Thanksgiving With the Clarksons

Copyright © 2010 of James Pettis, III

Thanksgiving With The Clarksons is a comedy-drama story I came up with about drama that goes on in families. Although family drama happens year round, I wanted to give it a holiday feel (and I have several bad personal experiences with family during this holiday); so I set it around Thanksgiving time. This story is also a Narrative story (the main character talks throughout the story during highlights of the story or just to put in her personal feelings of things without speaking out loud and/or hurting someones feelings). Danielle Davis is the main character along with her husband and four children. Danielle narrates the story as more drama unfolds during this holiday season.

Danielle Davis is a stay at home mom working on her PhD in Psychology and has a loving husband Treyon with four kids named Tenisha, James, Johan, and Trey. Danielle's parents just died recently leaving her an her siblings (David, Lamar, and Tina) as the last members of the family, as an effort to keep the family together, Danielle brings the family together for Thanksgiving. But once family begins to show, a feud between her own sons comes to an ugly head, her sister tries to attack her character every chance she gets, her eldest brother acts like nothing is wrong, and ignorance gets out of hand creating a dish of drama and conflict.

This idea came to me in January of this year and it is heavily based on my real holiday experiences with extended family members. I believe that this story will have a lot of characters that people will be able to relate to. Stay posted for more info on Thanksgiving With the Clarksons.
