My Slave Diary Entry 3

in the boat-the white people are being mean to us

Dear Diary,

   I was right. My sister and I were separated. I was chained up, from head to toe. I was with some of friends, but most of them were males. It was smelly, and disgusting (urgh!). After a while, I was unchained, but my friends and I have to break our thumbs. I was really scared but that’s was they wanted to do. We screamed but failed again. Luckily, I don’t have to break my thumbs, but going to send the captain. I am going to be sent to the captain after dinner. Meanwhile, the males have to exercise, but the workers on the ship threw water at them. They threw water at the scars. It hurts because they’ve been hit a lot.  Some of them cried and some screamed.

  Below the deck, the stench is making me sick that I wanted to die. Some of them died and they were thrown into the sea full with sharks. At dinner, it was terrible. The food was just white stickiness, look like sticky rice. It tastes terrible. After dinner, that stupid first mate just unchained me and pulled me to the Captain’s room. The Captain was furious that the first mate brought me here. After that, he left the room so in the room only the Captain and me. He asked me questions but I am not dared to answer them. He seemed to look nice, unlike the First Mate. I was scared that I couldn’t even speak. After that, the Captain called the first mate to bring me back to the deck.Urgh…Everything in the boat is terrible!! :@
