I agree to this because i think it is a great way to still spend time with your family members and also you can not be afrid about your death. I think pending time with your loved ones is a very nice thing to do so you can always have their spirit with you. I would celebrate this holiday because it would be fun to talk to all my alive or dead family members.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the way death is viewed during the celebration of Day of the Dead. The reason why is because its a special day to remember some one who you love and has passed. The idea of visiting your loved ones' graves once a year is a great way to spend time with them and remember all the good times you had with them. I don't find this holiday weird at all and I definitely would want to celebrate it. The reason is because I miss my family members and friends who passed and its a great way to remember them in a special way. We should be given the opportunity to even celebrate this holiday more than once a year.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to go visit your deceased loved one. I think it's good that they view death the way they do , you can't forget you loved one. If I had the opportunity I would definitely visit the graves of my family members
ReplyDeleteI think its a good way to celebrate someones death rather then mourning their death they celebrate. It shows a lot of respect for their loved ones that have passed. Its also a great way to bond altogether as a family. Yes if given the opportunity of celebrating this holiday I definitely would do it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the way they celebrate Day of the Dead because it is a good way to honor your loved ones who are passed and in a sense spend time with them by visiting their grave. Personally, I think visiting their graves is a little pointless because you are basically visited a decayed skeleton. Your loved one's are in a better place and watching over you and visiting their grave doesn't matter much because they are not truly there. I would not celebrate this holiday because standing around a grave doesn't bring you any closer to the dead loved one. If i want to celebrate a dead family members life i will reminisce in the comfort of my own house with other family members. I feel like going to their grave will not accomplish anything and doesn't really sound like fun.
ReplyDeleteI respect the fact that it is their believe and they love it but i am personally not a fan of visiting a dead person at a grave, the person does not even exist for God sake. I love the way they view death as the new beginning of life because they will always remember the person in their heart and will always pray for the dead, but the part about going to the grave and celebrating is like a waste of time. If "celebrating" it means to go to the grave and start eating and dancing, then am not going to do it because the person is already dead, he should be allowed to rest in peace and not in noise, but i can pray for the dead anytime i remember the person. Also, i don't like going to grave. If a person is dead, we have to accept the fact that he is dead and will never come back again.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the way death is viewed during the celebration of Day of the Dead. It is a very nice thing to remember that loved one once a year. It's very respectful to be with family round the grave having a great time. It is as if that loved one is still there with you. I would most definitely celebrate this holiday, not only because it's respectful, but mostly because it's family. Family does everything together, so why not? It'd be great to do it more than once a year.
ReplyDeleteThey way they view death on this day is okay because if they feel like they get a connection when doing these things then that's okay, but I wouldn't do that. And I feel as though that's okay to visit them, but dancing on their graves I would choose not to do. No i wouldn't celebrate this holiday because I feel that dancing and walking on other peoples graves is disrespectful so i wouldn't do that.
ReplyDeleteI feel as day of the dead is viewed in a very positive way and it is very sentimental in the remeberance of your deceased family members. The idea of remembering and celebrating their spirits is very loving because you know that they will always be there with you . If I had the chance to celebrate day of the dead I would because I do miss my passed family members and if I could know they were with me and let them know I still love them by celebrating I would , I find it a very positive and kindhearted idea to do that, many people don't and sometimes you need that celebration of their presence again !
ReplyDeleteI really like how they view death because I know that nobody who has passed away wants their loved ones sad about their death. So, I would agree with it. I think it's better to party and smile rather than cry when you visit their grave. I wouldn't celebrate this holiday if given the opportunity. I think the point of view I've been raised with makes me look at death differently. I think it's a brilliant idea but it sort of creeps me out to just party at graves.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they view death, it makes it seem not so sad and views it in a positive way. For us when someone passes its a time of grief and to morn. But not in Mexico they celebrate death knowing the ones they lost are always with them. On Day of the Dead they celebrate the ones they lost by listening to music, dancing, food, and dressing up. I like how they go and visit their love ones at their grave and decorate the grave with things that they loved. I would do the same thing spending the whole day there. If I was given the chance to celebrate this holiday I would definitely celebrate it! Instead of crying over your love ones, celebrate for them knowing their in peace and are always with us!
ReplyDeleteI like how death is viewed during the celebration of Day of the Dead. I like how they view it in a very positive way, unlike others who view it as the end of life. It's like it's giving hope, that life won't just abruptly end and we have nothing to fear. Though I'm a little uncomfortable about visiting cemeteries and graves, I think it's very sweet and a nice way to remember those you love who passed on. I may or may not celebrate that holiday when given the opportunity. It makes me just a little uncomfortable, but on the other hand, it might be a pleasant experience.
ReplyDeleteI agree with how death is celebrated in Mexico and other cultures around the world. Because Day of the Dead is when you remember love ones who have passed away. I agree with visiting your loved ones and just celebrating them because people want to be acknowledged, honored, and respected for all they have done. Given the opportunity I would celebrate this holiday because no one wants to be alone when dealing with death. However I think visiting the cemetery won’t do much because you have to deal with the idea that the person is dead and that they’re gone.
ReplyDeleteI like how Day of the Dead is celebrated. I respect the people for visiting their loved one's grave. Decorating it, bringing their favorite food, and just spending the day with some one who has passed away because it can relieve you from missing them so much. If I was given the opportunity, I would celebrate Day of the Day, but I would have to remember that they are gone and there isn't anything I can do about it.
ReplyDeleteI think that day of the dead is a good idea to celebrate people of the dead. Like how they decorate their loved one's graves and bringing their favorite food and enjoying it with them. They deserve to have a day with their loved ones even if they're dead just by spending a day with their loved ones, they can remember all the wonderful things they had with the deceased. I think that i would try to celebrate day of the dead because it is kind of a way to respect the dead
ReplyDeleteI agree with the way they celebrate the Day of the Dead because it shows how much they care for there loved ones that, there dead and there still getting attention when they visit the graves. Its nice that they respect there graves enough to decorate them and spend time giving ten there favorite food. It puts death in a positive way that once your gone your not really gone. I think I would celebrate the Day of the Dead because of visiting and spending time with pasted family members. It keeps there spirit alive. I totally agree with some of there beliefs with the dead.
ReplyDeletei agree with the way they celebrate the Day of the Dead, because it shows their respect for the people who aren't there any longer. By giving them attention and visiting their graves it makes me respect them even more. The idea of visiting your loved ones' graves is an open minded idea because it shows that somewhere in your mind you believe that they're still there for you to talk to, but once a year? i don't agree with that, i think that you should visit them when you need, and most of the time its more than once. If i had a chance, i definitely would try it. having a day to spend with someone that you dearly miss maybe a sad day, but it shouldn't consist of just sadness. it should have the feelings of joy, because you can reminisce to a person so amazing.
ReplyDeletei dont exactly agree with the way that they celebrate the Day of the Dead. i can see visiting the grave and bringing some things to put there, but i dislike how they basically party over a loved one who has passed. you should visit the grave of a loved one but i see it as a sign of disrespect by dancing and singing and being all happy when someone you loved died. i would not celebrate this holiday because like i said its not respectful to dance and party on a dead persons' grave.
ReplyDeleteI dont really agree with the way that they celebrate day of the dead. I like how they go to the grave once a year to show respect for the loved ones who passed but i dont think they should be partying over their grave and having a good time. I feel that the party over the grave becomes a social event for the people at the grave. I wouldnt celebrate this day because i feel that you should show your respect in another way other than having a party above their grave.
ReplyDeleteI like the way Day of the Dead is celebrated. It shows that even though a person isn't physically here, you can still be with them and celebrate. I'd like to go to my loved ones' graves once a year. I think it's a good way to remember them. I think I'd definitely participate in this holiday
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the idea of the day of the dead because it gives family members that are still living a sense of peace and happiness, knowing that their loved ones will live on and that they will not just rot away. I'd love to visit a loved ones grave because it's like seeing a friend after missing them for a long time. It's a happy and bright feeling that makes you feel that death isn't something to worry about. I'd appreciate this holiday dearly, if only for a chance to celebrate with my father once more
