Who participates? Where does it take place?
How is this festival celebrated? (What does it look and feel like to be there among the participants?)
Why did this celebration get your attention and would you like to participate in it? Why?
Think about a celebration or holiday you celebrate here in the US and compare and contrast how and why your celebration is similar and/or different than the celebration you are presenting.
