R- Role- Suzy A- Audience- Me F- Format- Diary Entry T- Topic- What was life like on a plantation system?

Dear Diary, I hate being a slave! I wish my master would listen to John Woolman! He speaks out against slavery and I love it! I live on a plantation with my family. We’re planning our escape, but I’m nervous it won’t work! Being a slave is super hard! There are so many buildings to work in! There is Big House, kitchen, smokehouse, overseers house, laundry, fruit trees, slave quarters, garden, hen house, stable, tobacco barn, carpentry, shop, blacksmith shop, tobacco fields, and the worst, whipping post! I wish my master was Robert Carter 3! He freed all his slaves! When your a slave, you do all kinds of work! You have to garden, clean clothes, feed animals, and lots of other things! It’s really hard! I don’t get very much sleep at night! I’m so tired and I wish that I didn’t have to work! Well, I’ve got to get some sleep! Night!

Your Friend, Suzy
