Text Box: Narrative account

Slaves in Africa

Alkeema’s Diary

This webpage tells the story of Alkeema, a slave girl who came over to America on a very uncomfortable crowded slave ship.  She is a fictional character, but her experiences are based on historical events that happened to many Africans hundreds of years ago.

 

This web site includes a narrative account based on Alkeema’s journey to America, a reflection of my writing goals, an editing checklist that I used to help me check my writing, and a comments page for people to comment on Alkeema’s memoir.

I hope you enjoy the story of Alkeema!
