Turkey on Thanksgiving

Introduction

When the pilgrims came to America they met the American Indians. The American Indians taught the pilgrims many things about the land. When they became close they had something called Thanksgiving. On November 28th thanksgiving is a tradition and so is eating turkey on that day. There are many theories on why pilgrims eat turkey on thanksgiving. One theory was that during the 16th century a fleet of Spanish ships sunk on their way to attack England. Queen Elizabeth revived this news while eating dinner. She was so trilled that she ordered another goose be served. The Settlers were so trilled they roasted a turkey instead of a goose.


Opinion

I think that if we eat turkey on Thanksgiving because Queen Elizabeth ate a goose but not a turkey. Since she didn't eat a turkey I don't know why we eat turkey for sure. I think we eat turkey because the American Indians and pilgrims needed to decide on what to eat.  But the Indians think that animals should be respected. So they decided on a turkey than an other animal. If they decided on an other animal then they would eat an other animal.
