A. I always think it's funny when Indians celebrate Thanksgiving. I mean, sure, the Indians and Pilgrims were best friends during that first Thanksgiving, but a few years later, the Pilgrims were shooting Indians.

So I'm never quite sure why we eat turkey like everybody else.

"Hey, Dad," I said. "What do Indians have to be so thankful for?"

"We should give thanks that they didn't kill all of us."

We laughed like crazy. It was a good day. Dad was sober. Mom was getting ready to nap. Grandma was already napping. (14.4-14.8)

How is the Spirit family's relationship to Thanksgiving different than other American families’?

  Espanol: Siempre pienso que es divertido cuando los indios celebran Acción de Gracias. Quiero decir, claro, los indios y peregrinos eran los mejores amigos durante esa primera acción de gracias, pero unos años más tarde, los peregrinos estaban matando indios.

Así que nunca estoy muy seguro de por qué comemos pavo como todo el mundo.

"Oye, papá", le dije. "¿De qué tienen que estar agradecido los indios?"

"Debemos dar gracias de que no nos matanaron a todos."

Nos reímos como locos. Fue un buen día. Papá estaba sobrio. Mamá se preparaba para dormir la siesta. La abuela ya estaba durmiendo la siesta. (14,4-14,8)



¿Cómo es diferente la relación de la familia Espíritu  respecto a Acción de Gracias en comparacion otras familias americanas '?
