How birth order influences your personality

THE OLDEST CHILD

Firstborn children often have to look after their younger brothers and sisters, so they're usually sensible and responsible as adults.

They also tend to be ambitious, and they make good leaders. On the negative side, oldest children can be insecure and anxious. This is because -1-H. when the second child was born, they lost some of their parents' attention, and maybe they felt rejected

THE MIDDLE CHILD

Middle children are more relaxed than the oldest children, probably because -2- C. their parents were more relaxed themselves by the time the second child arrived. They're usually very sociable - the kind

of people who get on with everybody. They are also usually sensitive to what other people need, because -3-A. they grew up between older and younger brothers and sisters. For the same reason, they're often quite good at sorting out arguments, and they're always sympathetic to the ones on the losing side, or in general, to people who are having problems. On the other hand, middle children can sometimes be unambitious, and they can lack direction in life.

THE YOUNGEST CHILD

Youngest children are often very outgoing and charming. This is the way they try to get the attention of both their parents and their older brothers and sisters. They are often more rebellious, and this is probably because

-4-B. it's easier for them to break the rules - by the time they were born, their parents were more relaxed about discipline. They can also be immature and disorganized, and they often depend too much on other people, because -5-E. they have always been the baby of the family.

THE ONLY CHILD

Only children usually do very well at school, because they have a lot of contact with adults. They get a lot of love and attention from their parents, so they're typically self-confident. They're also independent, as they spend so much time by themselves. And because -6-F. they spend a lot of time with adults, they're often very organized. Only children can sometimes be spoilt, because -7-D. they are given everything they ask for by their parents. They can also be quite selfish and get impatient, especially when things go wrong. This is because -8-G. they've never had to sort out problems with other brothers and sisters.

A Time for Thanks... and Reflection: The Story of

Thanksgiving is like, the most American holiday ever, right? We picture Pilgrims, turkeys, and a big

feast, all about being thankful. But there's way more to it than just that. It's got a long history, and

not all of it is as simple as the stories we hear in elementary school.

Harvest festivals and giving thanks have been around forever. Think ancient Greeks honoring

Demeter or Jewish celebrations like the Feast of the Tabernacles. Even way back in 1607, British

colonists in Maine gave thanks for arriving safely. But the Thanksgiving we know today? That story

gets a little more complicated.

Some people think the first Thanksgiving actually happened in Virginia in 1619. A colony called

Berkley Hundred held a religious service to celebrate their ship's arrival and said they'd do it every

year. But that colony didn't last, so the Pilgrims got all the credit. The Pilgrims, who landed near

Plymouth Rock, are usually credited with holding a harvest celebration with the Wampanoag tribe

in 1621. They ate things like lobster, clams, and, of course, "wild turkeys".

Here's where it gets tricky. The story we usually hear is all about Pilgrims and Native Americans

having a friendly meal together. But that's only one side of the story. Many Native Americans see

Thanksgiving as a reminder of what they lost when Europeans came to America. After that first

Thanksgiving, things changed quickly. There were massacres and wars, and Native Americans lost

their land and independence. So, for them, Thanksgiving isn't always a happy holiday.

Created with web.diffit.meIt's important to remember that history isn't always simple. There are different perspectives, and

it's good to hear them all. Some people might argue that focusing on the negative aspects of

Thanksgiving is disrespectful to the Pilgrims and the idea of giving thanks. They might say that it's

important to celebrate the good things in our history, even if they're not perfect. But others would

say that ignoring the negative aspects is disrespectful to Native Americans and their experiences.

They might argue that it's important to acknowledge the full history of Thanksgiving, both the

good and the bad.

Over time, Thanksgiving became more than just a harvest celebration. Presidents started

declaring days of Thanksgiving, and Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday in 1863. The White

House even has its own Thanksgiving traditions, like the turkey pardon. The turkey pardon became

a tradition when President George H.W. Bush pardoned a turkey in 1989.

Today, Thanksgiving is a mix of traditions. We travel to see family, eat a big feast, watch parades

and football, and maybe even break a wishbone. Some people volunteer to help others in need.

But it's also a time to remember the real history of Thanksgiving, with all its complexities, and to

be respectful of different viewpoints. It's a time to be thankful, but also to think about the past

and how it affects the present
