“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…

The Grants Pass Family Y.M.C.A.: I worked here for 3 1/2 years. I not only survellienced the pool water but helped those in need by assisting them from getting in and out of the pool as well if they needed any help walking to the bathrooom etc. For special events, I watched physically and mentally disabled, patrons to help them remain safe within a designated area. Otherwise, on a regular day basis I watched people of all ages and educated them on pool safety. During my time there I had many interactions with all age groups and learned social skills from from daily communications with patrons, advisors, and other employees. The most vital thing was the other lifeguards and I worked as a team to better the lives around us.…
The beginning of the book The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis was difficult to understand and hard to figure out, but as you read on, you come to find out that this book is about heaven and hell and the people that go there. The narrator who is the main character in the book tells the story on what he sees from his eyes. The author describes hell as a dark cold town with alleys that people live in and no one to be seen on the streets, and heaven as this place that looks beautiful with green grass, mountains, rivers, and animals running around. C.S. Lewis uses different characters throughout the book to help understand the scene and the situations that are going on. The ghosts that go with him to heaven from hell are all different and play a big…
This is the first time I was in American and also I lived alone. Due to that, lacking of caring from parents is obvious. Fortunately, I met and stayed in your family at Christmas Break. Thanks to your family’s niceness, I am not homesick anymore. Christmas and New Year are the best time to gather all member in your family together, so thank you for sharing that most wonderful time to me. Although New Year Day in United States was passed, Lunar New Year in Vietnam is coming. Moreover, Lunar New Year is the most perfect time to say “thank you”. I believe 2016 will bring you the warmth of love and fulfill all your wishes.…
My Thanksgiving break was pretty good. On Thanksgiving, I went to Indiana to my cousins' house. It was a two-hour drive, so it wasn't that long. All of my cousins are older than me- literally, all of my cousins even from I don't know where. The only people younger than me are my siblings so I'm not the youngest of ALL the people. Anyways, we had eaten all of the thanksgiving things you can possibly eat. I loved thanksgiving this year and I can't wait next year.…

Once upon a time I lived a semi normal life. The last day I lived that life was Thanksgiving of 2002. The people that made up my semi normal life was Papa, Nannie, Mom, Aunt Jodi, and me.

My family environment has influenced me a lot especially when my siblings were born. I am the oldest out of five, so I'm always look up to. I always had to make a good example and never show that I was scared. When my mom and stepdad had to work, I would take care of them until they came back while getting my schoolwork and practicing my instrument done too. I never really had a chance to be a kid, I always had to be a mother to my siblings. I would always wish for more time in the day for myself, Although watching them grow up from when they were small and started school for the first time made up for that loss time. I live up to a quote, "Be the master of your future, not the slave of your problems." My senior year I had to stop being…
Grandma Calls out “Dinners ready” and before you know it the dinner table is engulfed with all my siblings and of course papa. We all sit eager as ever, anticipating thinking and imagining how good the turkey is going to be this year. Everyone’s engaged in one another, talking joking and laughing around the table. It’s about as good as any Thanksgiving dinner can get, but as soon as grandma cracks open the oven the aroma of the freshly seasoned and cooked turkey floods the kitchen. It’s as silent as the nights whistle. She brings the comestible around with the help of Uncle Richard, as grandma is getting far too fragile and weak to do anything on her own anymore. We as family agreed her cooking skills are far too superior a thing to allow to go to waste. So whenever the opportunity arises, one of us is always helping grandma. Uncle Richard proceeds to slice the turkey ever so graciously making everyone at table froth at the…
Erik Larson uses this simile to communicate to his readers how awkward Burnham felt during this occasion. 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.…
