The Dairy Of Nakthi

Hi I am Nakhti and I am 15 years old I woke up on a hot Sunday morning with my back in pain. It was 3 am and I was going to work. I made breakfast which was broccoli, carrots and dried corn because I was a vegetarian. My clothing was a white fine skirt I got from my mother when I was born. I got my clay and went to the old kingdom and told my pharaoh Isis I would go to the Nile and make some nice jars for her. So I started walking and said hi to my friend Ti and he does work by the Nile with me. When we reached the Nile he started to weave and I started to make the jar. After a while I started to become tired and I rested for half an hour and went to the water to wet the clay. Ti was soaked with sweat because he had been weaving so much in the dehydrating sun.


I got some water and gave it to Ti and took some myself. I was halfway on finishing the jar and suddenly the pharaoh came. She just walked by me but she was angry at Ti because he made a tiny mistake so he started over again. She told me to make the jar bigger and so she threw it in the Nile and I also had to start from all over again. But Ti and I just started doing our jobs so she could not expect us to do great. But this happened every day so it did not matter. I only wish that our pharaoh could also do some hard work and not only us. But I had a good friend to be with to work with.


I got home and my dad came home after a while but my mom was far away in the desert because she was forced to give a message to the other kingdom to start war and who would own the red amulet. When my dad came home from scribe school he was very exhausted and so he had to go an sleep strait away. I nearly see him and when I do he is to tired and goes to sleep. So I went to sleep after 2 hours.

The next day I finished the jar and gave it to Isis. She was so impressed and told me if I could continue like that she would give my family a bit more food. I was very happy and so I rushed and told my dad that I made the pharaoh very impressed. He was shocked and he told me if I make the pharaoh happy a few more times then my mom does not have to travel anymore and so of course I accepted that.

Later that day, I was on my way to the kingdom and today when I came up to the pharaoh she told me to work with the more advanced potters! I thanked her so much and rushed out of the kingdom. I saw Ti and I noticed he was going way. I ran over to him and asked why he was not going to the Nile. He told me he also became an advanced over the night and was so glad. Now we both are gonna live a better life and so we both went our different ways. I went to the Nile still because the clay workers had to wet clay in the river to make any pot, jar or anything.

After that afternoon I went home. On my way home I met Ti again and he had made a very nice skirt for the pharaoh. I really liked it and he liked the ¼ of my jug as well. When I reached my home my mom was there by a surprise and I gave her a big hug. I now got our family wealthiness and we lived great life and after a few years I became a scribe like my father.

After 17 more years my father did not obey Isis and so she killed him. I want to take my revenge on her so I didn’t obey her and she was threatening me but she did not kill me yet because I was very good in scribe school and so she wanted me there. The other tragic thing was that Ti died on our way home from the Nile a few years ago. The reason he died was because he tripped on a rock and got venom in his blood and so he died. That was the most depressing thing in my life.

Dear Dairy,
When I woke up this morning I felt funny and so I got up. I was so tired but today was our pharaohs birthday and so we had to work very hard today to finish our gifts for her. She was cruel so I didn’t really want to give her anything but I had to do it anyways. Or she would punish me and maybe kill me. I didn’t really want that to happen so I obeyed her no matter what. But since I’ve done this for such a long time it became easier every year. So I started going to work when my dad said that he was going to the Nile with me today to see what I was doing good at. So we both went down there and I met Ti, my good friend. He was a weaver and I was a potter and we both had to make a gift. I made a beautiful pot for her and Ti made an amazing skirt. We were very happy with it and we both hoped the pharaoh would appreciate it. My dad was very impressed with both of us and he said that the pharaoh would love. But I don’t know and neither does he. When we finally finished our last details we very so happy and exhausted. Later that day we played games and had fun. The bad part was that since I was a vegetarian there was barely any food for me or my family. But it did not matter. Now we sang for her then, we were giving the presents! Now I was nervous. What if the pharaoh did not like it then she might torture me or my family. I was the second last person on the list and so the guard called my name. I walked up with an outstanding pot covered in soft silk. Pharaoh Isis screamed! She was so happy and told me I could take a day of just relaxing. She loved it. Now the guard called Ti! After the ceremony Ti came outside where I was standing and she really liked the skirt. And so we were both really happy and safe.

Dear diary,
It was early in the morning and I was getting ready to go to the market to buy some clay but first, I had to get dressed. After I did that I went dashing to the market. When I reached my area I ran to the booth, I grabbed the clay, payed the booth keeper and ran off to the Nile. I had a big day today because the project that I was doing was to make an appealing jar for our pharaoh Isis. She was very powerful for the moment so if I did not make her happy, she would execute me and my family. So I tried my best to finish my jar quickly and glamorous. After the dry day of hard work I sprinted to the kingdom and asked Isis when I had to be finished in a nice way. I had half a day to finish it and then I thought that it would not be to hard. So I went back to the Nile and continued on my jar. I suddenly noticed that there were berries right beside me and so I used them for color. I let it dry for two hours and so I was almost done. When I finished it I took a long water break because I was exhausted from the overheating day. I went to the kingdom and I actually impressed Isis and she said told me to make a pot or she would kill me. I hated her actually but I had no choice but to obey her and to attend her. I went home hungry and so I got some vegetables and ate some leftover bread from yesterday. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the rock table. So the next day I woke up and my parents weren’t here! Then I just remembered that they went to the Red Sea to fish for Isis. I was home alone and so I went to the market and got clay and went to the Nile talking a bit with Ti. My best and only friend. People got angry at me for not making good jars, pots or anything like them. But I was so young so it wasn’t my fault. I started on a pot I wanted to give to Ti but, Isis would have found out and killed me so I did the same thing like I did everyday. Create things for Isis. But I did this everyday so I did not really mind since I’ve done this for 3 years already. When I talked with Ti he said that he had already died once but because of the sacred amulet he got from his ancestors. So this was his afterlife and he had met Anubis. And of course it had to be true. Or maybe it was a dream. But I belive him and said that it would be interesting to also be in the world of death but I did not want to die unless I had to. It was nice talking to Ti but now I had to go because my parents are supposed to come tomorrow. I was going to make some dinner for them and so I rushed to the market. I got all the supplies and when I got home I became so sleepy. I now just wanted to go to sleep and so I did. The next day I woke up a little earlier to get dinner later on early. After that was done I rushed to work. I saw Ti on my way and he was very happy with the new skirt he had made for Isis. He suddenly tripped on a snake and the snake attacked him. I jumped and banged the clay against it. I threw clay in his mouth and it became dry. Now it couldn’t bite us so we were safe. Then the mother came and we both ran for our lives. Ti fell and was shouting “Nakthi, Nakthi!!!!!” and I just ran because I was too scared to go back. Then, I did not know what happened to Ti after that. I fell into the Nile and almost drowned when the people from the other side of the river picked me up. They saved me and asked me who I was and where I was from. I told them I was from Isis’s kingdom and I was Nakthi. These guys hated Isis and I did as well. I asked if they could help me get home again and so they did. They got their boat and got me to the other side. I was so thankful and gave them clay so they could use it for something. Today was so warm and I was drenched with sweat after only an hour. I after that hour I walked up to the kingdom and told Isis that it was too hot for me today to work. She got the guard and he pulled me down to the underground. He chopped of my head and then I was gone forever. Now I wonder what will happen to my parents when they get back home. But I am excited about my afterlife.

Blogpost #3

There is actually no reason except he doesn't want to become a brainwashed adult which is also the problem with Zhan-Pole( Beanpole), Henry and basically every boy and girl on earth. The is though one other reason. He had noticed that his cousin (Jack) was very different from before and was kind of boring because he acted like an adult. And of course neither Henry or Will would want to be like Jack. So Will feels scared of the capping because he never knew what it was like so of course he was scared. Which is also the same case with every other child. This is also the reason why the boys are going to the White Mountains (The Alps) to get the fake cap thing. Will also will become like his parents when he wears that cap and who knows what would happen. The reason he would be scared was when he would be lifted up by a gigantic Tripod. The bad and embarrassing part is of course shaving all your hair so the cap can be put on top of your head. This is what Will feels about the capping.

They were able to control people maybe by signals that came from them and sent it to all the cap in the world and make them do things. They could also maybe have this electric shock thing on the cap and if the capped people don't listen or obey, they get shocked in the head.

Will really likes it there even though he is also uncomfertable because Comtesse, Eloise and Comte are capped. They are very nice but the boys cannot share their plans because even though the other people are very nice they are still capped and controlled people. Will is ill and decides to stay there and tell the other two boys to leave him. But they all three went together. So Will likes the castle and everything but he just can stay there with all those capped people.

The Importance of Beanpole

For this situation, Beanpole was a lot help for Henry and Will. There are a few reasons why. The first reason, he is a French person so if they were alone without Beanpole they might not know where to go or ask the French people. So Beanpole knew the way to the White Mountains (The Alps) and if Will and Henry weren't with Beanpole they would maybe be dead or lost.

The next reason, Beanpole also was a lot of help when they were going through the City of Ancients or Will and Henry might have lost their way. Even though Beanpole wanted to go around because it was safer, but took longer to walk around.

So... how am I like Will?

I am like Will sometimes because I have quite an annoying cousin who likes to fight with me and he is older than me so I always lose. I also have parents that are brainwashed sometimes because they don't listen to me and talks to themselves. My annoying cousin made me cry when I was 7 years old because we were on my cousins trampoline when he kicked me in the stomach when we were fighting. But this wasn't supposed to be painful fighting, this was actually supposed to be fun a fighting even though sometimes I do not want to fight. I hate it when my parent kind of ignores me when I'm talking to them because their reading or angry or being on the computer. I'm kind of like Will in some ways but you can't compare me to him.
