Thanksgiving's Last Week

Improved Essays
The best day last week must be Thursday due to the extreme amount of attention my favorite activities received. Although I constantly take part in my favorite activities, I never truly enjoy every second of them due to my tight schedule. Every day I rush home, eat quickly, isolate myself in order to complete my homework, then sleep and repeat my day all over again. During Thanksgiving break, my school schedule decided to take a vacation and left my social life to arise, allowing myself to enjoy the time to actually devour and savor my favorite foods thus allowing Thursday to be my favorite day. This year Thanksgiving fell on a Thursday and since no school work or extracurricular activity stood in the way, I enjoy every single edible object

    For many years, Native Americans have been viewed as “jokes” or “laughing stocks”. Believe it or not, we (Mainstream America) have helped contribute to the evolution of stereotypes and assumptions that there are about Native Americans. The terms people think are funny and harmless are, in actuality, very offensive to some Native Americans. For example, many Native Americans refer to the derogatory sayings and terms as “Indian Fakelore”. I’m sure you’re familiar with them.…

    I believe that our Thanksgiving menu is different because we have more access to different foods. In 1621, they didn't have the same access that we do now because technology has grown. People are evolving and so is our technology. We now have more resources to cook our foods with. Although we are celebrating the same thing, we do not have to copy the…

    In America they would gather to celebrate Thanksgiving and they will do so at the dinner table. The meal, with roots in the ancient traditions of harvest festivals and in the religious fervor of the Puritans who settled here, has grown into a secular feast of abundance. Whether taking place in Duluth, Minnesota or at the Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, the American tradition is to roast a turkey and eat it along with a slew of side dishes, all in the company of family and friends. So here’s the thing: while it is an iconic food, no one would argue that a roast turkey is the American national dish – turkey on multigrain for lunch aside. Plopping a turkey on an overladen table is reserved almost solely for this day.…

    My highlight of the week is the new album of Logic, The Incredible True Story. It was a big hit yesterday waiting for almost for 2 weeks. Another highlight was that last week my baby brother came out of the hospital since he was born as a premature baby. The low-light was that I had low internet, I had used up all the data usage on my phone and last night the songs of Logic were hard to hear, the song would play for a few seconds and stop. My night was hard yesterday I just hope one of my friends could let me hear all the new 18 songs that Logic released.…
