The First Thanksgiving (Yichen Wang)

The writer gave the experience about having Thanksgiving with her strange family members first time in New York City.
At the begining, the writer was to conflict with her parents on mental. They did not want to talk to each other. I do not think it is correct for family relationship, but I can understand the writer. Parents are the older generation, they often think so different with their offsprings, they have their own life style, they are oldschool, there are so many topics we must avoid. Otherwaise, there is an arguement is waiting for us.
After that, the writer's sister brought her son to come with her. That means the writer cannot avoid to talk with her family anymore. Then, they found fun between the time they live together. I think that was great . Because avoiding to communicate is not a good idea for family menbership, try to communicate with others can eliminate the misunderstanding.
Finally, something happened that change the situation. The nephew started to cry out and embarrassment appeared again. Every one in the writers family were so regret that they come to have the Thanksgiving together. In my opinion, the membership is so sick! What the family are? The last position of people's emotion, the harbour for souls' rest. What happend on them? They even try to avoiding meeting each others!
In modern city, less traditional views is kept, more and more people give up their families. They argue for benefit, they fight for themselves. The modern society is so bloodiness and only the religion faith can save the people I think.
