Colten Barrett Comp II 9/5/2012 Dr. Smith Thanksgiving Dinner Thanksgiving is a holiday filled with feasting, joy, bonding and memories. My family along with millions of other American families every year, come together to celebrate everything that we have been grateful for throughout the year. We celebrate by feasting on some of our most savored dishes; some dishes happen to be a family tradition and are served at every Thanksgiving. Every year my family celebrates Thanksgiving at my grandma and grandpa’s house. By the time every one gets to Grandma’s house, the house is already filling up with fabulous smells of pie, meat, and other wonderful foods and to top it off the smell of fresh cut grass blowing in for the opened windows throughout the house.
Major Project: The Potlatch “The Potlatch” is a ceremonial feast or festival that is of utmost importance to the people of the Northwest Coast. It is where the people come together and engage in a sort of giving ceremony to either validate or advance individual tribal position or social status. These ceremonies can be compared to ceremonies in Western culture, such as the confirmation of an Italian-Canadian or Thanksgiving for an American family. Although, the ceremonies of “The Potlatch” demonstrate “the core Aboriginal value of generosity” ( Steckley 134), government agents and Christian missionaries from the West did not know what to make of them, during the 1860’s to 1880’s, as a result of there simulacrum of the potlatch the agents and the missionaries opposed the ceremonies and eventually banned them in 1884. When this happened in 1884 it caused a wave of ethnocentrism to pass through the northwest coast and caused the potlatch as we know it to become buried under and pile of western idealism.

Speech… The Rosh Hashanah Festival marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year, it is held on two days in September. It is a time of renewal and forgiveness of sins. The festival is followed by a ten day period in which God gives the Jewish people one last chance to make up for their sins and therefor have their name inscribed in the book. It is significant for individuals as Jews consider these two days as judgement days where God compares their good deeds to their bad deeds and decides what the coming year will be like for them. It is also a time for them to think about their priorities in life and reflect on their achievements from the past year.
The 50th day is Shavuot. Then we have a minor break. When fall begins to approach we have Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement) Rosh Hashanah (The Jewish New Year) and then Sukkot (or Feast of Booths or Tabernacles as some like to call it.)

My Thanksgiving ritual is of gathering together with family giving thanks, feasting on a great meal, having fun, and watching television shows.
