Think back on the responses you read as well as your own response in the previous Discussion page. Compare what you read to the first Thanksgiving that you learned about in the "After the Mayflower" Video and examine how the idea of Thanksgiving has morphed over time. Keep the following questions in mind.
How does your experience with Thanksgiving differ from what you have learned?
Why do you think they differ?
How is the first Thanksgiving part of national mythology and the American creation myth?
How have you seen the American mythology influence your life?
