Since its October, the thing that is on everyone’s minds is Halloween. The holiday spirit is everywhere this month, to the creepy haunted houses to the costumes that people wear to the candy that everyone is giving and receiving. It’s the day to show that we can play around with something scary and turn it into something fun for everyone to enjoy.
A pressing issue of this holiday is what to wear though. Lots of people chose to be ghosts, vampires, witches, wizards, zombies, and mummies; anything that they want to be. Two real scary types of people however are also popular choices: ninjas and pirates. Many people see these two types of people as very scary, but really fun to play around with for a day. So we decided to take a survey this month to see which of the two choices most people preferred. The question was broad, “Which is better: Pirates or Ninjas?” Those who answered ranged from an even mix of the school, from freshmen to seniors. The results were surprising close together, and many people were divided between the two before coming up with a sure answer for which one they preferred.
Out of the 100 people surveyed 44 chose pirates while a total of 56 voted ninjas.
Why do you think the results turned out this way? Think to yourself, what is your favorite of the two?
