Narrative Of Thanksgiving

408 Words2 Pages

I, Shaq the Turkey, hate Thanksgiving. I was born on March 28th 2010. My parents were killed in October to be eaten for Thanksgiving in November. I, however, was taken to a Turkey Camp. All of the newborn Turkeys went to Camps when they were born. We were all taken here so we could get taken care of and we would get fed. Most Turkeys thought it was nice of people, but that wasn’t the real truth. We were taken care of and fed so that we would become big Turkeys and then we would be killed as well. They would use all of us for Thanksgiving. They did feed us nice food though. We were fed corn and soybeans to bulk us up. They have a lot of vitamins and minerals. At about 4 years, they would send us to another farm. Humans would

  • Thanksgiving Safran Foer

    However, is that really true? Safran Foer explains that turkey wasn’t part of Thanksgiving festivities “until the nineteenth century”, as well as other foods associated with the holiday, such as cranberries and corn (250). No one can’t say that they’re eating turkey because of tradition if it wasn’t eaten until two centuries after Thanksgiving. If Americans want to use this reasoning, they should be eating bean soup, which is believed to be served at the actual first Thanksgiving in the late 1500s (Safran Foer 250). Furthermore, even if turkeys were eaten at the first Thanksgiving, despite not becoming a tradition for 200 years, the turkeys eaten then were nothing like the turkeys we eat now.

It was just a stupid bird, how long was it supposed to thaw and cook? Apparently, after doing last-minute research, it was supposed to take 24 hours for it to thaw for every 4-5 pounds it weighed. And the sucker I got weighed around 20 pounds.

    Thanksgiving Myths Did the first official thanksgiving take place near Plymouth Rock in 1621? This is the myth that I chose for this paragraph. Well, I think the English colonists we call Pilgrims celebrated days of thanksgiving as parts of their religion, but these were days of prayer, not days of feasting. The original feast in 1621 occurred sometime between September 21 and November 11. Unlike our modern holiday, it was three days long.

Thanksgiving was the first time the pilgrims and Native Americans set aside their differences and feasted together. Not everybody knows what happens a couple of hours later after the meal. Everyone was friendly until the pilgrims burned as many native Americans' houses and land as they could while the Native Americans were distracted and rejoicing. The Native Americans were caught so off guard they had no time to react.
