__Assignment 8__
Forced migration is the movement of people away from their home forcibly and/or violently to a new place and settle there. An example of this is when the native Americans were forced to move to a designated location away from the western and northern states. Forced assimilation is when one group is forced to take on/adapt another groups cultural characteristics, their old culture is then forgotten. One example of this is when the US forced the native American culture to be European-American culture, which happened the years of 1790-1920. Cultural genocide the killing of masses of people due to their culture and one example is in the 1890’s when many of the Sioux people had been killed by the United States military. Manifest Destiny is the belief that Americans were to spread across he whole continent politically, socially, and economically. One example of this is in the 1840s when the United States had a war with Mexico to expand slavery in Texas.

__Your World Assignment 2__

I really felt like i understood more about the world events and learnt more about all the things I researched. For example for the Earthquake and tsunami in Japan i learnt that 15,840 people died and leaving another 3,926 missing.
 * 1. Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?

I feel like i put a lot of time and effort into the timeline. I put a lot of color and it is really easy to understand.
 * 2. Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project?

To try not to wrinkle my map, be more careful. When I role it up and put on the rubber band I take my time and put it on right so it doesn't get wrinkled.
 * 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. One thing i defiantly learnt was Problem Solving, when i messed up on my poster and either wrote, spelled, or just simply did something wrong i had to figure out how to fix it. Another life skill would be time management. I had to learn how to manage my time properly and not leave all the work for he last day. Both of these skills can I carry all the way through life because they are important for all kinds of jobs.

 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || Finally, my day is over. I just finished eating a delicious dinner with my family. After finishing all my work for today I can now do whatever I want to do. My day has been quite busy, I had to first eat all my breakfast, then I had to help my mom with some things, after that I went to heard the sheep. It was quite unexpected when I was talking to one of my friends a cheetah attacked one on the female sheep. I aimed my sling shot at the cheetah and the cheetah then ran quickly away, but I was too late, the sheep was already dead. When I showed the dead sheep to Father he was not sad, but he was not ok with me being so close to the cheetah. He said it was very dangerous and showed me his scar from which he had gotten from a dangerous animal. He told me I have much to learn before I become a man. Everyone says that, I don’t know what they mean. Ok I have to go, see you soon, Kunte Kinte. ||

 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 || 3. This is horrid, what has Allah done to us, brought upon us and made us live through?! I’m lying flat on planks of wood with nearly no space at all, with puce all over myself, it stinks here and I’m chained by my ankles and my wrists. I am stuck in this big canoe house. They treat us like we are animals; they make us start dancing whenever they want. I try to escape but I fail all the time, the things I have around my ankles and wrists are impossible to break out! There are 170 slaves lying beside me and on the next floor in the canoe house. I’m always hungry, the food they give us is horrible and disgusting its mashed corn, millet or boiled rice on a plate, the same things every day. Every time I eat this disgusting food from the white men my stomach rumbles and it all comes up again. Its hard because they treat us like dogs, whip us, and call us monkeys. The place we stay is always very dark, there is rarely any light coming in. I always feel sick. I miss everyone so much and I want to go back, and one day I will!
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 || 4. Another long boat trip, its my 19th time to Africa and everything is going smoothly as planned. Im now on the boat and I cant wait until all the niggers are on the boat and I make my money. Niggers are the ones who only talk in grunts and groans, they act/ are like dogs. I mean they have //much// to learn from us people in England. When they arrive in England I hope they learn some manners, I mean they are actual cannibals. We have all the materials needed on the boat, chains and of course the thumb screw,always needed! There are so many of those Niggers, 170, Capt.Davies means that a lot will die of, and I agree with him. There is not much room down there in the celler, they puke on each other, and of chores they are chained both by the ankles and wrists. Poor Mr.Davis he says he does not drink but sure is now. I think its because of the stress and he is not used to the idea of Niggers. I have to go help Mr.Davis now with the Niggers, so ill say bye, Goodbye,
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 1767 || 5. Oh, how i regret this, I wish I never took this command on this ship. I miss Elizabeth and the children very much and I hate to be away from them for this long. I know now that I will never do this kind of voyage anymore. It is horrid under there, in the canoe house. I cannot bare, the smell of those Niggers, they stink! There are 170 of them, or at least there was when we started, a lot of them are dead. When someone dies it is horrible, we just throw him or her overboard into the water. Mr. Slater thought it was a good idea for me to fornicate with a girl who was a little older than our daughter; he called belly warming. I said I didn’t think it was a good idea because it is against Christianity. I hope god will forgive me for doing this sin. All this pressure is not good for me. Soon we are home and I hope most of the slaves will still be alive and strong to be sold. ||
 * = **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. ||
