Example Of Essay On Modern Halloween Stories

The story about drunken Jack is the most interesting reading from Halloween readings. In the story, Jack is believed to have angered the devil by trapping him. When the devil was trapped on the branches of a certain tree, it became angry with Jack. When jack died, he was not allowed to go to heaven. When sent to the devil, he could not be accepted here since he had angered the devil sometimes back. Therefore, Jack had no place to go. This story is funny because no one expects that the devil can fail to accept an individual since its aim is to have as many followers as possible. It is difficult to explain where Jack went after he was rejected by both the heaven and the devil.
The bloody bone is a scary story that I have ever read from the internet. According to the article, there lived a woman in a certain forest. The woman had shaggy hair with red eyes. Some parts of her hair were gray while the rest were either yellow or green. People respected the woman and the forest in general. People used not to near the place where she resided in the forest. This was in fear of the consequences of moving to the place.
It was believed that those who moved to the place went back home only to find their children all suffering from fever. The cows of these individuals all dried due to the act. All the food products that are owned by any individual who violated the taboo rotted instantly. All the villagers were to ensure that this woman did not become angry since when angered, she would cause a lot of damage to the whole village.
The story is scaring in that it is not possible to imagine who the woman was and where the powers of this woman came from. It cannot be comprehended how the villagers ensured that the woman was not angered. It is not also possible to understand the kind of damage that the woman would cause when angered.
