Outset

“At this moment, then, the Negroes must begin to do the very thing which they have been taught that they cannot do.” This quote was once said by Carter G. Woodson. It related to the topic I chose, and the topic was “The 54th Massachusetts Regiment.” The Regiment took place during a time that Blacks weren’t allowed to help fight in the Civil War. Before I researched this topic I knew very little about this Regiment. Alternatively, I knew two things about the Regiment. One, that the Regiment took place during the Civil War, and two that it consisted of Black Soldiers. This seemed ironic to me because the Civil War was a War over Black Slaves. The North was Anti-Slavery (Union), the South was Pro-Slavery (Confederacy), and the War was supposed to lead to the end or continuation of Slavery. Surprisingly, it baffled me that Whites allowed Blacks to help fight during the Civil war. Mainly, because blacks were seen as property and inhumane. Therefore, I wanted to know why Blacks were allowed to fight in the war and “What was The 54th Massachusetts Regiment?” I predicted that Blacks were allowed to fight in the Civil War because the North or South needed more people to help fight in the War. This led me to the topic question “What was the 54th Massachusetts Regiment?” The topic relates to class because we’ve been studying the Civil War, and it matters to me because before the Civil War Blacks were told that they didn’t have the ability to do many things. I think it’s important to know the impact Black Soldiers had after they were given a chance to show their capabilities as human beings.

Who is Abdul Rahman, the Prince Among Slaves

Stripped from his nobility
This explains how Abdul Rahman was a descendant of a Islamic king from Africa.One day, he was taken to sea by a rival tribe, and left his wife and son behind and became a slave. Abdul came from an urban area that thought of themselves superior of others; including their long hair that signified their nobility. When he was taken to sea, he was brought to the U.S. There, his hair was cut off he, and was sold along with another slave to a man named Thomas Foster. Abdul would no longer a Prince.
Untold with a powerful decision
After being a slave for a long period of time, now Abdul was assigned to over see his masters plantation. Abdul had also gained a new family.  Later, Abdul wanted to send a latter home, and soon his letter would be published by Andrew Marschalk. Eventually thought  differently about the plantation. If Abdul wanted freedom he'd have to leave the U.S. This was a powerful decision because he would leave a family behind if he wanted to be free.
Something Unforgiveable
Abdul went north and surprising received help from president John Quincy Adams to purchase his kids freedom. This was the first time he was in a place with no slaves. The president didn't know that Abdul wasn't from Morocco. Fortunately, while Abdul was in the north, he was able to work with American Colonization Society (people who help black slaves). Abdul still had to think about the consequences he would face. If he were to go back to Arica, he'd leave his children behind.
Everything happens for a reason
Although, Abdul returned to Africa with his wife and without his children, later his family were reunited. It was his dream for his family to be together. As well, Abdul believed that "everything happened for a reason. For instance, when he became a slave and ran away, he stopped himself because he had no where to go. Abdul reminded himself that sometimes things happened for a specific cause. In addition when a man named John Cox recognized him, even though Cox told Abdul's master he was a king, Abdul still was enslaved. John Cox was a man he knew because he stayed with Abdul in Timbuktu. The reason he was still a slave was because it wasn't his time to be freed ( later on in life he was suppose to be freed).

Blog Post Final reflection

I started my game by trying out different things that the sprites could do, this made me come up with how I was going to present my game. I worked through my problems by looking at my other scratch projects and noticing what i did in those projects to make it successful. I tested it by clicking on the green flag and events to see if it worked. Yes, it did work as i intended as well because I was able to make my game work.

Final Game Project Description

Game 

The purpose of my game is for the player to have fun accomplishing many different levels. The player will do this by doing different activities. My sprite will be a vehicle. I will choose colorful backgrounds. As the score increases, the levels will increase. The goal is to get 100 points as the score. You win by accomplishing the levels and following the directions carefully.When you do finish the vehicle will say"I made it.''There will be five levels and the next level will have a different activity for the player to do with a different background. The different background will let the player, he/she, know is increasing levels. I will increase difficulty by making the player do more things to reach the next level.  The player will  also accomplish this by CAREFULLY playing the game.
