 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< 1. I am thirteen right now. Every day I do my work. My work is to help out my family, and help with getting food and fire wood. Today I tried hunting a sheep. I wanted to make my family proud. It was already dead when I found it. It was getting eaten by a leopard. I wanted to get the sheep, so I used my sling shot to scare away the leopard. It took a few times, and eventually the leopard went away. When I took the goat to my father, he was not happy. He said that I had put myself in harms way. He said never to go near a dangerous animal. I knew what I did was wrong. I just wanted to make my family proud. I hope I get to do these things some day. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 ||< 2. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 3. How could I be so stupid to be out alone, when I was told not to be? I hate it in here. We have to lay down all the time on hard wooden shelves that are stacked up to the ceiling. We lie so close to each other, and I feel so suffocated. We are chained to each other, so that we cannot escape, or move that much. It feels as if I am stuck in this place forever. We are showered with salt water, and it stings and burns the places that we were whipped. ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Aug. 1767 ||< 4.I don't know if what is happening is right and okay, and it's confusing me. I don't know if it's okay to be using the African as slaves. And Mr. Slater is torturing them. Using all these tools just to hurt them, and treat them badly. Mr. Slater has told me things. Things like the Africans are cannibals, and they are uncivilized and made to be slaves. They don't seem that bad to me. And they don't even seem dangerous or anything. Mr. Slater is being really cruel to them. I feel like he is enjoying it. I feel really bothered by this. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 5. I am trying to help Captain Davies understand how things work on these kinds of voyages. I don't think he is comfortable with the niggers, but he will learn. I think he is getting better, and I'm glad that this is happening. He is finally treating the blacks like they should be treated. I gave him a bed warmer that night, and I think he used her. The next morning morning something happened. The niggers hit all of us white men. They took over. I don't know how they did it but they did. I tried to fight back, but they got me, and they killed me. ||

__Your World Assignment Two__

 * 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 during this project. How did you practice these life skills during this project? Be specific.

1. Something that I found it interesting while working on this project is that we have advanced so fast over the last 13 years. How they keep coming up with new stuff, and it happened really fast.

2. One thing i did well on this project is that I kept everything organized, and neat. I think my project was easy to understand. The labels for the oceans, and the continents were clear.

3. Something that I would do differently next time is do everything that the teacher said to do. Like I forgot to put a title and that was a really simple thing.

4. Time management, because I had to work well in class so that I didn't need to take it home for home work, and so that I got it done before the due date. The other skill that i worked on while doing this project was mapping things. Like I was not really sure on how to do this, but doing this project made me realized its not that hard.
