Homework: Parents/Guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework.

Food for thought:

Thanksgiving holiday is one of the most widely celebrated in the USA.  In fact, it is estimated 46 million turkeys are consumed on Thanksgiving day. This means that before the holiday, turkeys are prepped so they may be nice, fat, juicy and taste delicious.  The turkeys surely have no idea why they are fed so much as the holiday approaches, they just eat, eat, gobble, and eat.  Afterwards, well, you know how that turkey ends up…

Option 3

The supper comes in courses. A thick carrot soup, green salad, lamb chops and mashed potatoes, cheese and fruit, a chocolate cake. Throughout the meal, Effie Trinket keeps reminding us to save space because there’s more to come. But I’m stuffing myself because I’ve never had food like this, so good and so much, and because probably the best thing I can do between now and the Games is put on a few pounds. “At least, you two have decent manners,” says Effie as we’re finishing the main course. “The pair last year ate everything with their hands like a couple of savages. It completely upset my digestion.” The pair last year were two kids from the Seam who’d never, not one day of their lives, had enough to eat. And when they did have food, table manners were surely the last thing on their minds.

Task:

How are Peeta and Katniss similar to the thanksgiving turkeys?.  Why are Peeta and Katniss being fed so much?  Be creative, be funny, be detailed.

What is the difference between Katniss & Peeta and the “pair last year”?

Why are Peeta and Katniss being treated?

 How is this similar to what happens to turkeys before thanks giving?
