Setting: Takes place in an orphanage of the streets of Chicago 1932 (The Great Depression)
Characters:
Mrs. Fennis- The owner of the orphan
Kendra- The caretaker of the orphans
Patrick- One of the orphans
Sophie- One of the orphans
(The first scene takes place in their shared, very old room in the orphanage. A bunk bed is on stage left with one dresser on stage right and a small wooden desk to the right of the dresser. Both Patrick and Sophie are laying in bed.)
Patrick: (Towards Sophie in a sad and troubled matter) Will we ever have a normal holiday? One filled of laughs and joy, the fire going in the family room bringing warmth and comfort. All awhile a feast is being made to tingle our taste buds. Oh! And of course don’t forget! One with the biggest

Patrick: That's it we will make a bet If no one comes around this holiday I will do half of your chores everyday until summer!
Sophie: (yelling) Deal! I can’t wait to see…
Kendra: (knocks and opens the door slowly) You two better keep it down before Mrs. Fennis hears you. I don't want to see my little squirrels fall off a tree again, if you know what I mean. I have some extra bread I found stored in the cupboard for you two.
Sophie: Oh thank you kendra! We are starving, as you know! We will keep it down.
Patrick: Yeah! You are the best!
Kendra: (Speaking very softly) I wish I could feed you more, Mrs. Fennis has her strict policies though. Tomorrow I’ll try and fish up some cold milk and fruit. Im sure you are sick of those potatoes!
Patrick: You could say that again! This whole week has been potatoes, potatoes, potatoes! Thank you!
Kendra: It's best you go to sleep now, as early as you have to get up. Dream of candy land and adventures!
Sophie: Yes you're right! I’m on trash duty! Good night Patrick and Kendra!
Patrick: Good night!
Kendra: (Shuts lights off and closes door
“Uh hey are you hungry?” you ask, “We could go get some food.” Feferi’s face immediately goes back to her super ecstatic happy face when food is mentioned and she nods her
"Boys, I've brought you some sandwiches." Mrs. Hudson comes into the sitting room as cheerful as ever, carrying a tray of watercress.
“Actually, Grandfather said that no one was having Christmas today.” At Sarah’s blank stare she elaborated. “Grandfather said that no one was happy and that we couldn’t have Christmas until everyone was happy and at home… including Little Sparrow.”
Thanksgiving is more than just a day off or a break from school, it’s more than just a holiday. It’s more than just stuffing your face with mash potatoes and turkey. It's a time to fellowship and give thanks. This year has brought about multiple challenges, but we have stayed faithful and strong as a family. There is nothing more powerful than our family. God has blessed me with such a solicitous family.
They smiled, “I’m Katy, my plot of vegetables are over there, help yourself to them!
"Right. We're having chicken and rice. Simple but it always has been a favorite of yours, Maxie hasn't it?" his mother said warmly.
Heather exclaimed with great annoyance, “I’m even starting to get hungry, it has been a century since Lacie left to go pick up the food. I need my belly filled
DAISY: You think so? It’s true that the tastes are exquisite, but I rarely find myself full. I suppose my diet might be misaligned towards your’s.
"Umm.... Sure, Darry, thanks," Ponyboy mumbled, but the thought of food made his stomach churn. He knew, though, that Darry wouldn't let him off without eating.
Dan wrote a reminder for everyone celebrating Thanksgiving holiday. “So please…..as you look around the table this Thanksgiving be thankful not so much for the things in your life but for the people. And tell them how thankful you are for them because life is short and you never know who will be sitting with you at that table next
I got up at ten in the morning and was totally ready for a big meal. In order to eat as much as I could that night, I even skipped and ignored the breakfast. Walking downstairs, Patrick, my host mother’s boyfriend, was already there sitting on the couch and watching TV. Wearing a gray shirt and a pair of black pants, he looks like a kindly uncle who you would like to talk with. Also, he has a comforting presence. Especially with his glasses on, he looks even more knowledgeable. That’s why hearing that he is a principal did not surprise my housemate and me. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was live streamed on TV. However, my host mother could not watch it because she was still busy in the kitchen fixing dinner for us. She really wanted me and my housemate to have a good impression on Thanksgiving
Lauren: I had some right outside the door; I’m going to go call my parents to let them know we have made it.
Giggles: Will you calm down I know what I’m doing. We’re just going to walk in, light the place on fire and leave.
CORA: Yeah, I am but right now I’m more excited about getting to eat my post-birthday breakfast! It is my last one here you know.
Nodding Rachel looked around at her people and to try and get their spirits up she said “there are a few restaurants around here. Go get some food in you. You all deserve it.”
