In the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, a girl is going through hard times; her parents tell her she is not allowed to go trick-or-treating and she feels a little bit sad but also relieved. I'm thinking that the reason she is feeling Sadness about this is because it was one of her childhood memories when things were good, and she feels that if she stops doing this she will lose that good feeling inside her. She is probably relieved though because that way if no one invites her to go with them, then she wont have to admit it when somebody asks her. It is kind of hard to let go of childhood traditions because you have done it for so long it feels like a part of you, and you don't want to feel like your loosing yourself to someone that your not. Even though it is hard to let go of our old childhood traditions it is something we all go through. Some day you'll just have to let it go and move on with your life.
