** __Assignment 8__ **
Forced migration/relocation is when a lot of people are forced to move to another region because of policies or authorities from other places. An example of forced migration from the US history was when Native Americans were forced to move from the Northern Tier to the Western states. Forced assimilation is you are forced to change your customs and culture because of a more dominant group. An example of this in the US history is when the Native Americans had to change their ways because of the Europeans around the 1790’s. Cultural genocide is when a group of the same cultural heritage are killed. An example of cultural genocide was when Columbus first went to the Americas lots of the people there were killed because of his men. Manifest destiny is when the United States thought that they should expand throughout the whole continent. An example would be during 1843 when they tried to do this.

__Assignment 5- Diaries from Multiple Perspectives__
Davies ||= Aug. 1767 || 4. I'm on my way to Africa where we wil be getting the slaves. Mr. Slater has been telling me lots of things that I should be expecting from the Africans. Lots of the things that are being said about them is really cruel and I'm not sure if I'm comfortable to do all of it. But then again I have to do this, it is my duty. I think I have been around Mr. Slater too much. The things he says really sicken me. Also he is very annoying at times, but I guess he knows what he is doing so I should leave him alone. So, today I had a look at the lower deck, the place where all the slaves will be kept at. Thinking of how they would be living there for a few months was very revolting but I guess that would be a way of life for some people. I'm looking forward to reaching ashore to see what Africa looks like. ||
 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || 1. Today has been a very hectic day for me. During the morning I had breakfast and thought I could take the day off but father had told me to go and take care of the goats. He has been making me do this for the past week and it has been very tiring. I didn't want to do it today especially because it was very hot. I had tried to fight back but father always would get mad at me and sometimes there was just no point in doing that; listening to orders was just more quicker but more hard work. After I was done taking care of the goats and feed them I was really hungry and exhausted. I had to skip lunch because after I was done with that I had to go look for some wood for mother. When I got back home dinner was ready and mother had offered me some food. I was in joy to see some food. I gobbled it up very quickly as I was so hungry. Today wasn't the best day for me and I'm hoping that I can do less work the next few days. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 || 2. I'm back home after my manhood training. I feel like everything has changed, I have changed. Now, I feel like a real man with much more experience and authority. People like my mother have more respect for me, as I am of higher authority. But, while we were getting our training so many things had happened. I was assigned to catch a bird and as I was doing that I had seen a white man. I was so shocked to see him, as I have never seen one before. It was pretty terrifying because I was so close to him, thankfully he hadn't seen me or else terrible things would have been upon me. Other than that manhood training was pretty good for me. I feel very satisfied as I am a proper man now. ||
 * = Captain
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Dec. 1767 || 5. This is so great! I have got about 170 niggers on my ship to take back to America. Everything is going according to my plan but there is a tiny problem. Captain Davies doesn't know how to have fun. He believes that we are a Christian ship and we shouldn't be taking advantage of the women. But it doesn't matter to me, I will do what I feel like doing. The blacks are very hard to take care of. They really disgust me, they are such filthy animals. We need to provide them with so many things, but then again we are just trying to make them live //our// way. I'm just hoping rest of our trip will continue to go smoothly. ||

__Your World Assignment Two__

 * 1) **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?

While I did the project, something I found interesting was that how much has happened to me and the world in the past 13 years. It gave me a reality check because who knew so much could happen to yourself and your surroundings in a short amount of time. Also it definitely showed that time flies by really quickly.

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

Something I think I did well was label everything properly on the map and make all the continents, oceans, and symbols clear. Also I think I did a good job on making the timeline colorful.

3**. Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?

Something I would like to work on is to have used better time management skills because at one point I did everything a few days before the project was due and it took a bit more time.

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.

This project has helped me with my mapping skills, I think it has made me better with maps because before I wasn't really good at working with maps. Also this project helped me work well with my peers. It was an individual project but most of the time I would've started talking to my friends and the people around me but while I did this project I tried to contain myself so I wouldn't get distracted.
