I think that I would go to the New World because it would be a great opportunity for me back then.
I do think I’d go because I think it would be too dangerous to do. I would miss my family too.
No, because I would not want to die. Also it would be very scary. I don’t think I would know any one else.
If I lived back in 1607 and I was asked to sail to the “New World” with the Virginia Company of London to create a new settlement for England I would say yes because I would do anything for my royal highness!!
I think it would be very interesting to go to Jamestown because I could find a better way of life.
I think want to go to the New World would be fun because it would be so different than today and I could see how it was to live in that centrey.
I’m pretty sure I’d go to the New world because this seems like something fun and I’m alway’s ready for a new adventure to go on and I would love to help my country England!
I think I would go to the “New world because” this seems like a super-duper awesome thing to do and I’m alway’s ready for a Brand new adventure. I think I wouldn’t go because it seems kind of scary looking for attacks every time you turnyour back. I 75% would go and I 25% wouldn’t.
Half of me says I would not go because the women didnt come untill 1620 and I would like to see what the men did before the women got there. Also I wouldn’t want to fight with the indians about silly stuff life crops and other goods. But the other half of me says I would go because there is always a part of of me that is up for adventure. Also the times ended up ok and if those brave people didn’t go on that adventure we probably wouldn’t be here today.
I would go because I would have a chance to make money. Then again I would not go because of death, diseases. The list of very very bad things can go on and on, so I probably not go.
I would not go !!! I would be scared to die.
I would not go! I could be seperated from my parents if I went! And besides, who would want to travel on a probably cramped boat and sleep in gross, mosquito invaded tents?
I would want to go because it would be cool to go the new world. so I could go trade with the indians. That seems alot .

I would want to go because it would make me very rich. I would be able to get a better house and more land.
Peace!
I would probably go so I could help colonize the New World and see what the new land was like.
i would explore the nw world because i would be granted wealth and power from the king i wold be famous
I would choose to go to the new world. I would make alot of money. If i went their i would hope to be a FARMER because they are able to grow tobbaco. Once i am wealthy and Bold.
I loved your blogging. There were times when I laughed at your reasoning for going and reasons for being afraid. Thank goodness, there were adventuresome men and later women who joined them because if they hadn’t, we would have no New World.
We are glad that you and your teachers are being adventuresome with blogging. Not a new world, but definitely adventuresome. Keep it up!
i would go to jamestown for one BIG reason:
1) i think that women can do ANYTHING men can do and somestimes better, so i would go to show them im as strong as them! Also, men cant live without women, we do laundery, cook, and clean, but the best part is that women made jamestown bigger and better!
****GO GIRLS****
I LOVE MY SCHOOL AND THANK YOU MRS.MELLO!
love,
