    “A Native American Thanksgiving”, written by Beverly Cox and Clara Sue Kidwell, is an informational article including recipes, all relating to Native American culture. They begin this piece by dating back to the earliest known facts of “Thanksgiving” between the Pilgrims and the Indians. Cox and Kidwell set out to show the reader the real meaning behind this holiday. Pointing out that Americans only give thanks once a year, they go in depth about the Native American’s beliefs of giving appreciations. Indians would give credit and acknowledgment to the spirits of nature throughout the year in hopes for generosity in upcoming hunting and planting seasons, considering farming was an important part of Indian life. This material allows Cox and Kidwell…

Thanksgiving is thought to be, historically, a time where the Pilgrims and Indians came together to give thanks for the great harvest.

    Due to the fact that I was not born in the United States, I didn’t learn American history; therefore, my knowledge about pilgrims is very limited. I know the basics about how Thanksgiving came to be. There was a Native American who helped teach the pilgrims to plant corn by using dead fish as fertilizer. His name was Squanto. The pilgrims and the natives came together and feasted on turkey. Thanksgiving became a holiday and turkey became the main dish.…

    Most eat the “Traditional Thanksgiving food.” One example is turkey and mashed potatoes, those are my personal favorite Thanksgiving food. We also get together with our big family, for us all of my Uncle and Aunt’s come and with all of them and all my cousins it can get overwhelming, but it’s always fun. I noticed how the Avila’s were making Tamales and I actually smirked because that’s what most Hispanic families do they bring in their culture and mix it in with other cultures. I like how some people don’t care about being different.…

    Every Thanksgiving, my family gets up early to drive down to New York, where we meet with aunts, uncles, cousins, and my Grandmother. Over the course of the day, delicious smells materialize as heaping mashed potatoes, green beans sautéed with onions and turkey bacon, and sweet potato casserole topped with bubbling marshmallow join the turkey on the serving table as I breathlessly await the early dinner.…

    Personally, I’m going to have to say no. The painting does a very horrendous job at depicting the relationship between the Wampanoag Indians and the Pilgrims during the First Thanksgiving. The painting is very simplistic. In other words, it fails to recognize the crucial details of what actually led up to the First Thanksgiving, and what occurred afterward as a result of the Peace treaty between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians. There’s a lot more to the story of Thanksgiving. The painting only focuses on a very small piece of the whole ordeal and fails to capture the big picture of it all.…

    But how come we eat turkey and nott some other piece of meat on Thanksgiving day? There is really no significant reason on how it became what it is today, but tradition has to do with it. Ever since 1621, it was consumed because it was a unique and just a delicious bird. There are also other side dishes that are traditions for Thanksgiving, like pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie is a more modern food that wasn't ate back at the first Thanksgiving. But according to Organicauthority.com, the squash dates back 9,000 years to Mexico which they roasted or boiled food. Green bean casserole could be dated back to the 50s, which was invented by the company Campbell's. We also can't forget about that delicious stuffing; it has been eaten since the Romans and even before them. All of these delicious foods that we eat on Thanksgiving help make the holiday more special and more unique than each other…

    Thanksgiving is the one holiday in which the meal takes six weeks to plan, three days to cook and five minutes and 30 seconds to eat so everyone can watch 10-hours of football. Contrary to popular wisdom, the sole purpose of the holiday is not giving thanks and togetherness. It is about football, and pie.…

    My mother and father come from large families, each have about ten brothers and sisters, so I would say I have about twenty aunts and uncles combined and a handful of cousins. Unfortunately, not all my relatives live here in the U.S but the ones who do live here, reside within a short distance from us and we always come together for the holidays to celebrate them as a family. However, Thanksgiving in the Montiel household is different; we don’t cook the traditional turkey or ham we feast on tamales and molé and give thanks for all the wonderful things god has blessed us…

    In the stories, “The Lie,” by Kurt Vonnegut and “Barn Burning,” by William Faulkner, the main characters mature from childhood into adulthood. This maturity either develops from support of one’s family and upbringing or it grows internally from one’s conscience. We see from both stories that the main characters use this maturity to courageously speak up.…
