America Diary Entry
Diary entry 1: I open my eyes, the light glistening through my eyes.White as bright as the sun, the sun, a giant ball of light.I sit up thinking about last night.My family and I, had a feast of a lifetime all night. We had venison, mutton, turkey, ducks, fruits.I think about the freshly cooked mutton and how it tasted like meat from heaven .Still remember the magical evening the night before, I get called by my mother, for a meal, while the sun slowly rises.I walked to the kitchen still thinking about the night before.My mother cooking was the magnificent, she is a great cooker.She tells me that she used to cook meals like this in the past, everyday.Now she, just cooks like last night occasionally depending on the event.Like a birthday, marriage, …show more content…
There is about 3 more ship.I get taken down to the bottom of the ship, where there is about 50 more people on all scared and confused.I look around everywhere for my brother or mother or father, they are nowhere to be seen.For the next 2 months I learn that I have been taking away from my homeland and I will serve for a master in british north America.I have gotten used to life on the ship, it is very bad though we only get one mutton per day for 5 people and 1 cup of water, and we have to work all day and night on the ship, but when there’s any time I have for myself I sit on the side of the boat listing to the swishing waves thinking about the where my mother, father and brother are thinking one I might reunite with them.About 2 days later we finally arrive at land where we get taken to a village where there are a bunch of white skinned man yelling numbers “200 for the boy, sold to the man in the brown tunic”.I get taken to the light skin man and we walk to his farm and he gives me instructions about the work on the farm and what I am supposed to do, for the next 3 months I follow the instructions my master gave me William Shake.The experience of the work was hard, especially in the winter with the weather being very cold.My master is a ok, he is nice for a light skin man, expect when the men in the red tunics come and vists he becomes meaner.But it is nicer than on the ship, I get more food I have more space to sleep, more food and water.The only thing that is bad …show more content…
“Why are we here?” he asks, “because we are all loyal to the British crown, we serve the king of Britain with the utmost best of our abilities and respect.”. “NOW! Why are we here” , “to serve the British crown” we all shout. “ Now we must evaluate you to see if your able to fight on the battlefield as a soldier, or in the kitchen as a cook.”. “You will go through a test. One will be with arms , the second one will be in the kitchen, the last in the farms”. “Now split into teams, you and your team will earn points if your peers and you perform well”. The experience of walking at sunrise and sleeping late into the night. Its tough. We also don't get food until sunrise and that only one mutton for 5-6 people and one cup of water.One day the general of the camp tells us who has made it for what team. I had made it for arms.We march through the forest as quiet as we can listen for the enemy we have been pushing them farther and farther back. If we can take over this fort we can push them back to their 3rd last fort, bang gunshots from the right I turn around only to get struck with a bullet in my leg, I throw myself to the ground grabbing my leg that is spewing out blood, within seconds I get knocked out I am lying there on the grass, dreaming. I wake up to the sound of fire, I was still feel dazed from earlier, the smell of smoke,

    “My king,” he vows after the king had finished scolding him. “My men and I will do better.” “You will, First Commander,” the king demanded, appearing further unimpressed by his once remarkable warrior’s inability to put an end to the Shadow’s reign of terror. “Remember your pledge to me, the day I knighted you with the position you now hold. Remember, I only reward those who bring me satisfaction-not headaches and…

    Ordinarily, the sun’s light captured everything in sight like a mother hugging a child and giving it warmth. From the dark oak bed, I rose because of the unpleasant bites of mosquitoes. The Civil War is always on my mind. After a most successful battle yesterday when our soldiers all left home, relief and happiness came to mind, for there was a chance that we would win. Consequently, that would explain the surge of energy running through my body after waking up. Starting off with breakfast, I walked to my kitchen, the wood underneath my feet start to creak. The closer I walked to the kitchen, the warmer and cozier the atmosphere became. My servant, Julia, prepared breakfast for me today similar to many other days, I always wonder what will breakfast will be. Fresh eggs from my brown feathered hens were soft surrounded by creamy goat cheese, and well-cooked toast was on the plate this morning. Enjoying the meal is a morning ritual,…

    Later that morning, in the sunlit dining hall, breakfast was being severed. My group sat at the table we sat at the night before. As I started to eat my tater-tots , the events from yesterday filled my mind. My group went snorkeling, both day and night, I could still feel the cold water soak my wetsuit. I remembered that Mr. Lacey, our principal, announced that the school would be leaving today because of a storm. I was disappointed because I payed for three days instead of two,but at least I was having fun.…

    The best part of the day had arrived, dinner. We had a reservation at the pier in which we were going to eat dinner. We looked like a whole bunch of bees ready to attack. The food was there. Right in front of our noses. We could feel the presence of the warmth coming from the food. The smell was just making our mouths water and our tummies rumble. We looked at each other with such eagerness to have some of those explicit desserts in our mouths. There we were, with our food served and ready to attack. I knew that when I was done with this food there was no longer going to be any space for the dessert. Overall the food was amazing and the experience as well.…
