Dying Light: Stay Human

By Patrick Vanghn
Science and Tech Editor

Dying Light 2 is a sequel to the original hit about the city of Harran, the Quarantine Zone. But now the roles have reversed… The Harran Virus has now infected most of the world. You play as a Pilgrim- People who travel through the unforgiving vast post-apocalyptic world. Pilgrims are the only contact to carry important information and resources between cities. Zombies are everywhere but cannot survive sunlight or UV lights making safe spots and day travel the safest. You play as Aiden Caldwell, and you are trying to find your long lost sister after fifteen years.
You find the city Villedor in Europe and now can make major changes. You can Parkour around the city and find valuables such as “Inhibitors” which increase your strength and stamina. In this game you decide the fate of the city. The choices you make can bring prosperity or ruin to various settlements and change how non-playable characters view and interact with you. Will you gain allies or enemies? You must both make hard decisions and face consequences while trying to hold onto your heart and try to survive your infection. You must fight, you must decide, and you must Stay Human.
This game will have 5 years of support and over 500 hours to complete everything making a good investment for Money/Time ratios. In order to really know the game, one must look at the reviews:

Den of Geek has a flexible perspective on the game. “Dying Light 2 falls short of expectations, but you should think carefully before you decide to call this a "bad" game.” “Dying Light 2 Is Never The RPG It Wants to Be, but It Gets Closer to Greatness Than Many Other Games” Den of Geek explains the game was too ambitious to achieve everything it wanted to be, but did not make the same mistakes as cyberpunk 2077, stating “[Dying Light 2] simply isn't a bad game either”

Patrick's Opinion

   I decided to get the game on opening day, February 4th, on the recommendation of my best friend. The game has good graphics and so far a great story. This RPG game isn't fully realized but I agree with Den of Geek, it's still a decent game. I plan on playing it much more in the future. The game is very easy to play and the movements feel fluid. The combat is brutal and incredibly fun. Little details make the game so much better and the characters have genuine expressions and reactions to you.
   My main issue with the game however is it does get repetitive and tedious with traveling and exploring. The game is heavily focused on Parkour from the beginning. Jumping between buildings on broken makeshift bridges, in elevator shafts, or up random cliffs. Jumping and Stamina are your greatest tools. The game also prefers Melee combat, which makes sense 20 years after the fall of civilization, ammunition is incredibly rare.
   But even after the problems, Ill still be playing, the story has me hooked.

Uncharted

By : Sam Lloyd

What’s All the Hype About the Movie Uncharted?
After a 10 year development, several producers (some who worked on movies such as Venom and Stranger Things) and many different delays ( the pandemic being the big one), the movie Uncharted is finally ready for release on the 18th. The movie, which will star Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, is based on the popular game franchise Uncharted and has many people very excited. In the movie we follow a young Nathan Drake, played by Tom Holland, who is on a journey to find treasure and wealth with the help of his mentor and father figure Victor Sullivan, played by Mark Wahlberg. The game franchise has had huge success since its release in 2007 and the movie is set as the prequel to the beloved games. One CCHS student said, “I’m really excited for this movie. I love the games and I wanna see how the movie is.” People who are fans of the game are also excited for the very similar action that the games and the movie will share. With the trailer released and the movie only weeks away people are very excited. The official trailer that was released shows some very gripping scenes. We see Tom Holland falling from an airplane only saved by some cargo crates. We see lots of action and fighting in this trailer as well. Some people, however, wonder why you would want to watch a movie about a video game instead of actually playing it. During a zoom interview, Tom Holland said, “We’re telling the prequel story of how the character, Nathan Drake, became this worldwide known character.”

Posted 2/11/22

This prequel could actually give some insight to people who have never played the games before giving them more reason to play the games as they aren’t really a stranger to them anymore.. With prior knowledge to the story of the characters, Sony may have created a way to get more people interested in playing the game. This ingenious strategy could very well sell both the games and the movie. With the movie only two weeks away, we’ll have to wait and see just how good or bad it will be.

A little more insight into the games

Uncharted is a video game series that follows Nathan Drake, an explorer and treasure hunter looking for the next big score.

The first game was released by Playstation in 2007. With 7 instalments the franchise has become extremely popular. Having shipped over 41 million units and made over 38.5 million dollars over the games. The realistic graphics, puzzling gameplay and gripping story keep players engaged in the incredible games. The most popular is Uncharted 4: A Thief's End with over 15 million copies of the game sold since its release in 2015. The franchise has won several awards including Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune winning the game of the year award for the PS3. After that the franchise has won over 10 different awards spanning over several categories. It’s clear that these games have been a huge hit for Playstation.

Lunar New Year is a way to “usher out the old year and are meant to bring luck and prosperity in the new one.” Each year the Lunar New Year is celebrated for 16 days straight, in the 16 days, there are 3 different phases, The first phase of the 16 days starts around January 24th to the 31st of January, during this period, it is known as Little Year. Those 7 days, it is used to prepare for the next phase of the Lunar New Year, which is the Spring Festival. It lasts from February 1st to the 11th, that time is used to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The final part of the 16-day festival is Lantern Festival, the 3 remaining days of the Lunar New Year are used to prepare for the final day of the Lunar New year, which is the Lantern Festival. In traditional Chinese Tradition, they have these 12 Chinese Zodiacs, in a chosen order, which was decided by a Chinese folk tale, of how all 12 of these mystical creatures were placed in their order. The way they were placed was via race. The order goes by; the rat, the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog, and finally the Boar. Each of these 12 mythical creatures has certain years that they reappear in. This year of 2022 is the year of the Tiger, each of these Creatures has very different personalities.

Posted 2/6/22

The Zodiacs are almost the same as your Astrology sign, except it is different. The Chinese Zodiacs are every year, unlike the Astrology signs, of how they are certain months in the year. Lunar new year happens only once a year, every year. For the traditions that Lunar New Year is, it is a great event to attend. Make sure you try and attend your local Lunar New Year next year.

Eternals: The Marvel's newest spin to Phase four

November 5, 2021, marks the day that Eternals, the newest Marvel movie, came out. There was a lot of speculation of how the movie follows the latest plotlines of the Fourth Phase from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Eternals stars Angelina Jolie as Thena, Kit Harrington as the Black Knight, and even Harry Styles as Eros. The newest addition has a run time of 2 hours and 37 minutes and reached $71 million in box office within the first weekend.
Eternals is about ancient alien bloodlines that have been living on Earth for thousands of years. After an unexpected tragedy happens, the aliens are forced to come together to defeat mankind’s oldest enemy, The Deviants. The movie takes place after the end of Marvel’s third phase movie, Avengers: Endgame, and is one of the first movies in the fourth phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Kaz Firpo, one of the scriptwriters for Eternals said “It’s really a movie that’s about Humanity with a capital H...and the question of: Are we worthy of this gift that we’ve been given of both this planet and life?”
Eternals has currently made $281.4 million in the box office globally as of November 14th, surpassing Clifford the Big Red Dog. Since the movie was such a big hit, many fans are wondering if there will be a sequel to the movie. During an interview Director, Chloe Zhao was asked about the likelihood of a sequel in which she answered, “You know, I was very encouraged to make a good standalone film and nothing further. With this specific film, let’s put everything on the table and see what happens.” She later went on to say that Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, was the reason for the movie being so open-ended. Many fans think the reason for the ending was so there could be a further development of the plotlines.
Eternals is not currently on Disney+ like all the other Marvel movies, but it is predicted to be added in the middle of December and is also not on any other streaming channel. The movie, however, is still in theaters and has many movie times to pick from.

October Recap: The TOP 5 most popular albums

Written By Alaina Mast
Entertainment Writer

October has come to an end and it is time to talk about the top albums of the month

1. Certified Lover Boy by Drake was the most listened to album by the end of the month. The album first came out on September 13 of this year but gained huge recognition when memes of Drake began to spread last month. Overall, people aren’t too impressed with the album, but they definitely think the artist is meme-worthy.

2. In second place, for the most listened to albums of the month is Planet Her by Doja Cat. Planet Her came out June 25, 2021, four months before, but continued to grow as time went on. The album has a run time of 44 minutes and 6 sections with 12 songs on the album.

3. MONTERO by Lil Nas X is the third most listened to album in October, and much like Certified Lover Boy, it came out a month prior but continued to grow throughout the month of October. MONTERO, the self-named album is mainly about Lil Nas X and his sexuality. The album has 15 songs and the songs, MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name), Industry Baby, and THATS WHAT I WANT, seem to be the most popular of the album.

4. Olivia Rodrigo’s first album SOUR seemed to be a hit as it varies with the genres and emotions throughout the album. Olivia Rodrigo is a Disney Channel actor but recently came to light from her album releasing in May of this year. Despite the album coming out 5 months before, it is still one of the most listened to albums in the country. The album has 11 songs, running at 34 minutes 41 seconds.

5. At fifth place for the most listened to album of October is Donda by Kanye West. Donda is the most recent released album from the 44 year old rapper. The album is named after his late mother Donda West, however, the album is mainly about him -- his continued reckoning with his faith, his relationship with the music world and the end of his marriage to Kim Kardashian.

Top 5 songs of the month

1. Easy On Me - Adele
2. INDUSTRY BABY - Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow
3. STAY - Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI
4. Heat Waves - Glass Animals
5. Moth to a Flame - Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd

They were able to see Act 1 which takes place in the Crypt of Dracula’s Castle. It is the evening, Count Dracula and his wives awaken in their coffins in the crypt of his castle. In order to satisfy the blood hunger of the Count, his most trusted henchman Reinfeld, arrives in the coach with Flora, a lovely young gift from the village.
The students were able to see how the harness was attached to the ballerina so she could fly across the stage. The ballerina gave the students a demonstration of using and not using her hands and making her dress appear to float over the stage.
The students discussed manners, rules and the etiquette of ballet. Everyone applauded at the end of the performance and showed respect for the dancers. It was the first opportunity to go on a field trip since Covid. The students said they had a wonderful time, “I thought it was all awesome,” said Miranda Bodily, “I loved it,” said Olivia Martinsen.

VENOM 2: Let There Be Carnage

Written By Alaina Mast
Entertainment Editor

On October 1, 2021, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures released the second movie of the Venom series, the original idea coming from the Spider-Man comics. Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and Venom, Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady and Carnage, Steven Graham as Detective Patrick Mulligan, and Michelle Williams as Anne Weying.
According to ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ Venom 2 made $90.1 million in the first three days of the release, which is the biggest box office weekend since the COVID-19 pandemic started. In comparison, Venom, the first of the two, opened to $80.3 million in 2018 during its initial release. Before Venom 2’s release, Black Widow was the holder of the highest box office opening since the pandemic, earning almost $81 million.
Venom, which was released 3 years prior, is about a journalist, Eddie Brock, who is trying to take down Carlton Drake, the founder of Life Foundation, an American genetics corporation. While investigating the corporation, Eddie’s body merges with the alien Venom, giving him the ability of superhuman strength. Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage, on the other hand is quite different from the first movie. It starts out showing Eddie Brock still struggling to coexist with Venom then after a misshapen event, serial killer, Cletus Kasady, also becomes a host to an alien symbiote. Putting their differences aside, Eddie and Venom team up to stop the new coming alien.
Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage is set in the summer of 2024, where a lot of the latest Marvel films and shows have been taking place. Movies like Spider-Man: Far From Home, Shang-Chi, and The Eternals, and shows like WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier are taking place during this year.
When it comes to Marvel movies, the fans are well aware of the mid-credit scene that plays after the movie. And while this is debatable, the mid-credit scene from Venom 2 was the best I have seen and it had excited many other Marvel fans. If you do plan on watching Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage, it is highly recommended to stay for that scene, but if you are a Marvel fan and aren’t going to watch this movie, it is safe to say that you will be missing out.

GET out and go to concerts: 2021 concerts in utah

Written By Kailene Meiners
Student Life Editor

As the year of 2021 comes to an end, many concerts are being held right here in the valley. In some cases they are completely open and back to normal as concerts were before COVID hit, but others do require minimal restrictions. Before a performance, certain concert halls will need confirmation of a vaccination, or a negative COVID-19 test. Audiences will need a vaccination card or a negative test to attend this fall's Amy Grant and Los Angeles Azules shows at Eccles Theater. “To keep everyone touring across the country without interruption and to protect the health and safety of fans, Live at the Eccles will require all fans to provide proof of vaccination or a negative test in order to attend our shows until further notice,” according to a Live at the Eccles Facebook post. The vaccination requirements are sparking anger among some fans, but others see no harm, as it is the only truly safe way to have concerts completely back to normal. Artists
John Legend rescheduled his tour multiple times before finally taking the road to share his “Bigger Love” album. The singer originally had mixed feelings about returning to touring in the first place, but when asked about how he felt about his final decision he seem enthusiastic about the result: “There are a lot of folks who have been telling me on social media that this is the first show that they have been to since the pandemic... I feel honored that they would come to their first show with me and I feel a responsibility to give them a great time. So I want to give them a great time and I want it to be celebratory and full of love and connection and inspiration.”(John Legend). John Legend will be at the Sandy Amphitheater on October 2nd, but if you were too late to get tickets don’t even worry, many more shows will be taking place in Utah in the next few months.
Another artist performing soon for example is Daughtry on November 30th at the Complex in Salt Lake City. Again one who had to cancel his tour, a CCHS student could not be more excited about his appearance: “I think it’s really great that artists are able to come back out and share with us in person again, Daughtry is someone I listened to all through the pandemic so it’d be really cool to hear him.” Many other touring artists include but are not limited to, JP Saze on October 26th, Jeremy Zucker on October 30th, and Beach Bunny on December 1st.

NEW NINTENDO switch GAMES COMING OUT IN 2022

Written By Madison McGee
Staff Writer

Hold onto your Nintendo Switch because there are so many new and highly anticipated games coming out in 2022 which are going to be awesome.

A lot of the games that I’m excited for are coming out sometime in the next few years. It seems like 2022 is too long of a wait but an important person at Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, once said, “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.” Quality things take time to produce. So, while we’re waiting for the release of these games, we can talk about them instead.

There are too many games coming out within the next two years to fully discuss them all, but there are two that I want to highlight: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is set to be released during Spring 2022. This game captures all 9 Star Wars movies, and I think that this will be one of the coolest games ever. There’s going to be well-made cut-scenes, dynamic battles, a wide range of characters, and more.

“Fans can play through all nine Episodes of the core saga, travel through hyperspace and explore over 20 unlockable planets...Players can also unlock and choose from over 300 characters.”

Along with many others, I grew up playing the LEGO games, and I remember especially loving the LEGO Star Wars games, so this is going to be really nostalgic for me and the rest of the community.

The second game I was to discuss which is understandably the most anticipated game that will come out in 2022- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel. This is probably the game that I’m most looking forward to playing seeing as the first one was so amazing. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was ahead of its time, with a compelling story, amazing soundtrack, and breathtaking graphics, it did not disappoint. The first game actually won multiple awards including “Game of the Year” and many others.
There are definitely high expectations set for the sequel but judging from the trailer, which was released on June 15, 2021, this game seems like it will be perfect. The trailer literally left me speechless, I was so in awe and shocked at how amazing everything was. There were so many elements, and it’s a lot to unpack and analyze but there’s a few things to note.

“There’s some paragliding up in the clouds, along with more a freefall mechanic that seems ripped right out of Skyward Sword, and a new glove that looks to be taking the place of the Sheikah slate for Breath of the Wild 2...There’s even a short clip of a splashed puddle… reverting in time?”

Along with that, it shows the Hyrule Castle lift up at the end, surrounded by smoke, as the sun sets. The music choice for this trailer is so interesting and perfect, and I can’t wait to hear all the main themes in the game.

I can’t tell which one I’m more excited for but I do know that they will both be amazing.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 Trailer

List of other anticipated Nintendo games coming out:

Splatoon 3 (2022)
Kirby and the Forgotten Land (2022)
Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope (2022)
Mario Party Superstars (2021)
Metroid Dread (2021)

DINOSAURS: The Opinion of the Students at COrner

LUKE FEATHERSON
STAFF WRITER

Dinosaurs are widely regarded as very cool animals. This may sound like an opinion- however, it is an irrefutable fact. There Is a very rampant myth that dinosaurs are Not cool- not only is this statement filled with misinformation, and this statement is usually involved with emotion. So I set my life aside and looked around the school to find just how misinformed corner canyon is- what is the Consensus among us about dinosaurs. I began by asking my CCHS chronicle buddies-
“Yes I like Dinosaurs” - Claims one of my peers
“I really like brachiosaurs” Claims Stephanie Guzman-De La Hoz
It would appear my Journalism friends are correct so far, so I went around the school and interviewed people.
Sam Free claims, “Dinosaurs are very cool- you just like- gotta respect them, if you don't its an outrage” However- Sam says that dinosaurs are only strong when they don't need to deal with asteroids. Sam afterward makes a very bold claim- “I could beat a velociraptor in a boxing match”
Noah Geertson Comes around and says that velociraptor was his favorite dinosaur. We discussed and we both believed that dinosaurs would have evolved intelligence.

“If dinosaurs developed intelligence- they would surely be racist” and even says that we would eventually get into a world war with dinosaurs- “Dinosaurs should be around- so we can make a peace treaty with them.” I'm now getting curious about what Dinosaurs corner students could take in a fight. Noah says he could take “A bunch of Compsognathus in a fight- with a scythe- and a velociraptor if he had knee pads.”
Boston Carlson claims “I could take a Trex in a fight” when asked how to deal with the Trex in a fight- She says “I don't know- but I surely would not Handcuff the dinosaurs.” and even says she could, “Take a second Trex if I had a knife”
Kenzie Zimmermann claims to be able to take A velociraptor in a fight- and could “Take 2 velociraptors with a knife- but I would be wounded” I asked Kenzie if she could take a Trex. Kenzie said she could- when asked how- she would “Climb on top of the Trex- they can't get you up top.
We both agreed that dinosaurs would evolve intelligence- and Kenzie says she would “Be in a group project with a dinosaur- so long as they actually do the work”

Olivia Rodrigo: A Disney Star to the next Music STar

The Series Continues: THE next Michael vey book releasing soon

Written By Marley Richardson
Staff Writer

In 2011, Richard Paul Evans released the beginning of a series: Michael Vey. The first book was named, ‘Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25’. The story follows Michael Vey, a teenager with the ability to pulse or surge electricity out of the palms of his hands. Michael Vey is a 15 year old teenager with Tourette's Syndrome and an electrical superpower that he desperately works to keep hidden from the world. His abilities allow him to shock people through physical contact whether its the skin or through metal much like an electric eel. He manages to remain inconspicuous and "normal" until the high school bullies, Jack, Mitchell and Wade, attack him. Michael loses control and shocks them, all in front of a popular cheerleader Taylor Ridley. Michael worries that Taylor will tell everyone what she saw, but when she seeks him out over the next few days, Michael figures out that she also has electrical abilities. Michael, Taylor, and Ostin, Michael's genius best friend, form a small club called The Electroclan which is for people with unique electrical abilities. Michael and Taylor discover that they were both born at the Pasadena General hospital in California within a few days of each other, and that many infants born in that same time in the same hospital had mysteriously died.
Soon after this discovery, the three of them realize that Michael and Taylor are being tracked by a secret organization called the Elgen. Both Michael and Taylor receive scholarships from the Elgen Academy but they grow nervous. When Michael tells his mother about the scholarship on his birthday a few days later, she is proud and excited, until he mentions the name of the school. Without explaining herself, she makes him leave PizzaMax, the restaurant where they are eating. On their way to the car, a man attempts to rob them. Michael shocks him, and another man appears, accompanied by two teenagers. The man identifies himself as Dr. James "Jim" Hatch. He knows about Michael and Taylor's abilities. The teenagers with him also have special electrical abilities. One of the teenagers, Zeus, shocks his mother, and the other, Nichelle, drains Michael's electricity until he passes out. Michael wakes up in a hospital and is told that his mother has been kidnapped. The story continues on as Michael, Taylor, Ostin, Jack, and Wade set on to save his mother. The story goes on ending in 7 books. This series is amazing and I highly recommend to all those interested in sci-fi and adventure.

New Percy Jackson Television series coming soon

Written By Kailene Meiners
Student Life Editor

Did you grow up reading Percy Jackson? For the past year or so, fans of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series have been patiently waiting for their promised adapted TV show. Work has just now been gone into the casting of the show after a long period of script writing. The author of the book series, Rick Riordan, has kept his fans in the loop of the process every step of the way. This choice has both helped with the build up, but also increased the anxiousness as fans realize how far away the making and releasing of the show actually is.
The character of Percy Jackson is a teenager when we first meet him in the pages of
The Lightning Thief, bouncing around schools with his single mother, Sally. After they are attacked by monsters from Greek mythology, Percy learns that he is the half-human son of one of the Olympian gods, and is brought to Camp Half-Blood to learn alongside other demigods. The rest of the series follows his adventures, leading up to an inevitable battle discussed throughout the series. The goal for the show is to follow the series, which each season a book, but the initial goal is to adapt the first book into the series and reevaluate based off of the reactions.
The upcoming series is a chance to revive the franchise as a whole, as it strives to bring older grown up fans together with the new targeted age group. Every day we learn more and more about the series, it’s not set to release until 2023. Despite the far out time frame, the hype has not died down as fans leach on to any new info they can get.

unique style of storytelling that stands out from any of Marvels titles. This movie really gives a relatable stance to people apart
of the asian culture. Many Marvel movies/characters don’t show too much asian
representation and this movie did a great job of showing it.
This film has received fantastic ratings and 92% on rotten tomatoes. It was also rated a 8.1/10 on IMDB.
The most important point of the movie is Shang-chi is the first Asian superhero in the MCU so it’s important that all people interested to go watch this movie right away.

The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節)

By Madison McGee
Staff Writer

The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節) is coming up! The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is an important traditional holiday about family, food, worship, and celebration.
It is celebrated every year, during the time in which the moon is at its brightest and fullest, on the 15th day of the eight month in the lunar calendar, or from September to the beginning of October in the Gregorian calendar.
It is celebrated in East and Southeast Asia and it has also become one of the major traditional Chinese festivals as famous as Chinese New Year.
This festival originates in ancient China. The celebration of the autumn harvest began in the Shang Dynasty and Western Zhou Dynasty. The name first appeared in the “Rite of Zhou.” The "Book of Rites," said, "The Mid-Autumn Moon nourishes senility and eats porridge."
As it gained popularity, the festival truly started during the Tang Dynasty, when the emperor began celebrating it and rewarding his officials. It prevailed during the Song Dynasty, when the popular folk festival officially started on the 15th day of the eight month.
However, this festival peaked during the Ming and Qing Dynasties when it became an official folk festival in China.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a holiday that brings families together. People come home to eat delicious food together, reunite, and worship their ancestors.
Food is a really important part of this holiday. The food signifies completeness and reunion and reflects the moon. We eat a lot of fruit such as 柚子, which is Chinese grapefruit.

However, dessert is the most notable part of the holiday. Mooncakes are for dessert and they're absolutely delicious. Its round shape symbolizes completeness and reunion, like the moon. There are many different fillings in mooncakes, but my personal favorite is red bean.
This festival is based on the Chinese legend about Chang’e. She becomes immortal and lives on the moon, so we worship the moon. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the peak era in which this became a major traditional festival in China, the moon was admired and worshipped. According to the "Zhengde Jiangning County Chronicles," Families come together to watch and admire the moon, which is called, “Celebrating Reunion.” People sitting and drinking together is called, “Full Moon,” and going out to the city is called, “Walking Moon.” Lanterns are also used in celebration.
This festival also celebrates the autumn harvest and worship the land gods. According to the lunar calendar, August is the second month of Autumn, which explains why this is the Mid-Autumn festival. This festival is a time to celebrate the autumn harvest, when the crops have ripened and are ready to eat.
This is comparable to Thanksgiving in that we give thanks to the harvest, and that food unites people together. Junior Kiera Lee said, "The Mid Autumn Festival is a chance to catch up with family amidst our busy lives. We get to chat, eat moon cakes, view the moon- it’s a great time in general!”

The Legend of Mid-Autumn Festival: Chang'e Flying to the Moon.

There are many versions of this tale. This is the version that I grew up learning.
Ten suns in the sky, making life unbearably hot. By request of the emperor, the great archer, Hou Yi, shot down 9 suns leaving 1. He was rewarded with two elixirs of immortality. Hou Yi was reluctant to consume it, so he gave them to his beautiful wife, Chang’e, for safekeeping. However, Hou Yi’s apprentice, Peng Meng, coveted the immortal medicine and planned to steal it. One day, while Hou Yi was out hunting, Peng Meng went to Chang’e to force the elixir out of her hand. Chang’e consumed both of the elixirs so that the apprentice could not have it. She became immortal and ascended into the skies, taking the moon as her home, so that she could be close to her husband.

SHE BECAME IMMORTAL AND ASCENDED INTO THE SKIES, TAKING THE MOON AS HER HOME...
