For this assignment, we all were given information on different African people in history. We had to learn about that person, and then we wrote a creative piece. We had to put facts from their actual lives and bring in creativity. I had Dorothy Creole, who was a half-freed slave in New York. By reading about her life, I learned a lot about the lives of slaves in this time and how they were a tight knit community. Dorothy Creole adopted her friend’s child after his parents died. I am very proud of this piece, because I think I was able to put the fact and fiction together well. As I humanities student, I learned that I am very good at retaining information from non-fiction, and then bringing in things that weren’t originally part of the story. I really enjoy doing this because it allows the writer to have some freedom. Overall, I was very proud of this piece.
