to not be to sad to think that they are dead.People dress with skuls and decorating places.

Literaly calaverita

The day of the dead,a beatiful date.

That made us think,about them.

In our heart, remembered they will be.

From the hearth, warmth we feel.
In every tear, in every meal,in every day,they will be there.
A bridge between the olds and news.

Although he is dead,he will be there.

PERSONAL REFLECTION:For me, the Day of the Dead seems like something very nice to do, since it is people in your family who have already died and celebrate this day every November 2 in commemoration of them. I really like that it is done and on top of that it seems fun and People take that day very seriously, they decorate and make offerings. It is a day to listen to music, eat, be with family and have your family tell you about your ancestors. It is also a very important day for Mexico since it is also their culture. and tradition.

LITERARY CALAVERITA:

Personal reflection: What I think about the Day of the Dead is that it is a very beautiful day, because the people who do this tradition remember their loved ones who are no longer here, but they do not remember it in a sad way but rather they remember it in a in a funny way, dancing, celebrating and remembering with happiness the people who died, it is something beautiful, and surely the people who are no longer well feel very special when they are remembered on that day

PERSONAL REFLECTION

I the thay of the ded is a very special day for the persons that are no more with us. I think that becouse the persons that still alive commemorate those who are no longer with us with candles, papel picado, flowers, traditional food, calaveras, drinks, toys,etc. The day of the dead is celebrated in november 2nd.

The mexican people in the day of the dead they dress in skull clothes and put on a lot of makeup.

In my opinion the day of the dead is an amaizing day because the living persons in that day create a conection with the dead persons but at the same time a little bit sad day because in that day we remember the dead familiars or friends.

# data[].attributes.body
Personal reflection:

My opinion of the day of the dead, is that is a very especial day because you remember your ancestors and your family. Always is a nice celebration because you dance, you prepare food and you decorated the grade of your loved ones. In Mexico is very especial this celebration/holiday because they prepare very nice makeups and costumes, and they dance songs in the cemetery.

Literary calaverita:

The day of the dead

Is a nice day, because

You remember them.

The dead come down,

And the songs

Started to sound.

People remember

The ones that

They love, who are

in the sky.

Colors are use

To fell up the room

And show you

How life it meant

To be good.

Personal reflection: I think the day of the dead is a reakky nice celebration, not only because it honours the deceased, but also because of the vivid and fun way the ones who celebrate it do this holiday. I think that the way Mexicans celebrate it doesn't fit in other countries ( and that's why other cultures that celebrate it may change some traditions), but the extravagance in it is really beautiful. It's a real nice thing to do, it would be beautiful to be again with that one person, friend or even pet.I would celebrate it, but I don't think my family would be eager to celebrate this holiday.

Literary Calaverita:

When your loved ones aren't around

you may sink into the ground,

but on the day of the dead

they will come around.

You may not understand why they're always on your mind,

that's why on the day of the dead you have to be kind.

Put them some flowers, guide them home,

make the remember what they loved.

Personal reflection: For me, the day of the death is a day where the persons visit their dead relatives in their tombs and pass the day in the cemetery. The persons that visit the cemetery don’t go empty handed, but with offers, food and things that the dead ones used to like. If the people don’t visit he tombs they make an altar for them with the dead ones picture when they were alive, also they put offers. The people decorate the atmosphere with garlands, plastic skulls, etc. The persons paint their faces of skeletons, commemorating the death.

Literary Calaverita:

La Catrina with her dress so large,

Walks through the streets in the moonlight.

Her smile is soft, and her steps are quiet like the air around.

In her beautiful dress she moves,

Dancing with the dead at an easy pace and with a smile on her face.

Take her hand, don’t be afraid,

In death, there’s nothing to fear, nothing to fight,

The Day of the Dead is a very special day for Mexicans because it is the only country with this unique celebration in the world.

Its celebration consists of celebrating the deceased with offerings such as food, songs, flowers and other things. The celebration is when people look like skulls given good energy but looking sad is a shame.

They decorate their graves with flowers and the cemetery also that are drawn skulls on their faces and put a lot of music

With hearts wide open, we gather and share,
On this Day of the Dead, their souls fill the air.

Personal reflection: I think it’s interesting how families create ofrendas with photos and favorite foods. It makes me wonder what it would be like to celebrate and share stories about people we’ve lost. Even though I haven’t experienced it, I feel like it’s a beautiful way to keep memories alive and connect with family.

Literary calaverita: One dark night, Juanito dreamed,
with skeletons who brightly gleamed.
“Hey, Juanito! Come and play!
Death’s just a journeyno need to sway.”

With his guitar, he sang with cheer,
the skeletons danced, spreading good cheer.
“Laugh and enjoy, let’s celebrate,
life and death together how great!”

I think that the Day of the Dead is a vibrant celebration that honors those who have passed. Instead of sadness, it encourages us to remember and celebrate our loved ones through altars filled with flowers, food, and photos. This day reminds us that love transcends death and invites us to cherish life, embrace our cultural roots, and transform loss into a lively tribute.

Personal reflection:

In my opinion the Day of the Dead is a wonderful celebrations, because I can't understand how they celebated the death in a happily way. I like the way they think, that if they put ofrendas they family that died could go to visit the ones that are alive. Another think I like is that they decorate the streets, the cementeries, and their houses just for that day. I also like their costumes, all full of colours, and their traditional dresses. In conlution I love the way that they celebrate the dead, instead of thinking it on a bad way.

Literary calaverita:

Skeletons dance with a shimmy and shake,

Granny's back for her favorite cake.

She says, "More sugar, less bones, please,

And maybe some tacos to go with the feast!"

The marigolds bloom, bright as the sun,

While spirits and tacos are all having fun.

Cemeteries crowded, but don’t be alarmed,

They’re just here for the party, no one’s harmed!

So bring out the tequila, let’s raise a cheer,

For the Day of the Dead is the best time of year!

With laughter and music, and plenty of chatter,

Who knew the afterlife was such a fun matter?

In my opinion it is a good celebration because they see something that usually affects you emotionally, like death, they see it in a different way. I also liked the celebration since one feels their dead are present. I also like how the festivals are celebrated and what is done.

In Mexico they celebrate the Day of the Dead, for some that is wrong but it is the best. They decorate and celebrate from the heart, and if you don't like that you can go outside. Katrina motivates you and my heart goes to you. This day is yours, take advantage of eating and dancing quickly.
