So we are working on Point of View. We are doing some things with Roanoke. I chose Virginia Dare to write a journal entry on her thoughts and what happened. In her diary that I wrote she is going to explain her feelings. Here is all of her diary writing during the Roanoke time.
December 25, 1587
Dear Diary,
Okay, I know I haven't written in her for seven months but theres a lot to talk about. So Sir Walter Raleigh sent over 100 settlers to Roanoke where I live. I really hope this time it last longer. I was very sad last time when it didn't last. This is a very exciting moment to talk about. John White is the captain of this colony. I think captain White is very CRAZY! Well I don't have much to talk about, but I want to tell you more! John White is leaving tomorrow to go get supplies. I’ll talk about more later.
January 14, 1589
Okay i’m back but with bad news. John White STILL hasn't returned! I’m so sorry its been forever. I’ve been so busy! I feel really bad for the rest of the settlers. They are probably having a hard time without John White. Okay I have to go to bed sorry night!
February 17, 1590
So, today John White returned! This is a very exciting moment, I’m not really sure what happened but all the settlers are gone. I went outside to tell John White welcome back and I saw something that made me wanna cry. Okay I will tell you. The only sign of the settlers is a word called “CROATOAN” carved in a tree. I’m probably not gonna write again for awhile. I'm way too sad and my hand hurts. I will talk to you soon. OKAY? Night.
