Niềm tự hào của người hành hương: Đoạn văn của Della vào các nghi lễ thiêng liêng của gia đình

Della is excited to meet her boyfriend Jimmy's family for the first time ever on Thanksgiving. She knows that they are super big on this holiday and that they have a couple of sacred traditions that they must follow every year. Della wants to fit in with the family so badly, so she feels obligated to do anything Jimmy's folks ask of her. However, weird things keep happening. For starters, they're all dressed like pilgrims, taking the holiday seriously. Secondly, Della is haunted by visions of a turkey-headed person who turns out to be Peter, Jimmy's dad. Oddly enough, she's not creeped out by the situation but quite the contrary-she's horny as hell! She can imagine what her boyfriend's family is expecting of her but she isn't sure if she can honor the traditions the way they expect. Yet her worries quickly wash away as her soon-to-be mother-in-law takes charge of the situation.
