The Pathman Lewis Annual Thanksgiving Potluck Luncheon will be held on Thursday, November 16th at 12PM. I’ve added this event to everyone’s respective calendar.

The article that I chose was about preparing children with autism for the hustleand bustle of Thanksgiving at home with visitors or as the visitor. The best thing that any parent of a child with autism can do to prepare for turkey day is to practice. Rudy suggests that parents have their children practiceeverything from sitting at the table, trying some turkey day foods, and speaking to relatives. However, speaking torelativesnotonly takes practice from the child, but practice from the relative. It is important that the visiting relatives or the realtives that will be visitied be made aware of the autistice child. According to Rudy, relatives should be aware of the childs special needs and behaviors, and even have foods that the child likes available. Relatives should also b emade aware of the growth the child has made. Another way to help an autistic child deal with turkey day is make a picture book that will show them how the day will go and there should be no surprises. If the child is prone to tantrums, then it might be best to designate one parent to deal with tantrums and even drive in separae carsin case the chid needs to leave earlier than planned.

The next night the family heard a *BANG* in the kitchen when they checked to see who or what it was, it was the turkey. So they got more and more suspicious that the turkey was evil. The following night the kid heard footsteps leading up to his room, when all of a sudden the door opens and the turkey appears, but when it sees that the kid saw him it runs away. In the morning the kid tells his dad what happened and the dad makes a hard decision, but he decides it is the best and makes a giant turkey

A day before Thanksgiving in 1971 a guy that called himself Dan Cooper boarded the NorthWest Airlines on flight 305. He was in a wearing a dark suit with a black business-like tie. While Dan was in the airplane he opened a brief case and showed the flight attendant a bomb. When the plane landed in Seattle, Dan demanded $200,000 in cash, four parachutes, and food for the crew. He let the passengers off the plane but left three pilots and a flight attendant on board. The crew in the airplane headed South of Seattle while it was dark and drizzling. 45 minutes after takeoff Dan sent the flight attendant to the cockpit while he was putting on the parachute. Dan also tied the money to himself and lowered the back stairs and somewhere in Portland

Summary: This is a picture book showing how one family celebrates Thanksgiving in Canada. The book follows Irene, her older brother Richard, and her parents as they travel to visit Irene’s grandparents for their Thanksgiving, which is celebrated on the 2nd Monday of October. The song at the end of the book was nice and would be better set to music.

If you're planning to renovate your home, you probably have several problems you want to solve to make your home more user-friendly. Although you may be focused on addressing the immediate needs and wants of everyone in your home, you should also plan your renovations with an eye for future needs.

As the holiday season is coming nearer each day, I found it appropriate to look further into the traditional Thanksgiving topic. I can only describe what my family does, my Puerto Rican and Caucasian family. As far as I can say, we are not necessarily traditional with our celebration of Thanksgiving. So I figured why not use this assignment as a way to further look into the holiday and how it is celebrated across America, this can mean anything from families celebrating it in their homes, to the retail shops of the country selling holiday/seasonal items to go along with the tradition. I would like to examine the traditions of thanksgiving.

When I imagine “The First Thanksgiving”, I think of peace and harmony. Then my History complex comes in, I remember all of the rape, cannibalism, and disease spreading that happened in the years before “The First Thanksgiving” ruin my picture perfect scene. The Pilgrims did not have a farming aspect when they came to The New Colony but with the help of the Native Americans they learned how to survive. When I was younger we always were taught that this time, in history, everyone got along and they were happy. The Pilgrims came to have religious freedom and not to be treated as second class citizens. This is a notable act but they had various pathogens that they were immuned to but the Natives were not. Historians say that the pathogens that

Thank you for your service! I admire your commitment to work full time and take college classes. I am a military brat and spent many years living on post. I have experienced not having a vehicle and walking to the exchange for both lunch and dinner. I also ate at the DFAC for many Thanksgiving Day dinners. Good luck this semester!

In “Uncle Sam’s Thanksgiving Dinner” and “America The Land of Opportunity”, both cartoons show different aspects of immigration. America was founded by immigrants. Our brave and heroic founding fathers set out to create a new nation. The founding fathers wanted to get away from the burdens in England and establish a new colony unlike any around. This nation would be free of unjust rule and any tyranny. They wanted citizens of the country to have rights that would never be taken away. We all came from Immigrants at some point in time. People left where they lived due to hardships and wanted best for their families. If Immigration didn't exist, America wouldn't exist.

Early one November morning a woman stared at me with utter disbelief, tears of gratitude streaming down her cheeks."Thank you," she mouthed silently to me, clutching her son to her chest. I was proud knowing that, because of my efforts, her family and many more who struggle with poverty would be able to share a Thanksgiving meal. I knew that many children in my community would not be able to celebrate the holiday as others might because their parents could not afford to buy food items, and so as Vice President of a community service club called Interact, I was inspired to provide these children with a Thanksgiving dinner. The club officers and I sat crowded around our adviser's desk brainstorming how we would collect ingredients. We decided

When the turkey made impact, the laughter of the jokester, my cousin Eric, became anger. His hand smashed into the mashed potatoes with gravy. For a single moment before the he opened his hand to let the blob of mashed potatoes and dripping gravy fly across the table. His hand opened and the blob flew and crashed into Josh’s face, my brother, who was sitting next to Carrie. He also became enraged and picked up his whole plate and jolted it forwards flinging all the food onto my cousins, both age 4, and me. The rest is a kind of blur and not just because soon after I had green bean casserole in my face. The next thing I remember is Michael, the cousin sitting next to me, untouched by all the food somehow, had a microscopic strip of turkey in his glass of Coke. “MOMMY!” He had screamed. The whole house felt as if it had been moved from the foundation because of the screech. Gam Gam, grandma, rushed into the room. Her jaw dropped through the floor as Eric and Josh bolted. Pa Paw, not far behind Gam Gam, snatched both of them. “Now who did this?” Gam Gam said as nicely as a woman who was ready to strangle someone could. The rest of the time we spend not playing soccer, football, or basketball, but cleaning and scrubbing the room that we never thought would loose its

Teachers have exposed students to different stories about the pilgrims. Textbooks picks one reason and presents them as facts. Different stories have been told for example the hijacking story, how the pilgrims adopted the Mayflower to avoid rebellion. The Pilgrims are described as a “pious and moral band who laid the antecedents of our democratic tradition.” (6- Loewen) They are also described as Christian, sober, democratic, generous to the Indians, God thanking. Apparently, these could not be true. Historians have chosen to omit the facts and not talk about the African slaves, Spanish and Indians. The Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts

Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks to your life and everyone and everything in it. Thanksgiving is thought of in different ways and is celebrated in unlike ways. Families have divergent meals, places that they visit on Thanksgiving, and activities that they enjoy taking part in on Thanksgiving. Overall, no matter what traditions there are, what meals you have, or the activities enjoyed on Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving is truly a wonderful holiday.
