Hello, this is a project about Roanoke I did. We were supposed to write a journal entry about someone in Roanoke. I chose to write about a girl named Virginia Dare. (I didn't choose the name.) Mine gets a little... I can't think of the word. Disturbing? I'll go with disturbing. But, you'll just have to read it. There is a theory of how Roanoke disappeared. This is not my actual theory. Our theories had to be "Realistic". My theory is that everyone was abducted by aliens by the name of Croatoan, or that they just got mad because of how long they went without food, and they spelled crouton wrong. Well, here you go. READ IT!!!!
We just arrived at the area for the settlement. John White seems pleased with himself. I have no idea why, but he just does. Probably because he brought people capable of surviving here. I need some better food than I brought. I have seasickness, and that will be cured soon enough, because I am no longer on the sea. This was quite a sail, because everyone was regurgitating left and right. I thought Walter Raleigh was going to fall off at some points. We seem to have plenty of resources at the moment. I think we may run out. I sure hope there aren’t any Natives around, they would possibly be angry about us coming.
We are now running out of resources for the settlement, I have explored a little bit. There are Native campgrounds nearby, they noticed me and were furious that we are here. John White said he would be sailing back to get resources. I was faithful that we would get the resources, and that the Natives would not attack us. I told some men about the tribe nearby. They said that they would go try to see what they had, and if we could use it. So they went to where I said it was, I wish I hadn’t told them. They robbed the Natives of their riches, and their homes. Many died, and some were only mad with the men who robbed them. One Native girl told me that we should leave, because the leader of the tribe was planning on attacking us. I told him that I would not tell the other men about this, because they would just attack first. I am going to leave in one of the paddle boats with one other person who I could trust. The Native who told me about this wanted to come along. She snuck some food into the boat during the night, and we left. We did not reach very far before we saw flames were we set the settlement. We heard faint screaming, and the girl murmured something that sounded like crouton. I was really confused.
Then we saw a fin start to come out of the water. It went back down. The girl screamed. I turned around, and she was gone. Then I saw pieces of cloth floating in the water, and I had no idea what happened. I started to paddle faster, and the paddle snapped. the boat was hit by something, and it flipped over. I swam downward, hoping to see what it was. A shark, and it was coming right at me.

What? There's a blank space in one of my posts? I know that! Just right click a few places on the picture, and then open it in a new browser, then you will see my impression of you. GOODBYE!
