I’d never been on a ship before so I was hoping this would go well for me‚ so I would get picked more often to go. ‘Course‚ I only have Mamá that is my family and it would break her heart if I died out at sea. The rudder of ‘da Pinta slipped so we had to make an unthought-of stop at the Canary Island. Columbus ordered the other captain to stay there and try to fix it while we went to Gomera

Diary entry 1 One of the things that I had to do in the Hitler Youth was burn books. I did not even want to burn the books‚ but I had to if I didn’t want to blow my cover. The book burning was unnecessary. Why do you need to burn something that has nothing to do with you? They burnt those books because they didn’t say what the Nazi’s wanted them to say. The best books in the world burnt because the Nazi’s don’t want people to think differently. The whole thing angered me. I was fuming inside‚ but

Dear Diary‚ Looking back on the trial about Emmett Till it is hard to support the way that everything turned out. I remember the terrible amounts of discrimination that occurred. Going back the story went as told. Emmett Till to me was just an innocent boy. The two men who murdered him should not have been innocent. Emmett Till was a 14-year-old boy who was brutally murdered. The reason was horrific and completely not understandable. Emmett Till was from Chicago and wasn’t used to the tremendous
