Samuel visited Smith and brought him some food. Samuel thought it would be his last. Smith told Samuel that he has been in chains before and that he had escaped. Smith was a solder but he was captured and sold as a slave. Later he was working in the fields and he was using something like a bat for the crops. The Master was on a horse with a whip. He whipped Smith, Smith got angry so he got the bat thing and hit his Master until the life was no longer in him. Smith got his Master's clothes and horse and rode of to freedom. Reverend comes marching up to them with a key. He told Smith that he was free due from the gentlemen. They had voted that they rather live than be killed by Indians because they don't know how to communicate to them. Unlike Smith could. Smith was free but if he ever utter a bad thing to the men, he would be back in chains. If he did say a word, they would rather have their pride than survive in the "New World".

Samuel went to get water to his master. He saw Captain Smith in chains but he was writing. Smith asks Samuel if he could read and he said that his mother toughed him. Smith asked other questions like how she learn. Captain Smith is writing because he wanted to do the same as Julius Ceasar when he was in prison. Samuel, Richard and James are talking about the Indians that live in the "New World", that they are half bold and have a lot of tattoos. What Samuel really got scared of was that the Indians chopped them to smaller peaces and ate him in a soup. Samuel sees some Indians in canoes and Smith does some sign language that he wants to trade. They agree and bring food. The chef on the bouts named some fruits like pineapple. Samuel was curios so he asked Smith how he knew all that. He said that it wasn't really that hard, the Indians in England used the same type of sign language to strangers.

Thursday/title:Code Talker, chapter 24 Iwo Jima & chapter 25 In Sight Of Suribachi/pgs:172-183,min:23
It is February 9th and every one have arrived at Iwo Jima. North of Mount Suribachi was the winning land. Iwo Jima is a small island and they thought that it would be easy to conquer but they were wrong. There was a new commander for the Japanese and he told them to kill at least 10 American solders before dieing. Most of the Japanese solders wore white bands around their foreheads and it was believed to help the wearer so they wouldn't get shot and die it was called the sinnimbaris. It didn't work for the Japanese for 20,000 were dead but so were many of us.
Some people thought that the island was like the underworld were the devil lives. The Japanese were well protected from the deep hole they dug, and well supplied too, they had tons of food and water. The marines were really mad that the food they had was labeled U.S.A FOOD RELIEF, and that food was stolen from the citizens of Japan and the Navajos were the one who gave them that food. Every time Ned ate the cook always told him" Good Luck, Leatherneck", but he knew that they were just joking and Just maybe he would die. When Ned got his lunch, he wrapped it and saved it for later and that was smart because he would have to go on a bout and most people through up and Ned could also save it when he if in his foxhole and he is starving.

It was New Years Eve,1945 and Ned Begay was recovered but still was kinda stiff. Pavavu was steamy hot and there were bugs the size of a baby. DDT was a very bad poison but that's the only thing they had to use so you wouldn't get infected with the new decease that was carried in insects but there were so many mice that it wouldn't matter. Ned never knew that when a Japanese solder was not killed in a banzai, he would be great shame and would be beaten or even staved.
