Elias’lifeThanksgiving

Day

is

a

national

holiday

celebrated

mainlyin

the

US

and

Canada

as

a

day

of

giving

thanks

for

thegood

harvest

and

of

the

past

year.In

1620,

the

settlers

sailed

to

America

on

the

May

Flower,looking

for

a

place

where

they

could

have

freedom

ofreligion.

After

a

stormy

two-month

voyage,

they

landed

at,Massachusetts

in

November.

During

their

first

winter,

overhalf

of

the

settlers

died

of

hunger

or

diseases.Those

who

survived

began

growing

food

in

the

firstspring.

All

summer

long

they

waited

for

the

harvests

withgreat

anxiety,

knowing

that

their

lives

and

the

futureexistence

depended

on

the

coming

harvest.Finally

they

had

a

good

harvest.

And

therefore

it

wasdecided

that

a

day

of

thanksgiving

to

the

Lord

should

befixed.It

was

in

1941

that

President

Franklin

D.

Rooseveltannounced

the

fourth

Thursday

of

November

asThanksgiving

Day

every

year.

The

celebration

ofThanksgiving

Day

has

been

observed

on

that

dateuntil

today.The

big

family

dinner

is

planned

weeks

ahead.

On

thedinner

table,

people

will

find

apples,

oranges,

walnutsand

grapes.

The

best

and

most

attractive

are

roast

turkeyand

pumpkin

pie.

They

have

been

the

most

traditionaland

favorite

food

on

Thanksgiving

Day.There

is

a

tradition

to

for

the

President

to

officiallypardon

a

turkey.

George

Bush

was

the

first

to

do

so.However,

all

the

turkeys

died

surprisingly

quickly

afterthey

were

FThe

rest

of

Elias’

storyWhy

could

Elias

find

a

job

after

he

finished

the

4years

in

prison?Because

he

was

better

educated

than

other

blacks.Why

did

Elias

lose

his

job?The

police

told

his

boss

he

had

been

in

prison

before.How

did

his

wife

and

children

make

a

living

when

hewas

in

prison?They

had

to

beg

for

food

and

help

from

relatives

orfriends.What

big

event

did

the

year

1994

witness? The

ANC

came

to

power.What

influence

did

it

have

on

the

blacks

like

Elias?They

could

enjoy

equal

rights

and

work

to

supporttheir

families.Elias’
