Edward Winslow's account details that "they went out and killed five deer" and mentions that "our governor sent four men on fowling" and that "they four, in one day, killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week." While it is possible that turkeys may have been killed, it is more likely that ducks or geese were the primary targets.
In addition, the crops grown by both settler and Native American would have graced that early thanksgiving dinner. Corn, squash, potatoes, yams, even wheat to make bread were, in all probability, shared and enjoyed.
亲爱的老师,同学们:
大家好!
人们常说父爱如山,可在我看来,我的父亲对我的爱,并非完全如山那样严峻,有时却如水那样温柔。
父亲是位有文化,品德高尚的人,虽然他不像别的家长那样富有,但他为我付出的绝对不比别的孩子差,甚至比他们还好。
每当谈起我的父亲,我不禁流泪。他平时工作很繁忙,但无论如何,每天坚持问候我有关学习、生活上的事情,只要我学习上有问题,他都会在百忙中抽出时间去辅导我。从上学到现在,每一次家长会他都从未缺席,他曾说过:无论再忙,孩子永远是我考虑的第一位。
每个周末,我都去父亲工作的地方。有时,去到时,看到他在工作,不忍心打扰他,就在一旁看着,看着那渐渐变老的父亲,两鬓又多了一丝白发,我又一次不禁落泪了。看着那身体一日比一日瘦小,我的心万分痛苦。想起了父亲当年是如何挨过来的。
而我对我父亲的爱,比对母亲的爱更为重要。自我懂事以来,父亲已是我生命中所不可缺少的一部分。在学习上他是我的好老师,在生活上,他是我的好朋友。如果我做错事了,他的第一反应不是打、骂我,而是心平气和地教导我。无论我做错了什么,他都从自身发掘问题后,再去教育我。他十分注重我的一切,所以对我格外严格。但我不恨他,因为父亲是在关心我,怕我走歪路。
我以我父亲为荣。他在生活中十分注重形象。所以他的衣着十分整齐。他曾说过:一个人的形象代表一个人的品质。
十几个春秋已过去了,我对父亲的爱也加深了。我也很清楚,我这一生中,没有谁能取代他在我生命中的地位。
父亲,您放心吧,我一定会不负您的重望。长大后依然清楚记得归家的路如何走。
had a great time throughout my May Day Holiday. On Monday, I went BBQ with my classmates who threw a celebration party at our middle school principle’s flat. Our parents were invited to the party. Everybody was excited about the holiday. I ate a lot of delicious food at that time. On Tuesday, I went visiting my uncle’s family with my parents. We went to celebrate our good time at a fancy restaurant in Shanghai. Later that day, we sang karaoke in my uncle’s house. We stayed for the night. On Wednesday, I went shopping with my cousins. We bought some brand name t-shirts and pants. In the afternoon, my cousins gave me a fun ride on the city highway.
