2. Yes i would be willing to join a revolution if the goverment didnt do what they do for us.

Assignment 7

Incidents in the life of a slave girl
What did you learn about life in the colonies from reading this document?

That back in slavery days, slaves had a hard time. The way slaves were treated so cruel and unfair is terrible but there were some mistress who had kind hearts. I also learned that it was no such thing as trust or promises with a Mister or Mistress back in slavery days. The trust and promises that were between the two would be false promises and trust but there were few who tried to make things right. One of the worst thing I really thought was not a nice look was that when someone in your family died you couldn't’t even go see your loved ones for comfort.
What surprised you the most about what you read?

The most surprising thing that caught my eye through the reading was that there were a few who did care or had little sympathy. Another interesting was that slaves were cheated of hard earning when the mistress and masters knew the earned what they had truthfully. The number one thing that makes me happy and surprise me the most is the fact the mistress and misters never wanted to hear anything about God or anything to deal with the lord they always walked away.

Compare and contrast the differences between American life today and for American life during the colonial era.
The difference between these two different centuries is that in today’s society the things that happened in the slave age couldn't’t happen now it would be nothing but a big war. Definitely not a good one the way things are know are so out of control that no mistress and masters could control the African American people because of the way we (African American) are raised these days. For example the way they try and cheat you out of your hard works earning African Americans these day’s will kill and fight for their things so cheating us out of earning in this day of age is out of question. Really and truly there is no explaining between the way things were then and how they are now let’s just say we, (African Americans) in this century would never bow down to the way things were then. Let’s say it a new breed of African Americans now. Back in slavery time majority of us would probably be killed or punished a lot.

1st Assignment

Assignment#1:

1.Most people come to the U.S. today because of the fact we have more freedom. The U.S. also have better qualities and other things that may be needed.Coming here to the U.S. immigrants gain more freedom and happiness.But the bad thing is sometimes immigrants coming to the U.S. effect the Americans life style. By that I mean for an example when Hispanics come over they don't pay taxes and the Americans basically take care of them out of their taxes which is unfair when they have the ability to drive nice cars and things with no problem but on the other hand , us the Americans struggle to have a nice car. This is just my opinion, others may think different.



2.If I could move any where it would be a nice place where I can have freedom that may not be given in the united states.As you can see I would immigrate for both reason freedom and economic purposes. I would do both because I would like to see what the differences is money wise and freedom wise.Where would i like to go I'm not sure but I don't wanna be any where, where there is not allot of violence. To make a long story short I would like to be some where that I wouldn't have to worry about much but happiness.
