__Your World Assignment 2__ Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project? The thing I found most interesting in my project was that I visited so many places but just didn't realize it. And that so many things happened in the world and I didn't even know about it.

Explain one thing you think you did well in this project? I think I did my map pretty well like my compass rose, my legend and my coloring. It was one of my neatest work.

Explain

one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this. I would improve my timeline by making the handwriting more neat and make it more colorful and add pictures.

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. I think I practiced being independent and time management. Although this was a easy project I had to manage my time because I had other classes homework to do and sometimes I procrastinate. Independence because this was a project I had to do alone and if i had a problem i had to fix it myself.


 * Roots** **Diary Entries**
 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< Today was a tiring day for me as always. I was playing with my friends in the morning, then mother called me to finish my breakfast. While I was eating breakfast, I told mother and father about our goats and was happy to tell them that our she-goat's belly is growing and will have a baby soon. Mother reminded me to feed the goats when I was leaving the hut. I did not want to feed the goats today as I wanted to have a day to take some rest and have fun with friends. Later on, I was with my friend and the goats, when I heard a leopard. I ran to where the noise was coming from and I saw the leopard eating the flesh of the she-goat. I was very scared of the leopard but I was also very mad so I used my slingshot to drive it away. I was very disappointed and sad that the she-goat had been killed and will not have babies. This does not usually happen to our goats. I then had to get some fire wood for Mother. After all my work was done for the morning, I was very hungry. Luckily, lunch time came by quick and I could eat some food. By the time night came by,I was very tired and I was hoping I could take some rest tomorrow and I could spend some more time with my friends. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< Being capture by these white men have been very bad. We are on this very big canoe house which is very scary. They chained our ankles and our hands on this wooden bed inside the canoe house. This wooden bed was not like a normal bed, it could hold many, many people and there were beds stacked on top of each other. Sometimes I get this feeling where i'm getting pins on my body, and my hands and ankles hurt from the chains. It was very crowded since they took a lot of us. They give us food but not that much, and the food doesn't taste like anything which makes it very hard to eat at times. Sometimes my stomach comes up which I feel is very shameful. They take us up to the top of the canoe house every few days, and they pour buckets of water on us to try to clean us. It is not a great way because we aren't that clean when they finish and that water stings us. They also make us go up to top of the canoe house to make us dance. I don't know why they like this. I am still very scared and I really want to get off this canoe house and go back to my tribe. Please Allah, help us get out. ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Aug. 1767 ||< I am finally on the ship to go to Africa. I just hope that it won't be really bad bringing slaves as I feel uncomfortable doing so because it is very cruel and I don't think they should do anything of their free will. I am the captain of the ship and as captain, my only job is to get us there and back so I won't have to deal with the slaves. Mr. Slater has already been to 18 voyages like this so he is the expert below decks with the slaves so he'll deal with them. He is very cruel to blacks which I also find uncomfortable. When I was checking off the stuff we had for the slaves, I heard about the thumbscrews. I thought it was a very cruel punishment for the slaves but Mr. Slater told me we had to, to keep the slaves from getting out of order. I visited below the decks once and it made me feel very uncomfortable, I thought it was a very dark and sad place to be. I hope I never have to go down there again. I am starting to regret coming on this voyage. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Dec. 1767 ||< We are on our way back to England. I can't wait to be back. I hated that damn place with all those nis. I have a really bad feeling about this batch of blacks. They've been pretty hard to handle and they looked at me like they wanna kill me real bad. Some of my workers are pathetic, they let some of the nis jump off the ship. So I had to beat the crap out of them workers. While the blacks were exercising, some of them jumped on to one of my men that had the key! Those sons of bi! They unlocked themselves and started to fight so we started to fight back. My men were trying to kill/hurt them. So I had to keep screaming to tell them to stop but they still wouldn't listen. I don't care about those nis but no one will pay for them if they can't work. I see this big black coming at me so I pull up my gun as fast as I can. The last thing I see is a knife in me. ||
 * = **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. ||
