How did the Constitution Guard against Tyranny? “When the people fear the government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people there is liberty.” James Madison said. First, I want to establish what tyranny is, tyranny is harsh absolute power in the hands of one person, a few, or many, our Constitution was created to prevent this government from occurring. The Constitution guarded against tyranny by creating Federalism so the central government and the state government did not control the same issues, separating the powers into three branches of government Legislative, Judicial, and Executive, and putting Checks and Balances on these branches to control the power of each other.
Reading the comic strip “True Tales of the Amerikkkan History Part II: The True Thanksgiving” artist Jim Mahfood, examines different views on ethnicity, specifically the differences between American Indians and Whites, through the views of a naïve and native youngster. Mahfood, utilizes a classic nine panel format with “True Tales of the Amerikkkan History Part II: The True Thanksgiving”, which traces the youths discussion about Thanksgiving. This discussion between the white kid and the Native American kid, shows the vast differences between both youths perception of the traditional American holiday. Mahfood’s portrayal of the white kid, as a self-absorbed follower of society and as direct reflection of his apparently, uncompassionate
We stayed at their house for the weekend just waiting impatiently for Sunday. We spent a lot of time Friday and Saturday goes out to eat, shooting at the range, and just hanging out with each other. On Friday, Brendan, Parker (his friend), and I traveled to spectate at the Lapeer football game. They were one game away from going undefeated. There were so many people there, way more than an Alpena football game.
My favorite memory with my mom is when we took a cruise the day after christmas. It was my favorite time with my mom because I got to spend a lot of time with her. On the cruise we got off at a stop in the bahamas and we got to stop at a bunch of different shops. Then we stopped at a beach and we swam and scuba dived and hung out on the beach. We got to spend a lot of time with each other without or phones distracting us.
We set up everything, and just wait until Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Laura, and Malik, Cloud, Scott, and Gary to come over. Once they come, we give everyone our hugs; we play outside, watch football, eat, and have a great time. What is Thanksgiving to me? Well, Thanksgiving to me is when family comes together and spends the whole afternoon together.
In life, being conflicted is always a difficult situation. Figuring out how to deal with or solve the problem can be even harder. Referring to the story,Thanksgiving: A Personal History, the main character, Jennifer, is conflicted between whether to keep her traditional Thanksgiving routine or to adopt a modern one. When it came to celebrating Thanksgiving as a child, Jennifer became accustomed to her family’s ‘get-togethers’.
Thanksgiving with my family can be stressful and fun at the same time. Every year we always go to my grandma’s house and so does the rest of the family.

Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is the most stimulating holiday. There is an extreme amount of food to see, smell and taste, along with emotions associated with seeing family. The whole feeling of Thanksgiving is warmer and different than most holidays. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and siblings stand in a circle around a table laden with food. Their hands are linked.

when we got there she gave us hugs and we went inside we mostly watched movies sitting on the couch together. now remember. there were 7 people on one couch. of course it was crowded there were people sitting on the arms of the couch and on each others laps and stuff, but it was still fun after a while we left the house going to the mall which was maybe an hour walk from the house on the hill. we did a lot of walking since we didn't drive cars we rode bikes and skateboards or walked.
The holidays can be stressful and with Thanksgiving right around the corner we tend to forget about ourselves, because we're so busy taking care of others. Together with Alouette, I want to share three easy ways you can keep it together this Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is always big for us. I would generally spend hours in the kitchen making sure everything is ready. This year we won't be hosting, but that doesn't mean that our meals aren't going to be extravagant.
Hosting Thanksgiving was always a tradition at my house. We would always have my family down at my house every year for as far back as I can remember. That is, until this year. This year, my family and I went down to South Carolina for Thanksgiving. It was a blast!
After that, we would go to our room. Then our parents thought we should get pizza, so they ordered pizza. After the pizza got there, we would eat and watch baseball games.
“Thanksgiving Break” a term every middle school student remembers. A time to spend with your family, eat food and the best part, not being in school. It was a beautiful autumn day and the ground glowed with the crisp fall leaves. The leaves seemed to dance around as the cool mid- autumn air blew through them. It was the day before thanksgiving and us grandkids were at grandma's house for a fun family day.
As studied by Janet Siskind, the American Thanksgiving celebration is actually a very detailed ritual that contains many symbols. Similar to other rituals, the holiday reinforces certain social structures and “…reaffirms values and assumptions about cultural and social unity, about identity and history, about inclusion and exclusion” (168). The Thanksgiving ritual is centered around a return home, as people traveled from their urban homes back to their rural home to meet with their larger family. As a result, “the household became the site of ritual performance…” (175). The goal of the Thanksgiving ritual was to reaffirm the family and renew traditional ties, especially as more people had started moving into the cities around the time that the holiday became popular in the United States (176).
