__** Your World Assignment 2 **__
While I was writing my timeline I had completely forgotten the past. I realised I was living only in the present.
 * 1.Explain ** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?

For example, I had forgotten the year I started going to school or the year I came to Bangladesh. As I started writing personal events I also started remembering those years as though they were only yesterday.


 * 2.Explain ** one thing you think you did well in this project?

I think I did well decorating my project. I am not the most artistically advanced person so I think I did a pretty good job in the artistic part of the project for someone of my standard.

One thing I'd need to improve if I did another project similar to this would be to make my world events more brief than they were on my current project. I think it would make it look neater.
 * 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. a)**Time Management**- I had a given amount of time to finish this project and it was up to me how to utilise that time in the best way to deliver the best results possible. I think I utilised my time averagely because I had to come in during lunch the day it was due to  finish it. However, I did not procrastinate.  b)**Research**- In life, researching is very important. It gives people important data and information about a certain subject. During the course of this project, I had to find at least 7 major world events that happened from 1999-2012. So I did research finding important world events during that time and selected the most important ones according to me. c)**Decision-Making**- In life making choices is part of a daily routine. It affects the way we continue to live our lives. In this project, I had to select 7 major world/personal events and had to select from a wide number of choices. For example, in the year 2006, Saddam  Hussein was sentenced to death but also it was the year of the fifa world cup. I chose to include the fifa world cup in my timeline  because football matters more to me than Saddam Hussein.

__Assignment 5- Diaries from Multiple Perspectives__

 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< 1. Good grief! I am exhausted because today I helped my father build huts boats, I helped my mother carry gallons of water around our whole village and then my friends and I played a game using our feet to kick coconuts to each other. My whole body is sore so I should probably ask my mom to rub some herbal ointment on me. I've been noticing that my father is starting to lose his strength and stamina bit by bit as today he could only build a quarter of a boat before he went back to our hut. Maybe it was the enervating heat that caused him to back, at least I hope so. Nowadays the heat is terrible; we should think of something that would make us feel a little less hot. Maybe a lighter fabric for our clothing would do he trick; I don't know. As for me, I built a whole boat and the roof of one and was later awarded with the praises of men I had been working with. I must go now because it is time for me to pray. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 ||< 2. Manhood training is finally over. I dreamt of the day I'd become a man, and now that day his come. However, I'm worried because during my manhood training, when I was sent to catch a bird I grabbed sight of white men. I saw white men taking fellow black men, tied with chains so they couldn't run away. I'm pretty sure that those white men will take the fellow African men to their land and make them work as slaves. I told Kintango that I saw white men and he was pretty shook up. He warned everybody to always be in company of at least one or more persons at all times. But apart from that life is amazing; no more do I have to do what my mother tells me to and no more do I have to live in the same hut as my parents. I've got my own privacy and I can't wait to explore this lifestyle further more. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 3. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 ||< 4. On my way to my nineteenth trip to Africa, where the niggers believe in a heathen man called Allah. Niggers are men of a lesser god, men that deserve to work under us whites, and men that are here on this planet to do nothing else than work. Black men should honour us whites for we take them to Europe and New World, giving them a taste of heaven, rather than the rotten hell they live in now(Africa). Captain Davies and myself were having a talk about the blacks, surprisingly he had never met or seen one before, it is his lack of experience that questions me about his ability to accomplish our mission. Except that, he seems like fine, old and educated man to me. Anyways, I can't wait to get my hands dirty in that large mud-pile and take a few black pigs back to the New World. I don't think we will have any problems or complications on this voyage but then again, one never knows except god. ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 5. We're on our way back to the New World. Mr. Slater and I have taken 170 health African men and women. Now, I don't know how many of them are going to be alive by the time we reach the New World. I mean, their living conditions are, well, let's just say calling it pathetic would be complementing it. Men and women are lying in dark chambers; locked by chains on their ankles and necks. They are puking left, right and center. Not to mention, they are scared to pits. Personally, I think Mr.Slater is an emotionless and demented man. It seems to me that he couldn't care less of how miserable the Africans are feeling. Though, I hear that Africans are meant only to be slaves makes me think that if I believe so I'd be naive. I mean, one can't discriminate an entire people just because of the color of their skin. I hope one day everybody will unite as one people; regardless of the color of their skin, their gender and even their health status because then and only then will the world be able to progress. ||
 * = **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. ||
