Colonial Life
John Banker

Hi my name is John Banker I am thirteen years old and I live on the skyline plantain in South Carolina. I am an orphan adopted by the Johnsons they own the skyline ranch. The only reason they adopted me is because their children are lazy and never do any work and they’re too cheap to buy a slave, so I’m more of an indentured servant than a high-class child. But I know I have It good because whenever we head up to George town and I see the real poor city kids.

The only thing I remember about my family are two things my brother and the fire. About eight years ago, my brother tom and me snuck out to go swimming while a big fire struck our house. (We lived in Norfolk Virginia). Eventually my brother and me ended up in an orphanage and within the month of the fire I was adopted by the Johnson’s but not my brother. I’m not sure what happened to him, he probably ran away

Enough about my family more about me, every more about me. Every morning I wake up at about five am, until six I clean up the barn. At about six thirty I get the Johnson’s five snotty children ready for school. I don’t go to school but I have learned how to read and write overtime, the Johnsons require it. Then from seven on I work on the farm until around eight pm then until nine the plantain is mine I teach myself, wood carve, and star gaze My name is John banker and I am an orphan that lucked out.
