Wednesday/ttle:Blood on the River, chapter 21/ pgs:165-172,min:20

King James wants to make Chief Powhatan a prince. Powhatan is very angry and so is Captain Smith. No one wanted to talk to Smith when he is angry. King James sent Chief Powhatan some gifts but Powhatan had to go and get them but yet he still refused so Captain Newport when with the gifts and the crown they were supposed to give him. It took a long trip on boat. When they get there Chief Powhatan has to kneel so Newport can crown him but he acts as he don't know what to do. Captain Newport demonstrates making him look dumb. Chief Powhatan still pretended so Newport order two men to push him down, it wasn't easy. When they got back Miss.Ann was Allowed to marry. She was marrying was John Laydon, or the man who made the little box with her name carved on it. Reverend Hunt and Captain Smith were both in good moods. One day Reverend Hunt gets sick, sometimes too sick that it sends him to bed. Richard took good care of him and even Samuel helped him. When he was about to die, Samuel and him talked. He told Samuel that he would become something more than a servant one day but Samuel asked him what. Reverend told hm that he would figure it out. Later Samuel thanked him for every thing, the opportunity and a lot more, but after that he died. It was a wet day, so rainy that the houses started to flood. John was digging for Ann so the water would leave, and Samuel thought that she chose the right man.
