Thanksgiving Dinner Narrative

And how twisted was the world, that his victim would forgive him before he forgave himself? That after he’d raped her, he was the one crying, it was him needing her comfort? She was always like this… this frightening mix of strength and vulnerability, both built upon suffering he, back then, could never even fathom. Now though… now he was beginning to understand what made her like

It was interesting reading you essay about your take on Thanksgiving. I enjoyed how you incorporated some history about Thanksgiving in your essay. I feel that taking a moment to remember why we have Thanksgiving, and to appreciate the history is significant. “Description may be defined as the act of capturing people, places, events, objects, and feelings in words so that a reader (or listener) can visualize and respond to them.” "(K. Flachmann M. Flachmann). I feel as though you accomplished the task by combining history with personal experiences to capture the reader and maintain their attention throughout the description of Thanksgiving. I did have a picture of all the food in my head and I felt that I could almost smell the food being prepared

In Another Thanksgiving Dinner the author conveys how Hannah’s relationship changes with her father throughout the story by using the character’s feelings and actions.

Do you ever think about why we celebrate Thansgiving or why we are thankful for different things? Thanksgiving is a national holiday, celebrated by Canadians, the United States, and some of the Caribbean Islands. Thanksgiving was first ever celebrated in October of 1621 by the pilgrims, this feast lasted about 3 days. Thnaksgiving is a great time to recognize and be thankful for what we have.

The whole 405 crew was meeting up with some guys from Texas. Everyone decided to bring something to eat as it was thanksgiving. Everybody brought their families and the cooking began. While they waited for the meal to be done they raced. Things got a little bit heated in the races but it was all okay.

I watch in horror, of the act I’ve committed. My dear friend falls, as my blade pulls out of her body, blood gushes out like a waterfall, she collapses to the ground, her face express’ the overwhelming terror that had befallen her. She covers her wound in a failed attempted to stop the bleeding. the blood manages to surpass her hand and begins to travel downward. she lifts her hand, realizing it was hopeless to think she’d live, as she looked upon her shaking hand, that had turned the color of crimson.

To the right of the man stood the girl, her hazel eyes creased and her blonde brow furrowed, looking at Bram as if he had every right to die. As if they had every right to cut him up and serve him on a platter. He exhaled quickly, his eyes darting back and forth between the man and girl with an animalistic urge to make them feel the helplessness he always felt. The sense of worthlessness. The self-hatred and contempt that had held him close ever since his mother left him in that orphanage. The want to be more than he was. To escape the cage he was born into. The fear of being less than he could be. Of not getting what he’d

In the center stood a pale, grief-stricken boy. No taller than my waist, he couldn’t have been any older than my little boy at home. Clothed in a tattered shirt, small whimpers came from his parched lips as I took a few steps closer to him. Small pools of blood had collected in the palm of his hands as he held a needle and ragged thread. To the left of his scarred feet lay a small, frail doll. It was falling apart at the

My toes touched behind me, pinned to the floor by my own weight. Grating the wooden structure, my knees bled into the cracks of the church. Be one with it, Sister Jacklyn said. I heard her now, above my head. The crack of her walking stick, the rattle of her bones, I heard her whisper my name, “Bobby.” I tightened my hands together in front of me, and bowed my head farther until my neck stretched its last fiber. An abyss of darkness. A cross of blood.

I let the darkness overcome me as I stood there, waiting for my fears to subside. "Ma'am?" The voice echoed in my head a thousand times over. "Uh, ma'am?" I felt a hand touch my shoulder and opened my eyes. "Ma'am, are you sure you want to go through with this?" I pondered over the thought of possibly putting my sister's husband in jail. But I needed this, for me. I didn't need his abuse towards me any longer. It was then that I realized how much I needed to be safe, away from the darkness named Greg.

My mother then proceeded to tell me her version of what had happened. I realized then that the person who talked to her wasn’t a selfless person willing to rescue me; he was a man who promised to never let me see light again unless my mother gave him what he asked for. She never went into too much detail, because I knew she was afraid of remembering, afraid of going back to that painful moment where she feared for the safety of her children. That night I laid in bed, and thoughts of guilt consumed me. The only person at fault had been me, I had been the person who left the house and took my brother, I was the person who took the cab and went to the mall, and I had been the one that gave that man all of my personal

There was so much blood, but I knew my main focus was to keep him awake. He kept saying, “Mommy can we go inside? I want to go to sleep”, “No baby we have to wait out here for the ambulance. They have to take you to the hospital”, I replied. I started asking him questions about the party, trying to keep him engaged and awake. My eyes ran over his body. He had been dragged twenty-eight feet on the pavement. The right side of his torso was covered in road rash. Pebbles were imbedded in his armpit. The left side of his scalp had been peeled back to the back of his head, exposing his skull exposed. I started to ask questions about what happened. One of the parents explained that an eleven year old and twelve year old were driving the golf cart. When the child hit Kody, instead of stopping he accelerated. Kody’s body folded and he was dragged down the street. One of the fathers were finally able to get the boy to stop and that’s when the other fathers came to pick the golf cart

"I told you. I'm done. What you did to me, what you said to me, it's unforgivable to me. I'm sorry Alex. I still wish you the best." She put her bag over her shoulder and took one glance at me and walked off. I expected nothing more, and nothing less. Walking out of the school, I pulled out a cigarette and slumped against a lone tree. The smoke filled me with some relief, and I stared out to the sun hidden behind the clouds. There was a sound of low crying that caught my attention. Looking around, my gaze fixated on a girl with jet black hair that fell against her face as she sobbed into her hands. She was sitting against a tree a few feet

Today is the morning before Thanksgiving. The golden sun is just peeking above the green evergreen trees. A little turkey poked her head out of a hole in the brown bushes. Her name is Tiny. Tiny the turkey. She breathed in the fresh Autumn air. Then, poked her head back in the small hole leading into her house. Inside her house there was a big open space filled with food that they have been storing all summer long for the cold, cold winter. Tiny walked to the corner that her parents sleep in. They were still asleep. Tiny sighed and went outside again, this time stayed out there a little longer. By now the sun had emerged completely. It was a crisp golden brown color. Then, Tiny heard something rustling in the leaves. Tiny whirled around! Then, she saw that her parents were finally awake! She ran toward them yelling, “ Mama, Papa!” But her parents were not as happy to see her as she was to see them. They said, “ Tiny! Have you forgotten what day it is today? It is when the hunters come to kill animals like us! You have to be quiet!” Tiny started to walk outside again. “ Tiny!” Her mom said.

Once at the bottom of the stairs I could not believe my eyes. Mom and Dad were on the ground. Blood spilled out of wounds that were covered by clothing, their eyes dull and lifeless. Mom’s hand was outstretched to Dad, like she’d been trying to say goodbye one last time.
