Monday/title:Blood on the River, chapter 19/pgs:144-155,min:19
Since Captain Smith was the president he made a rule:"If a man shall not work, a man shall not eat". So every one worked hard, and he was liked. One day Samuel and Richard were working on the fields gathering beans ans soon they hear a ship. It had the British flag. Samuel and Richard left to greet the ship. As they go they see more people, and Smith hopes that they are hard corker and not gentlemen. As the people unloaded Samuel saw a two women on board. one was married and old but the other was young. He also sees Namotack, he is wearing a linen shirt but his hair was the same. Samuel asked Namotack that where was his stick. He said that he through it to the ocean because there were so many people. Samuel tells him that he is speaking English good, better than before. Again the rock they had sent were just rocks but The Virgina Company still wanted money so they told the team to use the natural resources to make pottery and glass. Namotack told Samuel that the king they had was weak and small but the king he had was strong and big. Samuel was angry because King James wanted to make Chief Powhatan his subject. Miss. Ann Burras made a big impression with the men and she was at a marriage age, 14, but she didn't want to marry them, she wanted the right man. Miss.Ann was serving Mrs. Forrest but she didn't do anything, Ann did everything for her. Ann was asked to get some water and there were Samuel and Richard. They asked her to get the water since they were already dirty and bare foot. Samuel and Richard asked Ann to be friend with her and she agreed. They had a chat, stuff of Mrs. Forrest. She leaves so Samuel and Richard are back in the fishing nets. Samuel hopes that Mrs. Forrest isn't eating Ann's food rations because he never dug a grave for a girl and he isn't gonna start now.
