PLEASE HELP:

Put yourself in the shoes of a merchant that is going on a journey along the Silk Road. Write at least 1 paragraph minimum of 5 sentences. Your job is to find interesting items that you feel would increase in value as you travel the Silk Route.

As you write your journal entries, think about what you will see, hear, smell, touch, and taste on your travels. How are you feeling about the trip? What are some items you are taking with you? What do you encounter on the way? How do you feel once you get to your final destination? Be as creative as possible.

Answer:

Day one: Today I am heading on the silk road, I have never been on this road so it will be my first time going. Some of the things I have packed for my tip are clothing, food, one dagger, and some things for wounds. While I am traveling this new Silk Road I am seeing all sorts of animals and beautiful trees they look like willow trees but smell like maple. I have chosen to rest at a camp point I found no one seems to have been here for a while because their is a lot of old things such as old patches used for wounds, old leg wraps, and a really rusted dagger but this is were I am for the night so I must adapt. Day two: The next morning I wake up to the sound of the birds chirping and the sound of leaves moving in the wind. I go down to the creek I found to wash up before I continue my travels when I spot a very shiny object in the water. I go to investigate and Its a jewel I can sell if I find travelers along my path. I wash up and begin on the trail again. As I am going on my way to the city I come across some travelers at a rest camp. I offer some of my good and they request healing items for wounds. I gave them the most I could and they pay in silver. I head on my way after meeting the Travelers and continue on my way to the city. Towards the night I hear owls in the trees the chirping of the crickets and the fire flies flying above my head like little stars. I couldn't find a resting spot so I sleep in my shop tonight and lay on my clothes for comfort. Day three: Today is the day I get to the city and end my travel on the silk road for now. Along the way their I see another object and decide to investigate when I get closer you can hear the sounds it makes. The sounds are like music notes but with a rhythm. I pick up the object and it stops so I decide to keep the object. I decide to also sell this item because I have no idea what it is. As I near the end of the path to the city I look back and see all the leaves on the path all the birds flying and hear the wind in the leaves. I look back one more time and head into the city. As I walk towards the city I realized how relaxing nature is and walk to the city relaxed. I set up my shop in the city and wait for customers and begin the rest of my day.

Sorry if that's to much. :)
