Prove! by Melissa Neuhauser https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/g3d3i90s1zzs en-us 2019-11-06 15:05:57 UTC 2026-02-04 04:23:07 UTC hello@padlet.com Hannah and Gavin https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/g3d3i90s1zzs/wish/407613171      The article, "The Ship's Boys" is historical fiction.  It is historical fiction because it uses an authentic historical setting. For example, in the first sentence, the passage tells you the date. "...late fall of 1607..." This shows that it was, fiction or not, in a real-time frame.
      Also, the dialogue was more proper.  As an illustration, when Richard meets Nathaniel, he says, "'I'm Richard, and likewise.'" Today, nobody would say that.
     Finally, in the passage, Nathanial and Richard used an hourglass to keep time. Today we would use a watch.
 The passage is also from the first-person point of view. The passage states " ...I turned away from my familiar England, and
      
     
This evidence proves that "The Ship's Boys" is historical fiction.

THIS IS BUDDY'S COUSIN!!!!

In paragraph 2, it said how the ship was Susan Constant. It sounds like and is an older type of ship that has existed back in that era of time. 
  In the passage, Richard said "I'm Richard likewise,".But today, Thay would say," I'm Richard, My dude." My point is proven.]]> 2019-11-06 17:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/g3d3i90s1zzs/wish/407613808 Ian and Finley ianschlarb1 https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/g3d3i90s1zzs/wish/407613901      The passage, "The Ship's Boys"  is historical fiction because it has real places to match the dates.  The text in paragraph 1, the text states, "... in the late fall of 1607, I was accepted as a ship's boy on the Susan Constant, one of three sailing vessels headed from England to the New World in search of gold and glory."  This proves that it is an event that happened in 1607. This is one example of why "The Ship's Boys" article is real.

Another reason why "The ships boys" is a historical fiction text is because it has real people from the real world in the story."

It is historical fiction because the story has dialogue that sounds realistic for the time.  For example in the passage it says,  " .....  Pleased to make your acquaintance."

It is also historical fiction because it is in first point of view. For example, in the passage it says

      "Ships Boy" is a historical fiction. The first reason of this is because of the date, in paragraph 1, "... in the late fall of 1607, I was accepted as a ship's boy on the Susan Constant, on of the three sailing vessels heading from England to the New World in search of gold and glory." This explains that the date was in 1607 which was a date within history. 

     Another example to prove this is in paragraph 6 it says "... Nathanial and I worked side by side on the Susan Constant-through storms, illness, and even mutiny. One man died on the journey..." This explains events that could happen on the Susan Constant.

In the story the characters refer to America as the new land. Also in the story, the Susan Constant is a ship, unlike today you don't see pirate ships. A different reason it is historical fiction is they talked like how they would back then. One example of this is on paragraph 7 It says that  " Pleased to make your acquaintance." Now what we would say Nice to meet you. That is how it is historical fiction.   ]]> 2019-11-06 17:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/g3d3i90s1zzs/wish/407619622 https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/g3d3i90s1zzs/wish/407620673 2019-11-06 17:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/g3d3i90s1zzs/wish/407620673 Maren and Kelly cont... kelly_baird https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/g3d3i90s1zzs/wish/407630511   ]]> 2019-11-06 18:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/g3d3i90s1zzs/wish/407630511
