Truthfully, i believe our class did a pretty great job at our representation of The Day Of The Dead, Over the past two weeks i learned that Americans deal with death different than other cultures. In America a we have funerals and it is a sad day when someone dies. For example in my family if someone was to past we would be sad and everyone would probably be like that for about a week at most but in other cultures they would celebrate the dead instead of dwelling. To be completely honest i like the idea of celebrating death because i feel if someone dies they are going to a place much better than earth. Life is only so long so why celebrate a passing sadly because i know when that person was alive they loved they life and they wouldn't want you to be sad. Over these two weeks i learned life is to short to not celebrate death! I like the idea that they have celebration for two days and honor those who are gone by painting up and lighting candles in remembrance of loved ones. I think that life and deaths are beautiful because it brings families together even if they didn't get along they will on that day because it is all that person who is passing or coming into this world. Life is about living to the fullest until you die so why dwell when they didn't dwell but lived to the fullest?
