I would say my culture does not honor the dead as much as we should. A rare few will burn incense and candles in their honor every once and a while]]> 2017-11-06 15:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA71117O/wish/203929191 https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA71117O/wish/203930156 I would go at the end of October so that I would make it in time for November 1st and 2nd. When I would walk through the streets, I would see many different colors around me as well as the different kinds of food celebrated by people. They would have a table set up for their deceased family member by putting on the table what they enjoyed or what the liked to do when they were still alive. If someone asked me what I do to celebrate my family's death, I would say that we would bury them in a grave and would be say and it would be a day to mourn.]]> 2017-11-06 15:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA71117O/wish/203930156 https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA71117O/wish/203930526 You would have to leave a day or 2 before November 1st. You would see altars, sugar skulls, and more to honor the dead. My culture does not honor the dead like them. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA71117O/wish/203930526 https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA71117O/wish/203930545 I would go during the end of October to Mexico City. You would see a lot of masks and people dancing. In my culture it is a sad time whereas in Mexico it is a day of celebration for new lives born. You would see lit candles. My family does a wake and a funeral and we go to the church and remember them. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA71117O/wish/203930545 https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA71117O/wish/203931551 I would go late October, you would hear a lot of music, see a lot of masks, sugar skulls, people dancing . If someone asked me about the way my culture does it I would say we have something where its not as happy and its kind of like an open house and people come to visit and mourn with the family who had the loss]]> 2017-11-06 15:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA71117O/wish/203931551
