Thanksgiving symbol

Today in class we were told that some vegans were arguing that the symbol of thanksgiving should no longer be a turkey. It’s a bird people come on its not like it’s anything serious. And not to mention it’s definitely not the brightest animal out there, I mean it’s a bird and it can barely fly. I spend a lot of my time in the woods hunting and I couldn’t tell you how many times that I’ve seen a turkey try to roost in a tree, and every time I end up laughing cause they’re so unintelligent. You can actually watch them try their hardest to make it up to a branch and when they do they sit down on it, if it’s quiet you can hear little crackling noises. Next thing you know the branch breaks off of the tree and the turkey comes crashing down with it. But here is where it gets really ridiculous, after they go plummeting to the ground, and walk around trying to walk off the big drop they just experienced the dumb bird tries it again and a lot of times it ends with the same result. So clearly this bird that they are trying to end this symbol for isn’t too bright.

I would like to actually hear the reasoning’s to why they think that it should no longer be the symbol of thanksgiving. Is it because the vegans don’t eat anything with a face so they find it disturbing? If that’s so then still why it does matter because it’s not like there is some ridiculous number of vegans in the country, we all know that there is way more non vegans. Also, it’s not like the turkey is the symbol of thanksgiving because someone saw one in the wild and thought “Wow that would just be the best symbol for a holiday and we can call it Thanksgiving.” The turkey is the symbol of this holiday because when the pilgrims settled and had this well-known meal that they shared with the Indians their main course for the meal was turkey. The original meal for thanksgiving was centered around the turkey and it always has been. When it comes to the thanksgiving dinner nobody is talking about the great salad they are about to eat, it’s all about the turkey. The turkey being the not so bright bird that has been the main course of a thanksgiving meal and the symbol of thanksgiving since it was first created, there is no reason to change this tradition and it shouldn’t be changed as the symbol. Not to mention if it was changed from the turkey what symbol could we use our hand to draw as a representation for the symbol.

Pro-gun vs anti-gun essay

The compare and contrast essay that Im writing about is comparing the two sides of the gun control debate. In the essay Im going to start off by saying some of the things that the anti-gun side has tried to ban, such as the magazine sizes of some firearms. Next im going to say that they had tried to even ban a certain type of firearm from being purchased by the public, and then I will follow that up with some of the laws that they have tried to pass in the past. After I am done talking about that i will say some things about how they are trying to ban guns through the UN and start off doing it overseas. I will also go in to how the presidential cabinet has been stacked with an anti-gun commitee to better their chances of banning firearms.

Once I have finished talking about the attempted bans and what the anti-gun committee is trying to do I will go into the pro-gun side of the argument. Im going to talk about all of the different ways that they have shut down every bad thing that this anti-gun force has said about firearms and how they have proved all of their facts to be false. I will also talk about how they have said that it is our right as U.S. citizens to be able to posses firearms.

Ted Talk, “Brain Magic”, the ted talk that I watched was about how a trained professional can get into people’s minds and use them for their senses and control the other person’s senses. The ted talk was set up like a magic show but it wasn’t a standard magic show where you see a guy pull a rabbit out of a top hat, he had actually used people for the magic. For example, he did a trick that he called voodoo trick where he selected two people from the crowd and had them stand on the stage in front of the audience. He then had one of them close their eyes and not to think or do anything. While she had her eyes closed he went up to the man and touched his back twice. He then told her to open her eyes and asked if she had felt anything and she surprisingly said “yes, you poked my back twice.” He then had her close her eyes once more and took the man’s arm and started poking his forearm, and after he did this he told her to open her eyes again. Once more he asked “did you feel anything?” she then said “yes you were poking my forearm” she had even pointed out the area, then he said “I never touched you, only the man.”

This Ted Talk that I watched wasn’t really a process analysis like we were assigned to watch, but he did somewhat tell you how a trained professional could get in some one’s head and do these things.it was interesting to watch because you wanted to tell yourself that it’s magic and there’s no way possible that magic is a real thing. But after watching it and looking back on it you then think to yourself how could these things happen, because there is no logical reasoning to back it up. This Ted Talk really left me wondering what I just watched because I had no clue on how any of the things he shows could have happened.
