Thanksgiving meal

This essay focuses on Thanksgiving meal. Personally, I suggest making it easier on yourself by giving a general introduction, then in the body giving one paragraph to each menu item, and then the conclusion where you once again give analysis of this quintessential American meal. This way you may start with the turkey:

Since this is a purely argumentative essay, there are several options for organization.

Personally, I suggest making it easier on yourself by giving a general introduction, then in the body giving one paragraph to each menu item,

and then the conclusion where you once again give analysis of this quintessential American meal.

This way you may start with the turkey:

address why we buy Butterball,

why does it has to be so big,

why are we even serving a turkey rather than meatloaf (?) or a duck (?)

Next comes the yams:

similar points of canned or fresh,

how prepared,

historically accurate or not,

why we want them (even if no one eats them)

Continue in this manner, through the meal (adding analysis, support, and in-text citations)have had yams, so why create and serve this dish?

Upon pondering the average Thanksgiving dinner,

research how advertising has influenced its creation,

why do we choose these items for the table,

how many calories it involves,

who prepares it,

and who (if anyone) it represents.

This meal will include the traditional:

turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes,

green bean salad,

cranberry relish, rolls, pumpkin

and pecan pies

, and Cool Whip.

This is all based off of local store ads in Riverside, CA.

Also, be sure to use MLA documentation that includes:

Research Essay Consider the average holiday meal, in fact, use Thanksgiving.

It represents America, or does it?

After all, the Colonists didn’t have mini marshmallows on their yams

and might not even have had yams, so why create and serve this dish?
