What happens to the lanterns at the end of the festival?
A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan. This festival is a cheerful occasion, for on this day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed by the living. As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out for them. Specially-made lanterns are hung outside each house to help the dead to find their way. All night long, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food that had been laid out for the dead is thrown into a river or into the sea as it is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it. In towns that are near the sea, the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before, are placed into the water when the festival is over. Thousands of lanterns slowly drift out to sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world. This is a moving spectacle, for crowds of people stand on the shore watching the lanterns drifting away until they can be seen no more. 三．課文講解： ★ A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan. 日本每年过一次“亡灵节”。

So I chose freedom Running around Trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to

And as for fortune And as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed to the world They were all I desired
They are illusions They’re not the solutions They promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me Don’t cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don’t keep your distance Have I said too much ？
There’s noting more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is Look at me to know That every word is true
