Answer 1

Day 10: Mr. Turner

Americas are full of trees and many other wonders. I have seen Indians roam around the area. I hope tomorrow I will be able to get a closer look at their lifestyle. They dress in animal skin with their long dark hair in braids. They haven’t noticed our arrival, but I hope we won’t run into any problems. However, this is our new land that we discovered. I walked around and started to grab supplies as a Indian pointed his bow at me. I knew this would cause a fight between us and these natives.

Hope this helps.
