WHAT IMPRESSED YOU THE MOST ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING?
The part of the story that impressed me the most was when the king was very strict and bad because if you don’t follow their religion you will be persecuted or killed, so that is very bad.
ResponderEliminarThe part that impressed me the most was when the pilgrims left their home, for another place more pleasant than where they lived. Because of their king, they decided to leave their home and go look for another one.
ResponderEliminarThe part that impressed me the most was when the kids were so happy of their new home and the pilgrims wanted to thank God for that, so they made a Thanksgiving party. The pilgrims invited the indians because they helped them in winter where it was hard to find food.

When the Native Americans shared everything they had with the Pilgrims. Because for me it was the greatest display of generosity with people they didn´t know beyond the barrier of language and religion.

The moment that impressed the most was when Squanto, a native american, went to help the pilgrims even though they didn't know each other. It impressed me because he showed a kind attitude towards them, and we should learn to be like that to everyone.

ResponderEliminarThe part that impress me was when the indigenous share food to the Pilgrims, THANKSGIVING is a time to be kind, to be friendly and the most important is to SHARE with every one !!!!!!!!!!
I was very impressed when the pilgrims decided to share a meal with the Native Americans even when they were unknown to them because of their different religion, culture and ethnic. As you can see, if we wouldn´t discriminate people, we all could be friends.

The thing that impressed me the most was that in England (long time ago) people had not freedom of religion;and if they did not had the same religiion of the king or they refuse they were sent to jail or even killed.Because taht is too unfair and from bad people.
ResponderEliminarEduarda Dávalos 7air1
What impressed me the most about the history os thanksgiving was to see how the native americans recived the pilgrims and how they shared the food even though they were two different races. It is impressive to see this kind of friendship we should all copy that.
