Unit two: Journal account and historical narrative

1. I think this unit will be about king and queens in the really back days. This will be one of the most interesting units i would what to say. It will tell you what people lived back in thoes day i would say.


2. The General Historie of Virginia
i.subjective-From May to September, those that escaped lived upon sturgeon and sea crabs. Fifty in this time we burried; the rest seeing the President's projects to escape these misseries in our pinnance by flight (who all this time had neither felt want or sickness) so moved our dead spirits as we deposed him and established Ratcliffe in his place...
* This is a subjective because he is saying what happen during those months.


   objective-Six or seven weeks those barbarians kept him prisoner, many strange triumphs and conjurations they made of him, yet he so demeaned himself amongst them,as he not only diverted them from surprising the fort, but procured his own liberty, and got himself and his company such estimation among them that those savages admired him
* This is saying what happened to the prisoners. 


Jounal of the First Voyage of America
ii.subjective: we came upon a village of the natives about half a league from the place where the ships lay; the inhabitants on discovering us abandoned their houses, and took to flight, carrying of their goods to the mountain.
 * This is a subjective because he is saying what was thier with no detalles.
  objective: I saw a snake, which we killed, and I have kept the skin for your Highnesses; upon being discovered he took to the water, whither we followed him, as it was not deep, and dispatched him with our lances; he was seven spans in length; I think there are many more such about here
 *I think this is subjective because he measured the snake instead of just saying that it was a long snake.


3. The thing that happened in the text that i read today I think that important to the thing are going on right know because maybe if what happen back them would not happen we wouldn't have what we have know.


4. My work does explain the standard for example this text for the story journal of the first voyage of american, " I saw a snake, which we killed, and I have kept the skin for your Highnesses; upon being discovered he took to the water, whither we followed him, as it was not deep, and dispatched him with our lances; he was seven spans in length; I think there are many more such about here".
