Thanksgiving Break Research Paper
Over Thanksgiving break, my family and me went over to Ohio to see Grandma, Aunt Barb, and Uncle Dan. The drive over took around 9 hours (8 on the road and 1 hour of breaks for food). The drive back however took us around 11 hours (10 on the road and 1 hour of food breaks). The food we consumed that Grandma and Aunt barb made was the best. From what I remember, they had made; turkey, homemade cranberry sauce, blueberry and lemon muffins, bread slices, ham, and coleslaw. The desserts that were made by Mom, Grandma and Aunt Barb were also the best. My mom had made pumpkin pie and apple pie all from scratch. Aunt Barb had made cookies and bars. I had tried one of the bars she had baked and immediately, I knew that they were the best I had ever

    1). In the majority of species, a small yet motile sperm fertilizes a much larger but also immobile egg to create a zygote. This zygote must then undergo cleavage. In humans, cleavage occurs about 24 hours after the forming of a zygote. Cleavage is a succession of mitotic cell divisions without cell growth between division cycles. There is close to no cell growth because during cleavage, the embryonic cells undergo the S and M phases of the cell cycle but practically avoid the G1 and G2 phases. Thus, the embryo does not increase in cytoplasmic material or enlarge but merely partitions its zygote into smaller blastomeres. The first five to seven divisions produce a…

    On St. Patrick’s Day I had the pleasure of volunteering in a first grade class at my former elementary school. Each time I go back to the school, it brings back memories that I have not thought of in many years. Elementary school seems like a lifetime ago for me. But, because I had so many good experiences there, I love being able to be a part of the memories that kids today will always have. For example, holidays were always some of the best memories of my time at Lanigan because the teachers always went to such great lengths to make it an enjoyable time for everyone. So, on St. Patrick’s Day naturally almost every kid was wearing green. Some had on green and gold beads, some had green glasses, and one girl even had a pouch of “gold coins”.…

    Well, if I have to select between Thanksgiving and Christmas as my favorite festival, I will definitely choose Thanksgiving over Christmas, because we can eat turkeys and pumpkin pie in that time. I enjoy turkeys; however, it is equally important to maintain the health and stay far away from any health issues. Everyone loves Thanksgiving and everyone enjoys eating, we love to eat with our friends and family. However, people from any background and situations celebrate it in their own way; for example, a vegan may demand Asparagus salad, whereas a foodie may desire sugary spice pecans. What my point is, despite having various choices of food, health should be the utmost priority.…

    I spent some time thinking of some meaningful places to me but the one that stands out the most is a table. Its not an ordinary table but rather yet a very long picnic table, one that could hold about forty people. During the summer months this table is filled with some of the most interesting and friendly people I have ever been around. For the past three years I have worked for a whitewater rafting company on one of the more challenging rivers in the Southeast. Our home base is what we call the “outpost”, its where we eat, sleep, shower, and live our lives in what some people might call a barbaric way of life. The outpost consists of about forty or so river guides that take people down challenging class four and five whitewater during the day and then come home for an evening of events at night. At the outpost we have one raft guide that has decided to lay down their paddle in order to supply the community with delicious food every night at 6. Tired from paddling on the river all day, river guides are relaxing but mostly hungry. Some are lying down in what we call “bungalows” it’s an extravagant way of describing the home…

    What is the first thing that goes though your mind when you hear the words Memorial Day? What does it mean to you? What symbolization does it hold in you? Ladies and gentlemen, sadly enough, the true meaning of Memorial Day has been seemingly lost by the majority of Americans today. Many confuse this day for Veterans Day or even Armed Forces Day. Although it is highly appropriate to honor all our veterans, living and dead, and to recognize their immeasurable contributions to our country, this is not the true meaning of Memorial Day. When I asked you what the day means to you…what is symbolized to you, what went through you mind? Did you simply think of it as another federal holiday? A 3-day weekend? The beginning of the 100 days of Summer…a BBQ? Or did you think of a mother…

    Thanksgiving is considered by many as being the worse meal of the year. Why? Because of the extreme overload of high-starch carbs that trigger blood sugar spikes for so many people. Just think of it. Pumpkin pie with a scoop or two of ice cream, corn bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, sugar-laden cranberry sauce and green bean casserole, that's why.…

    For most people, enjoying turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin for Thanksgiving are as traditional and American as, well, apple pie. But how did the Pilgrims really celebrate on what we now regard as the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1621? Is our celebration and traditional menu truly akin to that enjoyed by the Pilgrims and their Wampanoag Indian guests?…

    Thanksgiving, one of the most joyful times of the year- unless you're a turkey. You see, this whole Thanksgiving thing started about four hundred years ago. In that time, more than 18000 million of my closest relatives have been murdered. I would escape but i'm a domestic turkey, so i can't fly. I were a wild turkey, i would waddle away from this place, after all, a am the biggest turkey in the pen. Many of the young fryers in my pen don’t know their fate, but I do. How does one of the most highly respected animals in the animal kingdom fall this low, I mean, we were almost the national symbol of the United States of America and now, we are being ripped apart, pulverized, and eaten by our own people. Us turkeys have to watch out for our own, it's a dangerous world out there.…

    It was the last Thanksgiving that my grandparents were there for. How could we ever expect them to be, they slept in small cases underneath the grass. Nonetheless it was merry, still filled with so much “family” that I had never met and I still flinched at the words, “do you remember me?” that parted from unrecognized lips. There was Aunt Helen’s famous apple pie, and the six turkeys, and the dogs running around in the backyard.…
