**__Assignment 8__**
January 10th 2013

Forced Migration is when people have to move from their home/ territories and settle in a new land due to other people from other nations invading their land. In the US Native Indians tribes such as the Cherokee Nation, were forced by the US government under the 1830 Indian Removal Act, to move from the Eastern US to the West onto government reservations. There were many hardships for the natives, and they sometimes resulted in war. Forced Assimilation is is forcing a change in peoples values, religion and an example is between 1790 -1920 the US government put in place a policy to assimilate Native Americans by making them get a common education, removing Native children from their families to go to boarding school, making Natives go to Church and leave their tribal traditions behind. Cultural Genocide is a deliberate destruction of a race or culture and an example is the US military action agains the Sioux people at wounded knee in 1890. Manifest Destiny was a belief held by Americans politically that god planned out for them, that the US should expand across the continent and an example is, in the 1840's the US had a war against people from Mexico to expand slavery in Texas.

__**Your World Assignment 2**__
.
 * 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.

**__Answers__**
1. I found it surprising about how easy it was to do this but how much time, effort it took to decorate. 2. I think I did well calculating the kilometers from my birth place to three other difference countries. 3. I think for the next project I do, I should make sure I do everything in pencil first so in case I mess up it will be easier to fix. 4. I think the first life skill I practiced time management. I practiced this skill because I had to break up my time to see how long it would take me and how long I had to work on it each day, in order to complete this project. The second life skill I practiced was seeing if I could follow instructions. Mr Tabbara gave us access to him wiki to check instructions and details how to do good in this project. So, if you were paying attention and followed instruction you would do better than not checking the wiki.


 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || 1. My day was so awesome! I had the same routine as I always had every morning of my life. Helping my mom, taking care of the animals as they were eating in the fields, play with my little brother and collecting fire wood for the fire. Today was the hottest day to work in so I didn't work my best and I got a lecture from my dad about something I did today. Before anything bad happened, I was hanging out with my friends before I spotted a leopard eating one of my sheep. I wanted to stop the leopard so I used my slingshot to throw something at it. The first time it didn't move, and it looked at me like it was going to harm me. I was scared but I used my slingshot again and this time the leopard ran away. I told my dad about what had happened and showed him the sheep's skin and he told me to never approach an animal without a strong weapon. Also he had to show me what happened to him when he tried to approach and animal when he was my age. I thought my dad should have been proud of me for using a slingshot to scare away a leopard but instead he told me wrong so I can learn from my mistakes.I was pretty angry with him! I helped my mom with cooking, chores around the house and played with my brother who doesn't do very much. That kept my dad out of my mind. When I finished helping my mom I had free time so I sat next to the place where my sheep died and started thinking. I have been wondering about man hood training ever since i've heard someone else talking about it in the village. I wonder what its like, and I want to start the training even if its going to be hard and scary. Uhhhh its my dad again wanting me to do something for mother. Bye! ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 || 3. I know that my people will come to save me. Or Allah will help me from these terrible people. I shouldn't have wondered off by self but it felt great to wonder off as a grown man. The people that captured me also captured the wrestler I saw during my man hood training. At least I know someone on this ship, as I suffer. We black africans are chained us down like so close to each other and we can't even sit up! It smells so bad in here, with puke everywhere. Today we got to go up outside to the ships deck. The mean white people just like used this metal thing and put into a whole in the lock, it opened and the metal rope let go of our feet, and the white people just threw us on the ground. Then they dragged us, up the stairs so we could dance to some music and to get washed out. I will kill them. I will escape They pored sea water, the kind of water that burns your skin if it touches your wounds. It hurt so much and now my whole body is in pain. The only person I talk to is the wrestler and he tells me to eat my food so we can be strong and the girl Fanta I look at her but don't really talk. The wrestler and I have this plan to escape and kill the white people. Bye for now! ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 || 4. Captain Davies! That man has no clue whats hes doing. I know how to trade slaves, how the slaves think and I can speak their language. But Captain Davies he just wants to be nice to the slaves and he has no ideas what so ever, so I give him all of the ideas and he just agrees with me. This also Captain Davie's first time going to Africa and I think thats why he always asks for more rum to drink.Down below the ship there are 170 slaves, and if they misbehave or cause us any trouble we have torture tools that press on their thumbs and burn them. The African's are like pets, you command them and they do what you ask them. I have a feeling that Captain Davies doesn't think like me about how to deal with the slaves or doesn't feel comfortable trading the slaves. I am doing the slaves a favor, teaching them about Christianity and we will open a whole new door to them with technology and culture. I would have fit much more slaves into the bottom of the ship because lots will die and I need as much slaves to sell as possible! The black people try to get loose, make grunt noises and try to fight us white people but they should just give up because they will never escape even if they are strong workers. Aye Captain Davies, im coming. Bye! ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 1767 || 5. I wish I had never taken on this voyage. I miss my wife and kids.I know that I shall not quit because it brings lots of money to my family and God is helping me through this.And that Mr Slater, hes one, strange evil man. The only reason that I am letting him do what ever he wants and how he wants with little criticism is because he has been on many of these voyages before so he knows best. I find it disturbing to see how the only way the African's can meet Mr. Slater's standards are to whip and to torture them. We feed them so little and plain food to them and where the African's stay, its really smelly that I can barely go down there.I accepted this voyage so I have to deal with it. While I was in my room, taking off my wig. Mr. Slater brought in this terrified women into my room and he suggested I used her as a bed warming technique. ( sex slave). I am not a type of guy that messes around like that and as a Christian it is a sin.I tried to talk to her but it looked like she didn't understand my language. I have a long journey ahead of me. I must sleep now. Aye! ||
 * = **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. ||
