Halloween 
 The pagan holiday Samhain, which the All Saints holy day replaced, was also known as the Day of the Dead.
Halloween 
 This is a happy holiday (even though it celebrates death) because some of the souls will visit the homes of their family.
Halloween 
 After mass Irish and Scottish immigration in the 19th century, Halloween became a major holiday in America.
Halloween 
 For example, the somewhat heavy concept of connecting to the dead was replaced with the more lighthearted idea of telling the future.
Halloween 
 Bobbing for apples, for example, became popular as a fortune-telling game on All Hallows' Eve: Apples would be selected to represent all of a woman's suitors, and the guy—er, apple—she ended up biting into would supposedly represent her future husband.
Halloween 
 In fact, Halloween previously posed a huge matchmaking opportunity for young women in the 19th century.

 In the 1930s costumes of characters from literature, radio, or movies became popular, and such costumes are also popular today.

 She had polio that left her disabled when she was 6 years old and some people think that she may have had spina bifida (a birth defect affecting the development of part of the spine) as well.
Frida Kahlo 
 Because of a traffic accident at age 18 which badly injured her, she had periods of severe pain for the rest of her life.
Frida Kahlo 
 Her paintings are often shocking in the way they show pain and the harsh lives of women, especially her feelings about not being able to have children.
Frida Kahlo 
 She was also influenced by native Mexican culture, shown in bright colors, with a mixture of realism and symbolism.
Frida Kahlo 
 Kahlo's work is sometimes called "surrealist", and although she organized art shows several times with European surrealists, she herself did not like that label.

 Her attention to female themes, and the honesty in her painting them, made her something of a feminist cult figure in the last decades of the 20th century.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 It was later made into a movie directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 What originally was a two-hundred-fifty-word photo-caption-job for Sports Illustrated grew to a novel-length feature story for Rolling Stone.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 Thompson said publisher Jann Wenner had "liked the first 20 or so jangled pages enough to take it seriously on its own terms and tentatively scheduled it for publication — which gave me the push I needed to keep working on it".
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 He had first submitted a 2,500 word manuscript to Sports Illustrated that was "aggressively rejected".
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 Thompson wrote that he concluded their March trip by spending some thirty-six hours alone in a hotel room "feverishly writing in my notebook" about his experiences.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 The genesis of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream is in that notebook.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 Frequently, it is difficult for a reader to know what is imaginary to the fictional characters and what is really happening as fact.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 The story accounts for two trips to Las Vegas, Nevada, that Hunter S. Thompson and attorney Oscar Zeta Acosta took in March and April 1971.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 The first trip spawned from an exposé Thompson was writing for Rolling Stone magazine about the Mexican-American television journalist Ruben Salazar, whom officers of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office had shot and killed with a tear gas grenade fired at close range during the National Chicano Moratorium March against the Vietnam War in 1970.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 Thompson was using Acosta — a prominent Mexican-American political activist and attorney — as a central source for the story, and the two found it difficult for a brown-skinned Mexican to talk openly with a white reporter in the racially tense atmosphere of Los Angeles, California.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 The two needed a more comfortable place to discuss the story and decided to take advantage of a Sports Illustrated magazine offer to write photograph captions for the annual Mint 400 desert race being held in Las Vegas.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 Weeks later, Thompson and Acosta returned to Las Vegas to report for Rolling Stone on the National District Attorneys Association's Conference on Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs being held from the April 25 to 29, 1971, and to add material to the larger Fear and Loathing narrative.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 Besides attending the attorneys' conference, Thompson and Acosta looked for ways in Vegas to explore the theme of the American Dream, which was the basis for the novel's second half, which Thompson referred at the time as "Vegas II".
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 On April 29, 1971, he began writing the full manuscript in a hotel room in Arcadia, California, in his spare time while completing "Strange Rumblings in Aztlan", the article chronicling the slain Chicano journalist Rubén Salazar.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 In November 1971, Rolling Stone published the combined texts of the trips as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream as a two-part article illustrated by Ralph Steadman, who, two years before, had worked with Thompson on a Scanlan's Monthly article titled "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved".
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 
 The next year, Random House quickly published the hardcover edition, with additional Steadman illustrations; The New York Times said it is "by far the best book yet on the decade of dope", with Tom Wolfe describing it as a "scorching epochal sensation".
