Empathy

  

 I think the boy in the cartoon is sad because he couldn't play football with his friends because he has to make football.

I think he wants to be free from making football and wants to play football with his friends because he look so sad when he is making football and he is thinking of his friend playing football.

To help him we could put a new law saying that you cannot make children making football or other work when they don't want to.

 

Slave Diary

Diary entry 1 

 Life in my village was as usual. I played with my friends and worked when it was time to work. I planted crops and other stuffs.  

One day, I decided to go hunting with my friends because I wanted to show my parents, I was a man now. While hunting in the forest, I met a leopard so I tried to threw my spear at it but it was too fast so I ran to my house as fast as I can.

When my parents and our tribes heard about the story they were angry at me, but they were very nice to me once again. But only my father was still angry at me so he sent me to the training station. For a few days I stayed in there training fighting and other stuffs.

When I came back from the training station, I became a real man and now I knew I was happy to be with my family because there were some white people outside trying to catch our people to sell as a slave.

Diary entry 2

While I was playing with my friend in the forest, all of us saw white people running to us so we started running away from them as fast as we can but there were white people in front of us too. So we got caught.

The guy who captured me was white who had long hair and some hairs  from  the  nose. There were also few people who were same tribe as me but I had never seen them before.

We were taken to the ship and there were many people like us in the ship. They said that we were going to be sold as a slave then I started to cry because of the thought of I can’t meet my parents again.

Diary entry 3

I was kept under first floor where I was chained. I could smell some nasty smell and some weird smell which was cigarette. I could feel the cold floor. I heard the white people laughing from the top floor.

After like 3 hours some crews came out and took us to the top floor. I could only saw the water all around. The captain first mate was cruel and his breath stunk and I felt angry at him. Suddenly from behind us there were splash of cold water going inside the cut that crews made and it hurted a lot and they forced me to dance. Then they put us in the down floor again.

When it was night, they gave us some slimy food which was bad. After I ate all of the disgusting foods I turned right to see my friend but I saw a dead friend next to me. I screamed like a girl then the white people came down and took my dead friend away and threw him into the sea. I was so scared but my other friends who was right above me calmed me down.

Next day in the morning, I ate the same foods and the day was hard. I felt I didn’t want to live anymore.

Diary Entry 4

Next day I and my friends and my tribes were taken to the upstairs and we could see the land again but it was different from my land. There were lot of people and lots of markets. We were put into wooden jail. There was a stage quite close to our wooden jail.

Next day in the morning there was a guy on a stage and there were lots of people infront of the stage listening to his words. One man who was beside the man on a stage came to us and dragged on of my friends to the stage. The white people started to check his teeth and his body. Then the guy started to speak some words in a strange way and some people started to raise their hands.

I felt so scared. Next the white people started to drag me to the stage. I tried to block them but eventually I was dragged on the stage. I was checked like my friend. Then I was back into the wooden jail again.

Diary entry 5

I was sold to a big white man and I was whipped whenever I rest. In the morning I sold foods outside and in the noon I did some plantation and in the afternoon I milked cows and stuff like that. I could rest only four hours a day and if the moon was bight enough to see, I had to work.

Next day and the next day was usual. One day me and my friends decided to run away and before running away we decided to kill our owner first so we crept to the kitchen room and took a knife and crept to our owner's bedroom where he was sleeping and stabbed him.

Then I ran away with my friends.
