Dear diary,
ReplyDeleteToday is September 26, 1580. Today I'm going to tell you about my life. It's hard living in these days there is really nothing to entertain your self. But its more than just that I'm traveling the globe today and it's going to take 3 years to. And its all on a ship called the golden hind and there is a golden hind at the front of this ship. It's also named after a human. If we fall off the ship we don't need to worry about needing to swim because God will save us. When they did fall off We all believe its a ghost that is pushing us off. Down down down in the ship is an armored room and we go there during a battle. If your an officer on the ship then you are better appreciated and have better toilets and beds. So I guess life isn't that bad.
Dear diary,
ReplyDeleteToday I am on my ship and I am sailing home. I am so excited to see my family. I stole some riches from a Duke in Madrid . I need to make the Queen proud. Hmmmm .What could I do for her? Since I got these riches I can give some to the Queen .She loves gold .Right now my servants will give me my favourite food. Fish stew ,yummy. My favourite journey was to the West Indies . I loved the spices .Any ways I've got to go and have a bath .It's been 2 weeks since I haven't bathed myself . Can someone put the hot water for me please? I need to be clean and tidy as I am due to seen the Queen tomorrow .
6:30 pm watching the sunset.
Ahh this is so relaxing .Watching bright colors merge together. Can you believe that I'm nearly back to England. Isn't it exciting. Oh just give me a day and I will be back. I better go to sleep now i've got a big day ahead tomorrow.
September 26 1580 in England 7:40 in the Morning.
Ahhhhbhhhhhhh! I needed to go to the Queen quickly. She was expecting me. I wasn't worrying about breakfast ,I just went to her. So I just got ready and walked out the door and a crowd of people came to me and started cheering for me. What could be going on?
1:15 pm next to the Queen 's Palace.
When I entered the gates trumpets started playing , people were throwing flowers . GOODNESS ME!
It was like a wedding ceremony. I was thinking Who was I getting married to? Was that how you would expect things to be like when a person came back from an important mission ? I hated the feeling when you get that . Then I saw the Queen .Got to go. I greeted her Majesty and told her that I've stolen some treasure from the Spanish . She thanked me And then started her speech. After that she crowned me as Sir Francis Drake. I felt very proud of my achievement . So that's why everyone was excited this morning . This was the best day of my life.
September 26 1580
ReplyDeleteI’ve just come home from the rough, choppy, stormy sea .The first thing I did was to check whether Queen Elizabeth was alive or not. Fortunately, she was in a good condition. Queen Elizabeth asked me why my voyage took so long? I replied: while I was raiding the Spanish Armarda, I was being attacked and I was outnumbered so I fled from the Spanish Armarda in a random direction then I got lost. So a sailed around land only stopping at lands for food and a drink. Then I found myself at England south-western shore and I figured out that somehow I circum navigated the world! After I was done telling Queen Elizabeth about the journey and about the 5 ships that accompanied me on my Journey with me that did not survive then Queen Elizabeth called the whole kingdom and told them that I was back from my voyage. Then she made me kneel and took out her sword put and put it on my right shoulder then my left shoulder and appointed me as Sir Francis Drake. Later that day everyone was asking me questions like “how long was the voyage not including the attempt to raid the Spanish Armarda?” and other things.

ReplyDeleteDear diary,
Today is September 26, 1580. Today I’m going to tell you about my life. It is hard living these days because there is nothing to do accept look out for over pirates.
The ship I’m using today is called the Golden Hind and it will take me 3 years to travel somewhere but I don’t care so I am traveling around the globe. The toilets we’d use were not very good. We have to sit on a hole in the ship and do your business.
Dear dairy,
ReplyDeleteToday is the day that I came back from traveling all around the world it took THREE YEARS but it was totally worth it as I found all TYPES of tremendous country's and continents. Also there was a bad thing about it as well on the boat (the Golden Hind) there was a very grouse toilet as there was a wooden plank and the was a hole in it and under it so when you did your business it would go into the sea then when the waves crash over you all the business would go over you again but where I sleep is luxurious as I'm the captain I'm the only one who can sleep on the bed so...YAY! OH THERE SOMEONE AT MY DOOR IT MIGHT BE THE QUEEN GOTTA GO SEE YA LATER!

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
Today was a happy day because we finally reached Plymouth. As soon as we docked at the dock yard there were thousands of people cheering. Me and my crew had huge smiles on our faces. It was such a happy feeling. I can’t believe I was the first English man to travel around the world! What a journey it was!
I can still remember the day that we started the trip. We had 5 ships at the beginning and came back with 1 ship. The memories flash back to the day when we got stuck in the storm in the Atlantic Ocean, it was the bravery and perseverance of the crew that led us out. I decided to rename it the Golden Hind.
Anyway we got to go to a restaurant with the Queen, it was all free! In the future I hope that the Queen will get people to examine the continents so that they can draw maps to guide people around the world. Time to go now it is very late.

Dear diary
ReplyDeleteToday is a very sad day because it's the last day of my journey across the world. but I'm so shocked that I've been on a boat for basically 3 years.But the worst bit is that when I'm using my luxurious toilet/floorboard and their is a wave my WEE OR POOP�� go's all over my face. I definitely won't miss the toilet.What I will miss is the peace of the sea and the luxurious food I'm eating but I'm looking forward to seeing my
family again.
Dear diary
ReplyDeleteToday is the most tiering day because I kept on fighting to get gold and money and whiles losing lots of ships and renaming the Pelicon the Golden Hind. However when I can e back the Golden Hind was heavily damaged and then the repair men started working on the Golden Hind and the Queen was there was and Knighted me as a pirotear. Now I can conker other boats for free and I do not get into prison. NIGHT NITGHT AND GOOD NIGHT!!!!!!
Today is the 26 September 1580.
ReplyDeleteToday was an amazing day because we got back this morning from our three year voyage around the globe. I am looking at my quarter share of the riches, Half of it went to Queen Elizabeth and the other quarter got split between my shipmates.
Queen Elizabeth knighted me also, so I am officially called Sir Francis Drake. Some people call me a hero because I gave a lot of my loot to the poor. I’m glad to be home in one piece because I lost a lot of my shipmates in the war and also this bed is a lot more comfortable than what I’ve been sleeping on for the last three years, at least I wasn’t one of those that had to sleep on the floor!
I will write more tomorrow but right now I need some well deserved rest.
Sir Francis Drake journey.
ReplyDeleteOne of my day as Sir Francis Drake .
So , today is September 26,1580, this morning at six o'clock my slave (cook Rod)
brought me one of our messenger pigeon. There was an important message from the queen Elizabeth the first. She have sent me an half burned map. According to my calculations the island is somewhere of the coast on South America.
Since nobody new in my crew knows anything about sailing, I have to charter a ship to take us to this island . Probably I have to spent the whole evening preparing for the trip . This have to include thing like gathering large coils of rope for those creepy cave expeditions, guns and ammo for possible confrontation with angry head-hunting cannibals . Better if I'll go now as I will be writing for till late ...
September 30, 1580
Well, we sailed for the past few days and when we got to the island , we sailed into a small cave and were surprised by ten other ships already anchored here........
To be continued......
Dear Diary,
ReplyDeleteToday is September 26,1580. I am writing to tell you that it is hard living here. There is no one to live here with me. Now I am on my boat sailing back home to my community. I have stolen gold from Duke of Madrid. The Queen told me to sail and explore all around the world . I also need to tell you that I had tooks five boats but only one boat came back two boats sank and one boat were destroyed and one boat was blew back to England because of the storm in a Island.Then I died of dystertry.
