The Grammar of Thanksgiving

Clapp's view on the grammar of Thanksgiving was written with a historical and religious perspective. I was confused at the beginning of the essay. It seemed like he was trying to stretch a "metaphorical" like example of grammar and other things to make sense and prove a point. It began to make sense the more in depth into the essay it got, but it was still a little confusing, but then again that might just be me. I liked how he gave examples as to what he meant by the grammar of Thanksgiving, it made it make more sense the more examples given. In his first paragraph he clearly states that he will be writing with a Christian perspective, then continues with this throughout the essay. He gives a simple explanation of Thanksgiving, which is helpful for someone who doesn't know, or can't remember, why Thanksgiving is celebrated. I agreed with a few of the things he wrote. The brief statistics of how little our country gives to others was depressing. I like the comparison he used with Thanksgiving and the story of Exodus. I think he made a good point that Thanksgiving is a time of giving thanks and we should above all thank God. I overall liked his view of the grammar of Thanksgiving.

Intro

Hiding identity is not just common in super hero films and comics, but in real life as well. People hide their identities fro many different reasons. People hide their identities for protection in films from the bad guy, but their are also those who have to hide in real life for their own safety. It's also for the protection of family and friends to keep your identity hidden. Celebrities hide their identity out in public, so they can live their lives in peace, and keep their children out of the spotlight. People hide their identities for hiding their differences, good or bad, because of their fear of being different. People can wear a mask, metaphorical or physically because they feel they have to hide their true identity to feel "normal" in this world. The film The Incredibles does a good job at portraying what its like to hide your identity, not only as a super hero, but in real life too.
