Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. For me, Thanksgiving is steeped in tradition. The family gets up some what kind of early and starts preparing food in the kitchen. By the night time the family start to arrive, all bringing their own special Thanksgiving dishes, and the ladies hanging out in the kitchen while the guys get ready the table ready and the settings in place while the teens and the rest start going out and picking up the younger kids and making there tables all ready because believe me family I do have and the others that aren’t able to give a hand get the living room ready so the others can watch the football games in the family room. After all is eating the pies are out of the oven and the wine is busted out to drink after the desert is eating me and my other cousins set out to the stores that are still open and make drinking for the older ones of course lets keep this twenty one and above,
in other words everyone tells something that they are thankful for, and then we all eat too much and complain about being stuffed and tired, later is dessert, and then cleanup.
It is a lot of work, but there really is something to be said about having all of the family together, and it is something that happens every year. That brings everyone together in a time of peace and happiness. Another thing that could be said is that It really means a lot to me, it's the one day a year where people should really think about everything they have and what they are thankful for. It's a holiday where families actually get together. People also give back, and donate food and other things to the needy. I think it really brings the world together. And the food is great too friends and family is what is needed in this end of the year one of the holidays I say I think it does bring out the best in people. And who does not like that feeling cause if you say no then there is something totally wrong with you or you are just not a giving or nice person. Janked up if you ask me but lets not end this in a bad way.
Thanksgiving is a time for peace and tendercare.

Today in class we had to go in with a rough draft of our paper and had to have a class discussion about our papers have a unique question and tell about where we are on our paper and how to mange to fix it up to make it look good in the end.
Another thing we talked about was we were giving some notes now how the next essay was going to be done and what the requirements were on doing so called essay about the annotated bibliography also we had an example about cyber bullying what we have to do on this paper was look at the author and how they expanded their thoughts through on out their paper they wrote another thing also is that we have to do is go out there and research the person and the other articles they had wrote before and what not.
But to some up the day in that class period we went through the old stuff and came through new ones and said what was needed to be said and information was given to the class as so was needed also on how to work on the new assignment.

Reflecting on the writing center experience I had for this essay about MySpace and face book compare and contrast essay was with a breeze not saying that it was too hard nor too easy but just right. I went in to go get help on getting some ideas on how to start this ledged paper.
I went in to the writing center not knowing how I would start even get to the middle none the less end the paper. But when I got in there I figured out something that they are there to help you out all you really got to do is ask.
My writing center experience was a great one not only cause this paper was the hardest one we had to write but the longest one also can not forget that our teacher Mrs. Crawford gave us quite some time to have it ready by.
Back to what I saying this experience made me think of other ways to get some more juicy information in to my paper from the three topics I wrote about.
The comparison or contrast essay was quite a hard one the assignment had you telling which one was the best one that you picked in between both, in my paper I said MySpace had way more options to choice from but in the end both sites were equally dangerous just that one was more famous for here about it also another thing was that in the writing center they helped me figure out another topic like the one about how face book has groups out there who are mostly people who need lawyers out there to help get out of something or get something out of it and in MySpace they do have similar stuff about that same group but not as popular on there.
And the last thing I figured out in there was the age groups and why are the motivations on why they tend to us it more or less and when they are usually logged on where they can get the connection to log on and even who they add and why they do so. Just like I got it off this video we watched in class about those two sites saying the reason why the guys add more girls is to horded them meaning just to have them there so they can have more friends them the others out there.
