The Christmas Day Hunt Short Story
The Author Borden Deal wrote the story the Christmas Day hunt and I think the theme is things are usually not as bad as you think they are.My first reason I think that is because when he shot the dog he thought his parents were going to be really mad at him.Then on Christmas Day he was feeling really bad about his self and he was bummed that he probably would not get the bike he wanted.So when he was opening his present, he was mad because he did not get the gifts he wanted. Then he peeked out the window and saw all the hunters coming in from the hunt and he saw him dad wave him over there.So he slowly walked over there not knowing what his dad was going to say.Then his dad had him opening a little box,and guesse what was in there a little

    Summary Of 'Being A Stranger At Someone Else's Thanksgiving' By Erik Larson

Burnham considered himself incompetent, especially since he was not able to get into Harvard or Yale and these men were able to go to these schools or schools like them. Compared to these highly trained architects, Burnham felt as if he did not belong there. Furthermore, by comparing this occasion with “being a stranger at someone else’s Thanksgiving,” Larson’s readers can comprehend how little and unwelcome Burnham was feeling sitting next to professional architects with a high level of education. By using this simile, Larson is able to describe how Burnham felt during this dinner.…

    Hunter Safety By Jeffrey Johnson Summary

    I believe that the theme/lesson of the story is that wanting something is different than needing something, because the boy wanted a kill but then he did not need the kill unless his family did not have food then he would need that kill. I believe that another theme of the story could be that when you really need something and you don't get it than don't go and blame it on someone else.…

    A Christmas Carol - Food and Shopping

    In the Victorian times, many working people suffered from malnutrition from not having certain foods and vitamins. Where money is scarce, many would have to survive on whatever they can get their hands on. Food was a central part of the Christmas celebrations in the Victorian ages, and was traditionally shared and enjoyed, even though it was scarce. Many of today’s Christmas traditions date back to the Victorian era, including having a turkey for Christmas dinner, and the relationship between eating mince pies at Christmas time. In A Christmas Carol, food is presented from many different ways: whilst the Cratchit Family and Old Fezziwig ‘treasure’ the food and enjoy it between the family, Scrooge does not eat for pleasure but for nutrition.…
