ESSAY

In the United States are many different celebrations people like to hold. Among
them, we can emphasize two of them: Halloween and Thanksgiving. Americans

celebrate both festivities once a year. However, Halloween and Thanksgiving share a

bunch of differences, which will be discussed in the following essay.

One difference is the food people eat in those days. First, during Halloween,
pumpkin products can be found anywhere. [Pies, waffles, cakes and more use pumpkin

as their main ingredient.] In addition, children eat many candies because they go to ask
for them. On the other hand, thanksgiving food main detail is the turkey. [ People eat

homemade roasted turkey matching with rice and corn. Salads and potatoes pie cannot

miss at the table as well.]
