Assignment 2: Tweets from the Past

__Assignment 8__
Forced migration is the movement of a large group of people from one place to the other. An example of forced migration would be when the Chocotaw people were forced to move to the east of the Mississippi river. Forced assimilation is when people have to change their ideas and culture under pressure. This happened when George Washington and Henry Knox started making the native Americans more like the Europeans. Cultural genocide is the mass killing of an entire cultural group of people. An example of this would be when the United States military killed off the Sioux. Manifest destiny was the Americans' belief that the United States was destined to spread throughout the continent. Texas had made it a separate state from Mexico and had joined the U.S.

__ Your World Assignment 2 __ 1. I was surprised about all the places I've been to because I don't have a really good memory so some of the places I didn't even know that I went there. The thing that surprised me the most was how many places I've never been to, and I have never been to Africa, Australia, South America, and Antarctica. Those are four continents out of 7 that I've never visited. I used to think I travel a lot, but now I know that there is still a lot I have to see.

2. I think I did pretty good on my timeline except for maybe my drawings and coloring. I made sure each line segment was exactly the same distance. When I was trying to draw my line straight down the middle of the paper, I noticed that my paper wasn't exactly even, so I had to be really careful while drawing my timeline. This is why I think I did a good job on making my timeline.

3. One thing I would want to improve would definitely be my coloring and pictures. On the map I don't really think I colored the continents and oceans really well. Also my drawings on my timeline looks like a third grader drew them. I know I could have done better in that if I had just been a bit more concern about it, but I was mostly focused on getting the other work done in time.

4. Two life skills I think I practiced during this project was decision making and time management. I think I used decision making because I had to decide which colors to use, which events in my life to use, and which world events to use. I think I used time management because I had to make sure I used my time wisely and I did not procrastinate.

Today was probably the worst day of my life. I've never been so tired, scared, and angry in my entire life. I was so tired and angry because father made me take care of the goats, and get firewood for mother. I normally agree to help them, but today was so hot that once I walked out I swear my skin was sizzling. I tried to reason with my father, that it was too hot to work this much, but he wouldn't listen. He told me that, "When I was your age I used to work more than you." If that is not bad enough, a leopard killed a goat today. I was so scared! I've never seen a goat get killed, and the leopard nearly killed me. I felt bad though, I could have saved the leopard, but I didn't because I was scared. Oh well, I guess I will have to live with regret for the rest of my life. Goodnight, Kunte Kinte || I feel defeated. I'm chained, sick, and hurt, and I've never felt so much shame in my life. I am a man, I knew better not to go out alone. If only I had someone with me when I went to go make my baby brother a drum. Now, I am a white man's slave, trapped with other Africans. The stench of puke and blood is filling up the air, and I am not sure if I can survive. Wait, no I won't think like this. I am a man now, I did not spend all my manhood training to be captured and then to just give up. No matter how much pain and misery is filling up my body, I will not give up hope. Allah is watching me. I know Allah is. Goodnight, Kunte Kinte || I cannot wait until we get to Africa! I can already see those blacks trying to run away from me, but that wouldn't be much use to them. I remember the last time I was on a voyage like this I could smell the sweat and blood of the slaves, and I'm hoping to smell that again. Maybe this time they know how to talk, instead of just those dumb grunts and groans. Oh I am so ready to teach them about Christianity, and they can forget about that other religion of theirs. I can't shake the feeling that Captain Davies is not as excited about this as I am. I should be the captain of this ship, he seems too weak. I'm going to sleep now, and have happy dreams of the slaves working. Goodnight, Mr. Slater || I am on my way back now. We have collected all the slaves, and are on our ship. The slaves smell of vomit, and look tired and bloody. Today I was ashamed of my crew, and I never thought that it would happen. My crew is using the African women as sex slaves. I thought we were a Christian ship, I do not believe this is right! Then again, Mr. Slater had a point. The men on this ship need something to do for the entire time we are on the water. I don't care though, because once we get back, I can go see my wife and kids. I am missing them dearly. Goodnight, Capt. Davies ||
