you will write three journal entries from the point of view of a European who has reached the Americas. What are your motivations for exploring the Americas? What and whom do you encounter there? How do your actions impact the Americas and your homeland?
Your completed journal must:
include three one-paragraph journal entries
in the first entry include a description of your objectives and motivations for exploring and settling in the Americas

in the second entry include a description your encounters in the Americas (be sure to describe interactions with Native Americans)

Answer 11

Oh, alright. Well, you'll need to lengthen the size and I'd suggest that the first entry be changed. I don't think you are supposed to be the founder of the Americas, only an average European on your trip there. So say you came from England/Germany/France to find a new plot and work for, say, the Hudson's Bay Company. You'll be travelling alone, since the fare is expensive and you want to settle before bringing your family. You wish to see Beavers or Bison in real life and are mighty excited. You may also be thinking of sending a few pelts home, for your wife, since she loves the new fashion.
Then the second entry can be about settling, hiring a few hands to work on building a home with you, and also beginning to trade with them. This can show your initial reaction to their odd ways and looks.
In the last, it can be a few months later and can explain your newfound respect/hate for the Native Americans because they are either familial and have a sense of community or you hate them because they are savages and drunk. Then explain what you noticed the impact of trade has on them, like they now where cheap beads, drink alcohol, and shoot with guns, or you can say the affect it has on Europeans like yourselves.
