--- Assignment 8 The American government forced native Americans to relocate somewhere west. This is called forced migration, because they were forced and they couldn’t go back to the place they used to be. They also forced in assimilation, by converting them to be Christian, wear suits, talk their language and just make them more “European”. If they resisted, there would be consequences. Also because of desieses and that sort, there were cultural genocide, with losses over 100 million people. Manifest destiny was a belief that Americans those days had, which was that to cross over the continent was their destiny, as in god told them to. However, this was problematic, because there were already people living in that area.

-- Your World Assignments 2
 * 1) **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?
 * 2) **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project?
 * 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 on during this project. How did you practice these life skills during this project? Be specific.

 * 1) While doing this project, the thing I found most interesting was knowing when I moved from Japan to New York, and New York to Maryland. I didn't remember any of those, because I was at a young age. I had to ask my parents because I did not remember, and it was something new for me.
 * 2) In this project, a thing I think I did well was neatness and creativity. Usually in projects I do most of the topics right, but I always lack creativity and get points taken off. So, for this project I tried my best to make it look good, not just to make the dates accurate. This does not mean I did not have the dates accurate, but comparing to my usual projects, the outside was most definitely improved.
 * 3) If I had another project like this, I would look for more information and try to get better, more important information. Some of the world events were not that famous, and I myself never heard of some. For the next project, I would put more time in researching, so I would get a 100%.
 * 4) I practiced time management. and concentrating. Once, I waited until the last minute and did not get a good grade. So, for this project I worked at home even though it was not homework, and worked on it during Eid. I practiced concentrating, because even though I am usually good at concentrating for a long period of time, my younger sister and brother kept bothering me and I had a hard time concentrating. However, I got used to all the racket and eventually my concentrating time increased.

Today was just an ordinary day, as usual. It was so boring, all I did was take care of my younger siblings, work with the sheeps, and do work on the well. Oh, and mother was angry at me, because I made my younger brother cry. Seriously! He started crying when I told him about what happened with the she-goat and the leopard. He is surely not a man yet, but not like I can have any say. I myself is not a man, but yesterday, I migt of found where the manhood training place is! When mother and father is not looking, maybe I can sneak up to that place and look if it is true or not. Oh, and lately, thought not a lot, I have been hearing rumors about one of the other tribe's people getting captured by white men. Although I have not seen any yet, I fear that they might capture us, too. But so far nothing has happened yet, and our town is really peaceful, because Allah is protecting us from the bad things of the world. I must stop here for now for I fear my brother might start crying again. Mother is sure scary when something happens to my siblings! || My manhood training has ended!! Now, I am a real man. I came back, and father gave me his __. What an honor! After he gave me the__ _, he we watched a show of women dancing, with great music an that sort. The village must be really glad that we came back as great men.Since I am a man, I must act like a man, and today when my mother tried to order me something, I yelled at her saying a woman like you shouldn't order a man like me around. She bowed to me. Oh, it is great being a man! My father built a hut for me when I went to the manhood training, and now I have a hut, so I can have wife and children. In fact, I am writing this diary in my very own hut! Oh, by the way, during manhood training, I saw while men with chained up people, from other tribes. They had dangerous things, thin, and when they made a hand motion, stuff came out the the thin thing, with fire on it. When I reported that to the wrestler and the leader, they told us to never go near white men, because they will take us to places so far we would never be able to go back again. This makes me shudder, I just became a man! I do not want the white men to force me out of my village, when I need to make children and I just got a new hut! Also, I seen the people from other tribes being hit with a stick-like thing, and it looked like it would hurt a lot! Oh, I better be careful with that. Oh no! I must stop writing for now, it seems like grandmother is coming to my tent furiously. I wonder what I did that made her that mad! || Today, I met the new captain of the slave ship, Captain Davies. I tried to boast about all my knowledge about slaves, because he really didn't seem to know much about slaves and how you tame them, capture them and have them obey you. He looked really surprised when I told him that we needed thumb screws and __. Obviously we need them, the price of the slaves will not decrease just because their thumb is not good! And of course we need to mark them, if they escape, we can still search for them, because they have a mark. Captain seemed like this was somewhat weird, but believe me, I know way more about blacks than him. I've taken 18 voyages, after all! He seemed somehow against it, but the blacks do nothing but grunt, but they are fit to work for us! Besides, the blacks should be happy that we are bringing them to america, we are introducing them to Christianity, instead of this Allah thing. Well, tomorrow we are boarding the ship, so later. || Aye, I am so frustrated! It just feels really uncomfortable, with the slaves being treated THAT bad. We need workmen, so I do not have anything against having slaves, but how the crew treats slaves it too harsh, I think. We are Christians and we have wives, so I am really against my crew raping the women slaves. I find this absolutely horrifying. This is not what the god told us! The slaves smell disgusting, I must say. The sight of them makes me feel uncomfortable. Though, it is our fault that they are like that. I do not know if I should feel that this is the right thing to do, or I should pity them? I am really starting to regret accepting this job. Oh, there's a knock on the door, and it's Mr. Slater. What does he want? ||
