Ahoy Guys and Gals! For a nearly a week now I've been working on a Diary, for free writing. One of the reasons I chose Journal it's because in the anime Demon Slayer, Tanjiro had a Journal.
Nezuko isn't my character, It's from an anime called Demon Slayer. None of the information in the journal is true about the anime. I just chose her because I thought she would be a cool pirate for school.

Uhm so I found an empty book and I wanted to write in it so I’m making this my diary. It is old and a bit burned but I could still use it for a week or so. (Sorry for the messy handwriting)
2017 - 7th - May - 12:45am
Today I wanted to become a Pirate, I’ve always wondered what pirates do, especially the Captain. I cannot speak because a demon slayer tied a piece of bamboo to my mouth, lucky they didn’t execute me.
Since I couldn’t speak, I wrote down this : I want to become a pirate. Will you help me?
After I wrote it down I gave it to my older brother Tanjiro. He was awake at that time for night training. He said he would be happy to help.
I hugged my brother and ran back to the log house, and that's when I found this book, It surprisingly had nothing in it.
I thought of things we needed in order to become a pirate. And he knew I was serious about being a pirate because I’m like 19 years old.

Okay, I wrote two questions and I showed my brother the questions. He said yes to all of them. The two questions were : Can we buy a boat? Are we allowed to build a crew?
I was so excited I can finally have more adventure instead of being in this old log house. It was very small but It was worth it. My brother asked his friends if they wanted to join my crew, but sadly they said No. So I had to start from scratch, just Tanjiro and I and a boat.
2017-8th- May - 9:24am
I woke up from my lovely slumber. I didn’t want to get out, I was too relaxed. But then my brother walked into my room saying that the boat was already purchased. Diingg I got up and walked over to the pile of paper and wrote down a question: Can we sail somewhere tomorrow? He agreed and Tanjiro also said it was a proper Pirate boat. They sold it cheap because it was very old. But Tanjro stayed up all night fixing the holes and pipes.
I wrote down thank you and gave him a hug.

So then after watching a season of the BNHA series I remembered that I had to go to sea tomorrow. So I rushed over to my bedroom and packed like 15 kimonos. My brother started packing food for the ship. It was mostly fruit, Vegetables, soup, soba and bento.
I wanted to scream because of my excitement, but I could not speak.
2017 - 9th - May - 5:37am
It was Morning and I was excited, I rushed over to my pile of papers and pens, and I added them in a separate bag because my first bag is full. I woke up my brother and pointed at the calendar. Oh, welp today is the day we get to go to sea! Are you ready matey? He said and I nodded, I was starting to learn sign language so I still NEED MY PAPERS!
2017 - 9th - May - 7:08pm
Okay so today is time to go onto the ship. I was so excited. Luckily it was night-time so I don’t have to be in my box. I have to be in a box in the daylight because if sunlight touches me, I’ll disintegrate to ashes.
Then I picked up my bags and went outside to meet with my brother. We checked that we had everything necessary, and we walked off to Seashell Shore. My brother told me to close my eyes. I obeyed him. As I was walking without any sense of sight, I dreamed of what it would look like.
I couldn’t believe my brother went this far just for me to become a pirate, but he was the only family I had.
When my brother and I arrived he told me to open my eyes.
I jumped and screamed (with no noise) I wrote thank you on my special notepad. It was better than what I imagined, 10 cannons on both sides, It was so big it was taller than my log house.
As I stepped on the tilted ladder, I was glancing around. I can’t believe we own this mighty fine ship. Then my brother and I started dibsing sides of the large room, then after we started to unpack. I became really tired and I went over to my bag and got my pen and paper and I wrote Tanji, can we have early dinner, I’m really sleepy. My brother was okay with that, we had cold soba but it tasted really good. I placed my pillow and went to bed on the floor.
2017- 10 - May - 4:24am
I woke up really early, for no reason as always. I just walked around the ship (Note we are still at Seashell Shore). I started to grab the brooms and dusters, then I started to clean. Because I know my brother would do that so I finished the job for him.
I looked around and started stapling labels around the boat, because I wanted my brother to know where I wanted stuff to be, so he could install a few things.
2017 - 10 - May - 5:39am
It took me so long to finish cleaning and stapling. But I got it done in the end. There were a couple times when I nearly woke my brother up. But he is still sleeping peacefully.
I was so stressed when I was cleaning, that’s why I hate it. Because me wanting everything perfect, gets frustrated.
2017 - 10 - May - 8:00am
Uhh, so my brother woke up because I accidentally broke a plank on top of the room we were sleeping in. He was being a good sport about my mistakes, basically he was annoyed he had to get up, but the plank was replaced.
After we had our breakfast, which was ramen. an old bloke came up to the boat, asking who's the owner of the ship. My brother settled the problem, my brother said He was lying about being this ship being his.
I was confused as to why he would try something like that.
2017 - 11 - May - 9:21am
I forgot that this book existed yesterday, I just played the episodes of BNHA that I downloaded on my laptop. Nothing much happened, and my brother found out what I was writing in this book, and yeah the main thing that was worth writing about.
I’m not sure whether we should sail out to sea, or just find allies or people that would like to join our crew.
I wrote down the second question and gave it to my brother and he said he had to do that, because it’s Morning. I agree with him. I don’t wanna be disintegrated.
2017 - 11 - May - 7:52pm
So because they were scared of me and hated me, I only got ONE member. I love HER, yes it’s a girl! Her name is Jade, she’s a tomboy and she’s nice and caring, but she does have a darkside. It’s really scary, and I don’t recommend doing it. Although unless it was a dare she’ll surely forgive you. Here's a description of her.
Name: Jade Stone
Age: 18
Gender: Girl (But is a tomboy)
What she likes: Chocolate (In any form), Nature (Like flowers and animals) and she likes to read. (She reads manga in her spare time).
What she loves: Family, Friends and to PARTY!!
Other facts: Her darkside is scary as DARN like it even scares Blackbeard.
The reason she likes to Party is because it gives her good memories, and helps her go out of her comfort zone and help her to forget about being alone.
She’s like my first best friend (Except you Tanjiro!!). Keep in mind I’m 19 years old and my mental age is like 10. So I’m really immature that’s why my brother looks after me (He’s like 21).
2017 - 12th - May - 2:08am
I woke up because I heard a thud. I quickly but quietly rushed to the deck of the ship. I saw Jade starting off into the stars, the thud just came from her tripping on the deck.
I wrote down why she’s staring at the stars. She said Stars are just like people, sometimes they shine really bright but sometimes some stars need help shining, and you don’t realize that they are there.
Then I started to join her, the stars reminded me of something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Sometimes I feel like a shineless star, and my brother doesn’t notice.
Jades sometimes talks to herself according to Tanji. But me being a demon I saw a ghost. He had messy hair and was wearing a hoodie, ripped jeans and a beanie.
I didn’t want to ask because everytime, my brother asked who she was talking to, she would reply. So I felt like she was uncomfortable with that topic, it might be a dead family member or a dead friend.
Most likely a friend because her father died a month after she was born.
She only had a sister and her mother, so there were no girls in her main family. But I didn’t want to get into it plus I only knew her for a day.
2017 - 13 - May - 9 am
I finally got the guts to ask her who was the boy she was talking to.
She replied with A childhood friend of mine whose name is Jadien , he has been with me since the beginning. But he died from cancer, he didn’t tell anyone. Jade started sobbing. He didn’t even tell his parent’s. I comforted her. I understood her sadness. Because when I was 12 I saw my family members except Tanji, covered with blood on the living room floor then I just blacked out after I couldn’t remember anything.
We decided to set sail, Jade was still sad about her friend.
Anyway now I’m burning this book cause I want to see my hard work burn away.

Reflection:
I actually enjoyed this session. I think I improved my grammar alot with this story, and there was one spelling mistake that I had to fix in this story. I think I only worked on this for 4 or 3 days. I'm very proud of this story and hopefully my class does more free writing.
