How is this so far? and what else should i add, i need two pages and i have only one done, due today. help? I'm doing like a journalist.
I Josephine A. Walker was a slave for Harry Richardson. Every morning I had to serve him, I had to be up by 4am and was unable to go to bed till 12am midnight. I had to cook, clean and do anything I was told, If I didn’t obey his orders were to me to get beaten with a whip as a punishment.
I work for many years hoping one day I will be able to be my own person. I would cry nightly and pray for freedom, during the years of 1860 through 1863 I was able to listen to radio, so I got to hear what’s going on, in the outside world.
On 11-06-1860 Abraham Lincoln who was elected president declared government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free. Abraham Lincoln issues the emancipation proclamation 01-01-1863 free slave.
By me hearing this I was thinking there was hope in ending all of as slave, not just picking certain ones to be free, but deep inside I knew it was still going to take time. On March 04, 1861 Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as the 16th president of the United States.
When I listened to the radio hearing this it was the first time in a long time I was able to smile knowing hope for my future words near. I continued doing my daily’s orders and waiting for days to past quickly, Day and nights came Mr. Richardson became more abusive for the little’s mistakes.
Finally on 1863 the best news
for any slavery (we were) finally free. We can be are own person, many blacks ran to the roads and were happy to be free at last.
i need two pages long, and only have one. anyone has anything i can add in or links? storys i can read about and put into so it can make since.
what i'm suppose to do..
In this portfolio assignment, you have chosen an event from the Civil War or pre-war era, have taken notes on this event, and now will take on a persona from the event. For example, you could choose to portray a Union soldier at Gettysburg, a plantation owner's wife during Sherman's March to the Sea, or a slave hearing about the Emancipation Proclamation. You will create a two-page narrative that demonstrates the important facts about the event through the eyes of your chosen person
