If there was something that would come off as strong or really working in this piece, it would have to be again the imagery and how it was able to use food that is normally viewed as a tradition or standard for Thanksgiving and relating that to a family aspect. On the topic of imagery, I am the proudest of the images of the turkey and stuffing and how they act as the proverbial grandparents of the family or situation, as they have been here the longest and it is hard to imagine Thanksgiving without them. I am also particularly fond of sweet potato pie imagery as it shows the perfect or favorite child/sibling and how the attention shifts to them and everyone else gets to take a backseat to the “pie”. “The sweet potato pie is the real reason people stay and make room for dessert.

Me and my cousin from my aunt’s always play with nerf guns while everybody else is inside socializing.

It strongly encourages the idea that within society it is important to recognize and understand how racism is embedded into our institutions.
The pecan pie had to be just about the best one I ever had. It tasted just like freshly cooked, warm pecans, in a pie crust, with frosting on them.

I have a tradition with my cousin, who is the same age as me, where I spend the whole Thanksgiving weekend at her house; which is like 10 minutes away from mine.
