How is the Thanksgiving meal at Firoozeh’s house a metaphor for her American Assimilation? To what extent might eating another culture’s traditional cuisine enable one to better understand its people?

The family members brin traditional Persian foods but also cook turkey. This represents the coming together of two cultures under an American holiday. The feast represents the family's new American culture and tradition without ignoring their strong Iranian roots. During our Thanksgiving meal, my father gives thanks for living in a free country where he can vote. I always share gratitude for being able to pursue my hopes and dreams, despite being female. My relatives and I are proud to be Iranian, but we also give tremendous thanks for our lives in America, a nation where freedom reigns.
