History promt
Imagine that you live in Africa and have been captured by a slave trader and are being shipped across the Atlantic. Write a 500 to 750 word personal narrative on recording what your thoughts and experiences might be along your journey.
I am an Average College Student.
Average relates to the Arabic word awariya which means damaged merchandise. It is also simular to the word avarie, that word is French. More importantly it means damage to ship or carg. According to Webster Average origionally meant the "proportionally distributed charge for damage at sea." Taking all of that into account I am a college student worth the same as merchandies damaged at sea.
I think that fits... I mean naturally after 12 years of public education I am bound to be a little damaged. We can relate that time of my life to the sea. I prefer to think of college as the harbor.
This blog is started 1)to fullfill my history assignment 2) practice writting for english 3) be the cargo box for all of the new information I am learning.
