Assignment 5

 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || 1. Today, it was just a normal day. I had a lot of fun with my friends. I helped my mother in cooking, and played with my brother. He doesn't talk much but it was still fun. Unfortunately today a cheetah killed one of our goats. I tried to get it with my slingshot but it was too late. I felt sad for the goat. It was really difficult for me to tell everything to my father. I thought that he would punish me and won't let me play with my friends for a few days, but instead he just scolded me for going too close to the cheetah because it could have killed me too. He was a little angry but hopefully he will forgive me after a few days. I know I should be more careful. I still have a lot to learn. I wonder when I will start my manhood training. I heard a lot of things about it but I want to go there and start my training. I think I am ready for it. I am so excited. Now I have to go. Mother is telling me to go to bed, so bye diary. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 || 3. Life has been terrible since the white men kidnapped me. Its been hell in this canoe house. They whip us, treat us like dogs, call us monkeys, and my stomach comes up every time I eat their food. Its so uncomfortable lying down here for the whole day and when we get out, they make us dance, put salty water on us and laugh at us as our scars burn. I get scared every time a person dies and always wonder what would happen to my parents if I died. I don't want to live like this. I want to go back home. I want to jump in the water and swim back. I miss my parents, my family and my friends. Well some of my friends are here with me like the wrestler, Fanta etc. I can't believe that even the wrestler who is so strong, couldn't fight the white men. They must be very strong if they killed Fanta's father and caught the wrestler. We also made a plan and tried to fight the white men but a lot of people got shot by the gun and it just made things worse. Now everything is in Allah's hands. Only he knows what is going to happen. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 || 1. We should be reaching Africa by tomorrow. I hope we get lots of n**.** Captain Davies told me that I will look after the slaves because I know more than him, and its his first time traveling. I think that for some reason, he doesn't seem comfortable in bringing the slaves but I believe that it will be better for them. If they will come with us then they will learn our religion, know more about Christianity instead of that stupid Allah. They don't have any technology or culture or even a language. If they come with us then they will learn and see so many things which they can't even imagine. Its a great opportunity for them but they don't understand that. They create a fuss about it and look at us like we did something wrong. Its not our fault, its just how it is. They are born to be slaves. N are strong but they are slow at thinking. If they will scream or shout then I would have to hurt their thumbs or cut their ears or fingers. I have to see how many Africans we can fit in, and maybe I would make their beds smaller, so that more people fit in. Also I have to make sure that most of them stay alive. I have lots of work to do. Bye diary. ||
 * = Captain Davies. ||= Dec. 1767 || 2. I don't feel good about everything that is happening with the slaves. Its not right. My god doesn't allow me to do these stuff. He doesn't allow me to fornicate with another lady. Its a crime. I was so happy when I got this job, I wanted it so badly but now I don't want to do it anymore. I thought that this job will get me lots of money and make me happy but I feel sad when the slaves het tortured. I miss my wife, my kids and my family. I want to go back to them. I don't want to stay here but I can't do anything about it. This job will give me a lot of money and I don't have another option besides doing this. I have to do this. Yesterday, during the fight, a slave threw a knife at Mr. Slator. We are trying our best to save him but we don't think he will survive. Maybe he is paying for his sins and for all the bad stuff he did to the slaves. I wonder what will they try to do next. Well, its getting late, I have to sleep. Goodnight. ||
