Halloween is one of the most anticipated and celebrated holidays in the Western world. Here in the Philippines, it is also a fun and exciting holiday but not as much as in the United States. This essay is another piece where the author uses enumeration as the writing style. She aims to give readers a picture of what her son's Halloween party looked like.
The author enumerates her son's Dracula costume and all its components. She talks about the food and goodies that she prepared for his guests and of course, a Halloween party is not complete without the infamous Halloween decorations. She was very precise in her descriptions of the items in that party. She specified the brand of candies and the color scheme of the whole party (which was black and orange).
I felt this piece was given a bit more humor since the author included the price of everything she bought or made for the party. At the very end, she wrote "Total investment in emotion and puzzlement: indeterminable". Immediately, I thought back to everything she had written and realized just how much effort was put into making that party. Even though the author probably didn't see why she needed to put so much effort into this party, truly a mother would do anything for her child.
