Dear Journal,

Today,my silversmith job was so fun!The time you have to be there by is 8:00 A.M.After I get there,I have to clock in and go straight to my first work station,which is weighing the metal in front of the customers so they will trust me.The next thing I have to go to is I have to pour melted silver into a new mold called an ingot.After I am ready to make a piece,I melt the ingot and pound it into sheets.After that,I shape it using hammers and tongs.Next,I have to polish it.Afterwards,I usually engrave my initials or sometimes engrave the customers name on it.It took years of practice but I’ve finally got it!

I would rather live in Plymouth because they didn’t grow tobacco there and I hate tobacco,it shortens your life,and I don’t want to do that to myself.I want to live as long as God will allow me to live.Nobody wants to shorten and eventually destroy their life because of tobacco.They also learned how to farm and hunt,I would love to do that in the 1600’s.I would also love to eat at Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims and the Indians.The only thing I don’t like about Plymouth would have to be how many people died because of the lack of resources and the weather conditions. That’s very terrible when you think about it. That’s why I would like to live in Plymouth instead of Jamestown.
