Hi name is Edward and this is my story about the trip
across the big blue ocean to a place called the New World.
It all started 2 weeks after my 8th birthday. My mum told
me we were going to go this big new place called the New World.
She said we were going to go in a big ship. I told my best friend John
about it and he said he it sounded cool and that he wanted to come.
But at the end he didn’t come and after we left England I never saw
him again.
When we arrived at the docks and saw the ship, it was the biggest
ship I had ever seen in my life. I was very excited. But when got inside the
ship my excitement was gone because there were a lot people and there
wasn’t much space inside.
After four days of traveling I was very
bored. There weren’t many kids in the ship
traveling. The crew people didn’t allow us to play
a lot because they didn’t want us to get sick. I
didn’t understand why, but I heard that there was
a man on board that said that he would throw
people to the big blue ocean if we did get sick. So
my parents also didn’t allow me to have fun.
On 12th day of traveling the weather
was very bad. There was a lot of rain and
thunderstorms. I was very scared. It rained
for a long time that even the ship started to
break apart which I never thought it was
possible because it was big.
The adults had to decide if to keep on going
to go back home because they thought it wouldn’t
make. At the end they decided that the ship was
“seaworthy” or in good form we landed in a place
called Cape Cod.
Cape Cod was not what I expected. It
was a empty place. There were no houses or
shops. All there was just dirt and grass. It was
also very cold. It even started snowing.
We stayed there for the whole winter season.
After a few moths people that were traveling died
because of the cold. I was very sad but my mum told
me they were going to a happy warmer place and I felt
much better after that.
After the winter season was over I met a
strange man with bronze skin and long black hair who
did not speak the same language as I did. His name
was Samoset.
Samoset taught us plant corn which
is something we did know how to. He also
taught us how to fish. He also taught us the
land around us and he said that he was a
native.
After living there for a long time we became a community
and I made new friend and played with them. Thanks to Samoset we
didn’t have to starve and build houses and hunted and grew corn.
After time more people started arriving from England and our new
home became more big and better than my old home in England. And
we became a big happy family after we crossed the big blue ocean.
