Answer 1

Okay, I will try

My name is (name), I was only (age) when I was captured from my village(Village name). I was a simple farmer; tending the land, washimg the veggies, etc. I lived a happy life until the white man came. First they told us that we needed "god"; we were "savage". Told us we could still be saved if we were willing.

Lies.
They took me and my people on ships. Tucked like sardines , we sailed for days. The rotting smell of unclean flesh and various orders wasted day in and day out.

They laughed at us, sayimg we would be saved in the new land (Land name) and that "monkeys" needed to ne trained.

I wish I was never fooled, I fell right into there trap. We all were.

Edit as you like, hope this helped.
