The end

Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons.

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious

tolerance, but they eventually became disenchanted with the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the company's interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on

December 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind.

However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potato was still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.

This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during a severe

drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain. When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradford proclaimed another day of Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. It wasn't until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day of Thanksgiving.The date was changed a couple of times. In 1941, Thanksgiving,the fourth Thursday in November, was finally chosen by Congress as a legal holiday.

1.When did you leave home for the first time?

2.Did you choose your university by yourself? Why or why not?

3.Do you feel you are regarded as an adult at home?

4.Why are young people so eager to move out of home?

5.Describe something special about the way you are raised in your family

Par.I Soon they will be together again, all the people who travel between their own lives and each other's. The package tour of the season will tempt them this week to the family table. By Thursday, feast day, family day, Thanksgiving day,Americans who value individualism like no other people will collect around a million tables in a ritual of belonging.

Par.II They will assemble their families the way they assemble dinner: each one bearing a

personality as different as cranberry sauce: and pumpkin pie. For one dinner they will cook for each other, fuss for each other, feed each other and argue with each other. They will nod at their common heritage, the craziness and caring of other generations. They will measure their common legacy-the children.

Par.III All these complex cells, these men and women, old and young, with different dreams and disappointments will give honour again to

the group they are a part of and apart from: their family. Families and individuals. The "we" and the ‘I'. As good Americans we all travel between these two ideals. We take value trips from the great American notion of individualism to the great American vision of family. We wear out our tires driving back and forth, using speed to shorten the distance between these two principles.

Par.IV There has always been some pavement

between a person and a family. From the first moment we recognize that we are separate we begin to struggle with aloneness and togetherness. Here and now these conflicts are especially sharp. We are, after all, raised in families ... to be individuals. This double message follows us through life. We are taught about the freedom of the ‘I' and the safety of the "we". The loneliness of the ‘I' and the intrusiveness of the "we". The selfishness of the "I" and the burdens of the "we".

Par.V We are taught what Andre Malraux3 said: "Without a family,man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold." And taught what he said another day: "The denial of the supreme importance of the mind's development accounts for many revolts against the family." In theory, the world rewards "the supreme importance" of the individual, the ego. We think alone, inside our heads. We write music and literature with an enlarged sense of self. We are graded and paid,

hired and fired, on our own merit. The rank of individualism is both exciting and cruel. Here is where the fittest survive.

Par.VI The family, on the other hand, at its best, works very differently. We don't have to achieve to be accepted by our families. We just have to be. Our membership is not based on certificates but on birth. As Malraux put it, "A friend loves you for your intelligence, a lover for your charm, but your family's love is unreasoning: you were

born into it and of its flesh and blood."

Par.VII The family is formed not for the survival of the fittest but for the weakest. It is not an economic unit but an emotional one. This is not the place where people fiercely compete with each other but where they work for each other. Its business is taking care, and when it works, it is not indifferent but kind.

Par.VIII There are fewer heroes, fewer stars in

family life. While the world may glorify the self, the family asks us, at one time or another, to submerge it. While the world may abandon us, the family promises, at one time or another, to protect us. So we commute daily, weekly, yearly between one world and another. Between a life as a family member that can be nurturing or smothering. Between life as an individual that can free us or flatten us. We hesitate between two separate sets of demands and possibilities.

Par. IX The people who will gather around this table Thursday live in both of these worlds, a part of and apart from each other. With any luck the territory they travel from one to another can be a fertile one, rich with care and space. It can be a place where the ‘I' and the "we" interact. On this day at least, they will bring to each other something both special and something to be shared: these separate selves.

How to understand this sentence?

Pavement: distance

The conflict of being raised in families and taught to be individuals bring about double values, which will always be with us all our lives.

We are taught that we enjoy freedom as an individual while we will surely be safe and secure in our family.
