I would have to go on November 1 or 2.
b.) I would see decorated see alters with marigolds, copal, food, water, sugar skulls, and sometimes toys.
c.) We cremate  bodies as it is a religious aspect of our culture, and offer the ashes to a river. This is not something we celebrate, but we mourn because it is a sad event. Instead of it being colorful, we wear all white to show our sadness. We also hang a garland around a portrait to show they died.]]> 2017-11-06 17:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA61117S/wish/203999535 Amy J https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA61117S/wish/203999711 A) I would probably go on November 1st
B) I would see the alters that people made for their deceased loved ones.
C) I would say that since i'm Jewish, we would do this mourning thing called Sheloshim or something like that (I think that's what it's called). It's a 30 day or 7 day (I forget) mourning period where you don't do much. ]]> 2017-11-06 17:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA61117S/wish/203999711 Tyler Kushnick https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA61117S/wish/203999864 I WOULD HAVE TO GO ON OCTOBER 31 NOVEMBER 1 OR NOVEMBER 2.

c) I would say that we have somewhat similar traditions in the United States however they still are very different. For instance we have traditional cemetery services where we bring candles and pictures to come honor their prayers. Our traditions are not as celebratory, standard Italian traditions are rather dreary as we do not celebrate death. Although it is seen as time to come together and honor the person and their life.]]> 2017-11-06 17:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA61117S/wish/204000131 Adrianna Powell https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/HA61117S/wish/204000158 a) I would go on the week of November 1
