My opinion on the book

The pages of the book nightmare before christmas were good and bad.They were good because they were a good start for a story and they were bad because they were a little BIT boring but they were ok.I liked Jack and the strange voice of the doctor. Αlso his voice was a little scary.the little stupid place was where Sally put flowers in the doctor's drink then when he fell asleep Sally RAN away but then the doctor woke up and rolled with his chair and caught her.I mean it was a little stupid becauce he was in a chair and he caught her.Also I liked IT when Jack lived in Halloweentown and went to the Christmastown and then when he returned Jack told the people of Halloweentown about the Christmastown.

NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS[the description of the chapter 1,2,3

It was Halloween at the Halloween-Town.This night all the ghosts the witches and the monsters went out of their tomb and  they went to town because the wantED to scarE people.Jack Skellington was the most scary of all of them.With his scary songs and dances he scared the people.But Jack was bored because he did the same things all the nights of the Halloween every year.

One night he walked out of the Halloween -Town and he was walking for many hours.While he was walking he saw a beautiful town WHICH was the Christmas-Town and it was Christmas.He looked inside of a house and he saw a beautiful DECORATED tree and then he went back to the Halloween town.

When he arrived to the Halloween-Town he explained to all what he saw at the Christmas -town. While he was talking , SALLY was watching him. Sally was taking care OF an old doctor.For many years she tried to escape FROM the house,but the doctor ALWAYS CAUGHT her.

JACK ' O LANTERN

A jack-o'-lantern is a carved pumpkin, or turnip, associated chiefly with the holiday of Halloween, and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called will-o'-the-wisp or jack-o'-lantern. In a jack-o'-lantern, the top is cut off to form a lid, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved out of the pumpkin's rind to expose the hollow interior. To create the lantern effect, a light source is placed within before the lid is closed. This is traditionally a flame or electric candle, though pumpkin lights featuring various colors and flickering effects are also marketed specifically for this purpose. It is common to see jack-o'-lanterns on doorsteps and otherwise used as decorations during Halloween.

                               Oh!—fruit loved of boyhood!—the old days recalling,

                               When wood-grapes were purpling and brown nuts were falling!
                               When wild, ugly faces we carved in its skin,
                              Glaring out throught the dark with a candle within!
