__Assignment 8__
Forced migration means forcibly being transfered from where you have settled into a different place. An example of forced migration is at 1830s, from the Southeast America, the Choctaw people were removed to Indian Territory. Forced assimilation means colonists forcibly making colonized people understand something that he or she don't know. For example, forced cultural assimilation took over in Korea when Japan tried to colonize Korea. Cultural genocide is destroying a entire culture. At 1492, when Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World, he colonized the land and the Europeans killed many natives. Manifest destiny is belief by Americans that they are to expand their territory. Manifest destiny was first used by Mexican democrats in 1840s. =__Your World Assignment 2__=

Now that you are finished with your poster, I would like you to reflect on this project. Please answer the following questions clearly **on your wiki page**.

1.**Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project? I found it interesting how this project made me think back at my life when I was young. I thought about the memory I had in the countries I've visited or lived in. I also got to learn about some events that happened during the time I was living in that I didn't know before.

2.**Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project? I think I didn't make my project neat but I am proud of my work since I spent a lot of time into it. I have spent a lot of time with coloring the map since I chose to color my map with color pencil.

3.**Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? I think I would need to improve on neatness so next time. This was the biggest case. I tried to write things with a pencil first then use a color pencil on it but if I do so, the time line would be messy with words written with pencil and color pencil. If I have a project like this again, I am planning to organize and plan how I am going to put things together.

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. I practiced my skills of communicating. I wrote where I have visited or lived in on my map and marked it as a legend so that other people will know where have I visited or lived in. I also practiced my skills of thinking about myself. doing this project lets me think about where I have visited before.


 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || 1. Today I ate my breakfast and ran outside to play with my friends. My mother scolded me because I didn't finish the food. I played outside with Awkta Kinta and Ana Mura. Ana Mura is a very good singer. He also can run really fast. Awkta Kinta seemed to know something called the manhood training. He said the reason why man's foto is different from a child's is because people cut it in manhood training. I am really excited about manhood training. 2 more years and I will go to manhood training camp for training. After playing with Awkta Kinta and Ana Mura, I went to where my family's goats are. I was watching the goats frolicking around the field until I saw a jaguar. It was eating the shegoat. In my anger, I used my sling shot to chase it off. After getting the wool of the goat, I told my father about the jaguar. My father suddenly got angry at me and told me how I should not fight a fierce beast by myself. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 ||  ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 || 3.Today is the worse they ever in my life. My stomach came up and I am feeling ashamed. The wrestler told me not to be ashamed for his stomach came up too. I can't believe a tough man like him can have his stomach come up. As I try my best to not get my stomach to come up, I could see other people dying and yelling in pain. Few minutes after my stomach came up, few white men came to release few of us. The white men forced us out of the boat. I was excited. I thought as soon as I on top of the canoe house, I can swim out back to my home. My hope was washed away like a footprint next to a shore when I looked around and there wasn't any land. There were water all over the place! After few minutes, me and my friends were forced to dance. As we dance we sang "Kill the white" repeatedly. Our eyes When we were done dancing, two white men brought a bucket of water and poured it at us. My scar and bruises burned like a fire when the water touched my scar! Everyone around me screamed in pain as the white men continuously poured the water to us. After washing us with that cursed water, the white men gave us some food. It was a boiled rice. I didn't want to eat anything the white men give me but the wrestler advised me to eat the rice to be strong enough to kill the white men. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 || 4. Today is the first day on the boat with Captain Davies. Captain Davies seemed nervous about putting nig in a small boat. Probably because today is his first sail for trading slaves. The boat is big enough to carry about 170 nig and bit. I think the captain doesn't know about people in the African country. There are cannibals everywhere and people stealing each other's food. Tomorrow I shall show the captain how uncivilized the black people are. ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 1767 || 5. This is horrible. The black people were forced to dance to keep them fit. They are washed with ocean water on their scars and marks made by whip. Mr. Slater offered me a "belly warmer". He wants me to allow my crews to fornicate the black teen women. Many slaves have died already. Am I really riding a boat with people who serves God? I am regretting greatly about getting this job. Dear God, please allow me to make right decisions with what I do. ||
 * = **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. ||
