The quote "Ape shall not kill ape" was popularized by the clothing brand "A Bathing Ape," as well as science fiction media franchise "The Planet of the Apes." It may seem like the quote has nothing to do with Remembrance Day, but I believe it has to do with the subject of war among human beings. At the beginning of the film "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," the main character, Caesar, is the leader of an incredibilly intelligent group of apes. Caesar is very wise, and throughout the movie he repeats a line over and over again, "Ape shall not kill Ape." Caesar doesn't believe in solving problems with his own kind by using violence. The apes work together to provide a better life for all, and when problems come up they usually solve them in a peaceful way. I don't know why humans can't do the same. Humans should not kill other humans, especially over unimportant things like oil, money, and land. We need to get our priorities straight and worry about the things that really matter. I believe that when a war starts and the people that are involved in it say that they need to be there to make it safer and solve the problem, they end up making the problem go from zero to one hundred real quick. I believe that trying to solve problems with violence doesn't do anything but make more problems. I don't want to say that the young men and women who joined the armies around the world died for nothing. They are all honourable men and women and they deserved better than having to go to war. They believed they were fighting for peace, but the wars have never stopped. You cannot fight for peace. It doesn't make any sense to fight to stop fighting. Going to war is an old-fashioned way to solve problems. It has been proven that it doesn't work because we keep having to go to war, so people need to find other ways to solve these problems. It is time as a planet to start making better decisions that will benefit all countries and all the people. The only problem I have with Remembrance Day is how we don't pay our respects to all the other people from different countries that died in these wars. All around the world people have lost fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends. We should remember that we have caused just as many deaths or even more than what we have experienced against us during these wars. We are not the only ones that have lost close ones. The whole world has been negatively affected by all of these wars, and it is time for us to respect one another and change the world for the better. Humans should never kill other humans.
Rest In Peace to all people from all around the world who died because of these awful wars. Peace and love to all of the families who have lost their beloved ones.

The True Spooks
I personally feel that Halloween is an enjoyable little holiday. Despite being very dark and ghoulish, everyone that participates seems to have a great time. I have always been a fan of Halloween. Even if it was snowing outside you would find me out on the streets knocking on everyone's doors. I don't know why some people think it is so bad to celebrate Halloween. They probably were never allowed to dress up with their friends and experience the fun of getting free candy. Everyone has their own unique opinion however, and I can't disrespect those people just because I believe something else. Halloween brings people together. Whether it be little kids trick-or-treating with each other or adults having spooky house parties. It is a great way to meet people that you never knew lived on your street. I feel Halloween brings a unique connection to people and it makes people feel happier and kinder to those around them. For example, Christmas is very private. People only celebrate it mostly with family members. While on Halloween people get to celebrate with almost everyone! Everyone is involved and it becomes one big party. For the people that think Halloween is a problem that needs to be stopped, in my opinion, has their priorities all wrong. Halloween is meant to be fun, it's only not fun when you have a negative attitude towards it. My point is that there are bigger problems around the world that need to solved rather than some little holiday that happens one night per year.
