My Speech is about Thanksgiving Day☆

Thanksgiving Day was the first memorial event of the harvest. When the Pilgrims first arrived in Massachusetts in USA, they celebrated Thanksgiving Day. They did this to thank God and the American Indians. The winter of 1620 was very cold and terrible and there ware many dead people, but some of them could live because of help by Indians. Then the next autumn had a lot of crops, so Pilgrims invited Indians and they celebrated. It was the first time of Thanksgiving celebration. However, they had their own tradition of harvest festivals each other at the time.

The first Thanksgiving was held as a service at the church rather than a dinner party. It had strong meaning to thanks for God.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day is a traditional North American holiday to give thanks for the things that has at the conclusion of the harvest season. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States; on the other hand in Canada it is on the second Monday of October. [from Wikipedia]

After Christophorus Columbus reached America, Europeans started calling America “a new world,” and then Europeans went ahead with a colony project. Thanksgiving Day is generally believed that Pilgrim Fathers’, who immigrated to Plymouth Colony in Commonwealth of Massachusetts from UK, first memorial event of the harvest. It was a harsh winter in Plymouth when they reached there in 1620; there were a number of dead people, but they could live because of help by Wampanoag Indian who lived near them. Autumn in 1621 particularly caused a lot of crops, so Pilgrim Fathers invited Indians and they had entertainment thanks to the grace of God together. It was the first time of the Thanksgiving celebration. However, they didn’t think it was Thanksgiving because settlers from England and Wampanoag Indians had their own tradition of harvest festivals each other.

The first Thanksgiving which hold in Plymouth Colony was hold a service at the church rather than a dinner party in 1623. It has strong nuance religiously to thanks for God.

In the United State, by the mid–1800s, many states observed a Thanksgiving holiday. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln, looking for ways to unite the nation, discussed the subject with Hale. In 1863 he gave his Thanksgiving Proclamation, declaring the last Thursday in November a day of thanksgiving.

The Mist

I watched a horror film for the first time at a movie theater. I had never seen horror film there before because I don’t like horror movie. This movie is a horror film made in America. This film was showed in this year. The movie director is Frank Darabont who also made “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” and author is Stephen Edwin King who was wrote them. Main casts are Thomas Jane (a poster artist, David Drayton), Marcia Gay Hardwen (a Judaism believer, Mrs. Carmody), Laurie Holden (a new appointment teacher, Amanda Dan Flea) and Andre Braugher (a lawyer, the neighbor of the Drayton family, Brent Norton). This film is different from the original novel and completely an original movie. Now I tell you about the recommendation point to see it…

This movie’s real fear is human’s mental state when they don’t know when they are attacked by a strange something. What kind of choices do people choose in front of the fear that they have never seen before?
