There Are Some Interesting Facts About Thanksgiving

One thing that is similar to my thanksgiving that some people also have is the food.

In an article by Pleck (2011) it was claimed that the pilgrims did not have ruffled shirts, buckled shoes nor did they consume on turkey at the harvest feast that occurred in 1621. This may come as a shock to most because growing up we were taught to believe these along with other “facts” about the harvest feast that we come to know as the first thanksgiving. The pilgrims lost many of their people in the winter of 1620 due to lack of foraging knowledge. This led the colony to form a relationship with the Wampanoag tribe. They taught them how to fish as well as gather vegetables. This is thought to be common knowledge but as previously stated this may not be completely true after all. Pleck was not the only person to uncover the truth about the harvest feast of 1621. A director named Ellis (2010) made a documentary that confirms the feast

I, Turkey will be running for my life soon. Strange creatures will chase me with these turkey killers we call them. These creatures took my cousin and all his friends last year. He liked to play with the creatures, he would hide by a tree until they got close and he’d run in front of them. Last year he got caught though. This year i'm going to find a great place to hide far away from the turkey snatchers. Most of my friends run from them but i don't think that's very smart because the snatchers are really good at getting us.
