How does Thanksgiving play out at Melinda's house In the book Speak?
In the book "Speak", Melinda discusses Thanksgiving at her house by noting that the Pilgrims gave thanks, because the Indians saved them from starving, but she gives thanks, because her mother goes to work and her father orders pizza. Melinda feels her mother sets herself up for failure. They always beg for her not to cook Thanksgiving dinner. This year, she forgets to thaw the turkey until Thanksgiving morning, and then, she tries numerous crazy ways to get it ready to cook. ChaCha!

About Thanksgiving
American Thanksgiving commemorates pilgrims from England surviving their first brutal New England winter with the help of Native Americans. During the winter of 1620 most of the pilgrims stayed on the Mayflower where half of the 102 passengers died from scurvy and exposure. When they came ashore in spring, they were greeted by English speaking natives from the Abenaki and Pawtuxet tribes who showed them how to hunt, fish and farm. That fall, the Pilgrims invited their new found friends for a three day long feast which probably included deer, lobster, fish, and all types of fowl.
