Please provide a sample outline for a Thanksgiving Day party.I need an outline sample about a Thanksgiving party

If I were writing an essay or story modeled after the
“Thanksgiving Day” story, I would focus on detailed descriptions of the characters
rather than focusing on events.  This is because the story focuses more on describing
the characters and family than on plot.  I would outline it around people then.  I am
providing you with some generic sample information so you can plan your own outline, but
feel free to use mine too.  You can fill in the
rest.


  1. Hosting Family
    1.  Mother
      greets guests at the door.
      1. Wears an apron but with perfect outfit and
        hair, apron is more for show as others are doing the
        work.

      2. Makes small talk, tries to make guests feel welcome
        while staying in control of who goes where and does what.
        1. Makes
          suggestions, such as oldest son is playing football and middle daughter has
          games.



    2. Father
      stays in the kitchen with the turkey at first, then moves to the TV to chat with
      guests.
      1. Father shoes out those who venture into the kitchen, but only
        after giving them little treats.

      2. He is portly and jolly,
        and does not wear an apron but is covered in flour and little stains that don’t seem to
        bother him at
        all.


    3. Oldest daughter
      assists mom with cooking.

    4. Middle daughter watches and
      entertains the visiting children and youngest
      daughter.

    5. Son stays outside most of the afternoon playing
      football with some of the
      guests


  2. Visiting family
    1
    1. Mother is tense.

    2. Two teenage sons
      that join the football game

    3. Father turns the game on TV
      as soon as he
      arrives


  3. Visiting family
    2
    1. Mother is exhausted, carrying a
      baby

    2. Three young
      children


  4. Visiting family
    3


You can see that I describe the
people carefully, and through these descriptions was basically see the plot unfold. 
It’s actually kind of fun!
