Social Studies 9 Reflection

This semister, i completed an independent fiction novel study by reading Free Boy A True Story of Slave and Master. In the book, one of the characters name James Tilton who became a Surveyor General in washington territory enslaved a boy name Charlie Mitchel in Washington where slavery was illegal. Charlie was sent to Tilton as a wedding gift from his cousin Rebecca Gibson, They later moved in Olympia, Washignton and it was a wrongfull decision for tilton because he owned a slave and disobeyed washington laws. James’ action towards Charlie was brutal and harsh he gennuinly gives him harsh punishments like child abuse, locking him up, and doesn’t wanna let him see the outside world. People during the 18 and 1900s should not be inspired by Tilton’s actions about slavery because everyone shouldn’t judged and we deserve freedom and rights. I also practiced using concrete evidence from a text. One of the best peices of evidence i used from this project was Qoutes from the book, Images, or sentences that strongly connects to my facts.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is by listening to them carefully, gathering information and asking questions if you misunderstood something or needed clarification.

While completing my Socials assignment I faced uncertainty, so I did I would try to remember what i reviewed in my brain google search or ask questions to my classmates before the teacher to be able to feel sure about an unknown information.

I have valuable ideas to share about military history and details about specific things about the topic and do so by sharing about what i know that everyone doesn’t and i can be really precised of what it is.
