You are creating a journal similar to the Native Perspective. You are a missionary en route to the Americas at the behest of your country.

You have been imagining what you may find in this new country and its people and how this may be like your country and how it may be different.

You revisit your journal, read it, and write a new entry to compare your life in Europe with that of the Native people before you arrived.
