In recent years Frisbees, plastic cups, and even doubloons all marked with the specific parade Krewes name and logo have been thrown to thousands of Mardi Gras goers. Though one of the more unique and sought-after throws, among Mardi Gras aficionados, is distributed by the Zulu Aid & Pleasure club, which distributes hand-painted coconuts. In recent years the Zulus have needed to pass out the coconuts in bags, rather than throwing them due to safety concerns as they weigh about 11 lbs.

My family either watches a football game or play football in the yard. Families usually play a game on a game system; in my case, it would be an Xbox 360 Kinect. My family on Thanksgiving makes so much food that could last a week or two and still be fresh. When my brothers and I put butter on the turkey and season it all over, it does smell good, but it smells better when the turkey is in the oven.

sElcidana Camacho ENG101 February 9, 2012 “The I and The We Inside Of Me” Traditions are part of the culture of a nation and its people’s identification. An important tradition in the United States is the celebration of Thanksgiving. This event occurs on the last Thursday of November, and it is the day when people travel from different parts of the country leaving behind for one day the individual “I” to enjoy an invaluable “we”. The police, the nurse, the teacher and the delinquent will stop their professional occupations to join Grandma in the kitchen to stuff a huge turkey and the rest of the meal. During the celebration, the family will tell (as every year) the same stories about the family; laughers, mockeries, craziness and caring are all part of the celebration passing this legacy to the next generation.
Pedro Rivera Puig March 19, 2012 Engl. 3229 Prof. Perez Osorio “The dragon can't dance” & Carnival The tradition of carnival was introduced to Trinidad around 1785, as the French settlers began to arrive.

Culture, for individuals in most societies, is defined as the mixture of views, values and personal goals that characterize a group, or a nation, in a specific time frame.
Name: Akila Mc Eachnie Course Code: CARN 1701 Course Name: Carnival and Society Lecturer: Dr. Ann Lee and Team Date: 17th November, 2011 Topic: Carnival and Race: The Authorship of Calypso The Authorship of Calypso Trinidad Carnival is proclaimed to be the “greatest show on earth” by many, locally and abroad. This show emerged as a result of the merging of cultural practices, symbols and traditions of the different races that occupied the land from colonization to pre-emancipation to post emancipation. Race is a controversial term with regards to its definition. Race in the context of this essay will be considered from a “colonial” viewpoint. Therefore race here is “assumed to be biological, fixed, or immutable(primordial) so that any attempt to treat it as a social construction is resisted vigorously by those who have a great deal of emotion invested in notions of racial purity and associated concepts of cultural superiority” (Allahar, 1996).
A. Zulu: In this cultural research I will be discussing the Zulu culture. This culture interests me because I am from New Orleans and during Mardi Gras session we always have a parade based on Zulu. Since I grew up watching the parades enjoying the entertainment of the people dressed in the costumes but never knowing what the Zulu culture was about, the information gathered would help me to have a better understanding of their culture. In this research we will gain knowledge about emerging agriculture and industries how they contribute and what role they play in it. Learning about the Zulu culture will help to understand how situations are handled when people are ill and what they do to make them better.
