What it's like as a slave (for a day.)
Chapter 1:The horrible attack.
It all started out on a normal day in West Africa. I was in my house playing with my friend, when all of a sudden I heard some gunshots and a women screaming next door, when someone from the next nearby village bust down my door and grabbed me ,and my friend ,and 5 more men came in and ran inside for my family. Me and my friend started to scream, but the man told us that if we continue to scream, he would kill us, so we stopped screaming and we were quiet the rest of the long trip we were on.
Chapter 2:The chain journey to the coast.
40 minutes later, me and my friend and family were chained together with wrist chains and ankle chains. We were forced to walk like 40 miles to the coast, so we could be put on a ship that had other people on it.We were halfway there when suddenly my friend fainted on the ground like that. Then the man said,"Who fainted!!!" and I was brave enough to say,"My friend, sir.""Well wake her up if you can and let's get moving.""We don't have much time."So I started to wake her up, and she woke up saying,"What happened?!" then I said,"You fainted. That's what happened."" And the guy said to wake you up as soon as possible.""So I did." Half an hour later, we arrived at this strange place with these strange people who were going to take my friend and my family, and me of course, to this odd place these so called Americans call, North America.
Chapter 3:The ship ride to a new world.
While on the ship, my friend was reunited with her family because they separated my friend from my family and then.... My father just started to scream and then two guards came and said,"Be quiet!!!!!!" and hit him with the bottom of their guns.Then I screamed and one the guards turned around and slapped me hard.Then I did nothing ,but sit next to my older brother,and my mom.
Chapter 4:My arrival in America.
One morning at dawn, it had been 6months or so, or at least it felt like it.I heard some man scream, "Land Hooo!!!!" Then some man came in the gigantic room of like 2600 slaves and said,"Wake up all of ya." and some other guy came behind him with a whip as long as a boa constrictor. So my family got off the ship and knew we were going to have to start our new lives here in what the Americans called,"America".
