    The Importance Of Thanksgiving In American Culture

    Thanksgiving, a holiday deeply rooted in American culture, is celebrated in accordance with the applicable tradition and rituals. Closely related to the tradition of first immigrants, Thanksgiving does not undergo any fashions and fluctuations. Thanksgiving Turkey has to be big ( 19 lbs) to feed 20 people and to provide much more food than during the regular meal (Friends). Thanksgiving dinner without turkey and typical dishes does not exist, like “4th July with no pie”(Friends). By consuming and celebrating food, people show their appreciation for all they achieved due to their social and national affiliation.…

    Mayflower By Nathaniel Philbrick: Chapter Summary

    In Nathaniel Philbrick’s narrative Mayflower, he tells the story of the struggle and hardships of a group of people who cross the ocean to find personal and religious freedom in a new land. These people are the Pilgrims, but they are much different from the stereotypical pilgrims that we think of today. Philbrick tells the story of the Pilgrims struggle to survive in their first few months, their first meetings with and the rise and eventual fall of the alliance between the Native Americans and the Pilgrims. I found the book to be very interesting when I read it, and though it was boring or slow at times, it provided a great deal of intriguing information that I never knew before about the story of the Pilgrims and their long, treacherous…

    Nathaniel Shilbrick The Mayflower Analysis

    The name Mayflower often evokes images of 'wide-brimmed hats', 'buckled shoes', and a shared harvest meal. Nathaniel Philbrick's story of the Mayflower, however,goes far beyond the myth of the first Thanksgiving, exploring the complicated politics that came to dominate a world created when the arrival of English dissidents challenged the balance of power among Native American peoples. While the central focus of Philbrick's work is the relationship between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people, his narrative details how this partnership fundamentally altered the entire region. From the first, the Pilgrim settlers and the Wampanoag people found themselves engaged in a mutually beneficial, if somewhat unstable, relationship. For the Pilgrims,…

Although not all Native American tribes endured the same hardships, the notion of displacement is a commonality.…
