**Your World Assignment 2**



I found many things surprising while looking for the world events for the different years. For instance, some of the world events I included in my timeline were about NASA, and how messenger/spacecrafts landed near or on the different planet, and these events were quite interesting.
 * 1. Explain ** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?

One thing I did well in this project, was include a variety of different world events in my timeline, which were very interesting.
 * 2. Explain ** one thing you think you did well in this project?

One thing I definitely need to improve on is making my poster from creative. I feel like I could have done a better job in making it unique, and eye-catching.
 * 3. Explain ** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?

4. Name at least ** two life skills ** you think you practiced during this project. How did you practice these life skills during this project? Be specific. Two life skills I practiced/improved on during the process of this project are my geographical and mapping skills, and having more knowledge about the different and important worldwide events that occurred during my lifetime (from the past, to present).

Entries It has almost been 4 weeks since we have been on the sea...and every second of it makes me feel like dying would be a better option. We fill our stomachs with taste-less food, and our bodies are full of scars from the deathly whips and kicks (later washed with sea water) by the White Men. Without Wrestler's encouragement to keep trying, I would have not been able to survive a minute in this ship. I wonder how people back home are doing...I hope they are all well and safe. I know they will come after all of us, I know they will be there to save us. Everyone from back home will be ready to kill these white men who have made our lives miserable; or living hell. He is watching from up there, and one day these people will be punished for their sins. At least that is what I continued to promise myself. || Anyway, Mr. Slater seems to be thinking quite differently than I am. He has plenty of experience with bringing slaves, so I think he has a better sense and perspective of how things are going to work out. Even though his actions are extremely brutal, I guess it is for the best. Let's see how things turn out. ||
 * ** Who ** || ** Date ** || ** Diary Entry ** ||
 * Kunte Kinte ||  May 1763  || This evening was quite hectic and nerve racking. My little brother was finally born today! We have not decided on what we should name him…it shall be decided after the ritual. My mother suffered from a lot of pain, but at the end it was worth it, because an angel was born. He was as tiny as a nut, a playful nut however. Anyway, I am just really glad that he entered our lives. I feel like he would make the perfect little brother. He would make a great friend as well. I’m really looking forward to teaching him all of the skills I learned, as he grows up. ||
 * Kunte Kinte ||  Aug. 1765  ||   ||
 * Kunte Kinte ||  Dec. 1767  || I just wanted to apologize to everyone back home...I am so sorry that we were not able to say goodbye to each other in the proper way. Little did I know going to that jungle was the worst decision I made in this lifetime.
 * Captain Davies ||  Aug.1767  || I'm still not sure how I feel about kidnapping all of those slaves from Africa. My mind tells me it's better, but my heart is pointing in the other direction. Images of people being separated from their families and suffering from all of the pain both mentally and physically keep appearing in my mind. On the other hand, I guess having more helping aid in the New World can benefit us in many different ways...
 * Mr. Slater ||  Dec. 1767  || We are still extremely far away from the New World, however we're holding our patience. It has been almost 4 weeks since we started our journey. Luckily, everything is in our favor and our plan turned out to work perfectly. Although it was tough to get them across this far, we managed to accomplish our task. I've had plenty of experience with this, so I can probably figure out a way to overcome any challenges we encounter. There was a ton of screams and shouts crying for help, but too bad no one can go anywhere running for help. Our layout for the slaves to reach our destination properly has been working out quite well. None of them have had the chance to escape or commit suicide. Hopefully, things will continue to be in our favor and nothing will end up going in the wrong direction. ||
 * ** Sample(Kadi Touray) ** || Aug. 1765  || My family and I are still on our way to Kerewan but I'm not sure how much farther we still have to go. Luckily, we accidentally met a local villager named Kunte Kinte who told me that it's one day to Kerewan. The interesting thing is how we met this young man. He knocked Fanta over and spilled our water and knocked over our millet as he was chasing a bird for his manhood training. He obviously needs to learn to run faster because I easily caught up to him and dragged him back to apologize to Fanta for knocking her over. After he clumsily put our stuff back, he bid us farewell and took off again after his bird. I did notice that Fanta gave our visitor a strange look. Perhaps she has been struck by the love arrow. If we do meet Kunte Kinte again, I will make sure he is the right man for my beloved daughter. ||

__**Unit 2 Assignment 8**__
Forced migration is when someone/a group of people have to relocate to another country, against his or her will. For example, the Choctaw Tribe had to move from the American Southeast, the Indian Territory. People went through forced assimilation as well – they had to start adjusting with the new culture, and practice new traditions. Native tribes, such as the Cherokee had to change their roots, by starting to adjust with the new culture the Europeans had developed. Cultural genocide is the extermination of a cultural group. Many Native Americans were destroyed because of both violence and negative effects and actions caused by the Europeans. Manifest destiny is the belief that Americans had, and it was used for political reasons. The Europeans believed that they were destined to take over the natives’ land.
