I know this, because  in paragraph one it says, "I counted it as the luckiest day day of my life when, in the late fall of 1607, I was accepted as a ship's boy on the Susan Constant."  This proves that it is in first person, because it says, "I and me." 

     Also another way that it could be historical fiction could be the way they talked back then. In paragraph 8 is says, "I'm Nathaniel, said my rival with a smile, holding out his hand. 'Pleased to make your acquaintance.'" People don't say that in our time period. 

Also it could be historical fiction could be the authentic historical setting. In the article it states, "As the Susan Constant set sail on a frigid December day, I turned away from my familiar England and looked out onto the sea." Now if you go on a ship you have way more things to do than just look at the see. For these reasons this is why this was historical fiction.]]> 2019-11-06 15:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/zo2pim0s0v6e/wish/407486374 https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/zo2pim0s0v6e/wish/407486423 It says the date  in paragraph one that it is in the late fall of 1607.  In paragraph 1, the text states, "........in late fall of 1607. 

Its in first person because there is I, you, us, him and she. These words are things that would be in First-Person stories. On paragraph 1, the text says, "I counted it as the luckyest day of my life when, the late fall of 1607."

2. There's no realistic ways to know how these conversations actually would have gone
3.The character's dialouge is fit for the time being.
4. They used an hourglass.

 The genre of "The Ship's boys" is historical fiction. It is historical fiction because Nathaniel and Richard used an hourglass, which is something that we would not have used today. Also, if Nathaniel had actually seen the land first, we would have learned about him. Another reason it has to be historical fiction is because the boys dialouge is fit for the time setting, because they would not have introduced themselves casually unless it was todays day and age. For example, the captain said, " Ahoy there, lads!" The dialouge would not have been found if this weren't historical fiction. If it were nonfiction, it would go over their actions, not their words. This is why this story is historical fiction.]]> 2019-11-06 15:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/zo2pim0s0v6e/wish/407486467 https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/zo2pim0s0v6e/wish/407486567 1. "we kept time on the ship, using an hourglass to measure 30 minute periods..."

 2. "...holding out his hand. "Pleased to meet your acquaintance." 

3. " I counted it as the luckiest day of my life..."

Number one proves that they should have a better way to tell the time rather than have to flip an hourglass ever 30 minutes. Number two shows that this is only something that people would say in this time period. Finally, number three explains that they are using the first person in the story.

Some examples are in the story is says "Pleased to make your acquaintance."(para. 5)  Another example is the story says swab multiple times throughout the story. Also the author stated in (para 11) "LAND HO!!!!!!!"  

     Some more evidence stated in the story is the setting. The setting is described in 1607  in late fall (para 1). Then Also the setting was taken place on a ship called Susan Constant.( para 3)

     The last pieces of evidence are in paragraph 10. In this paragraph it says that they use an hourglass to measure thirty minute periods. Also it said they helped the ship's pilot steer the ship by reading the compass measurements.]]> 2019-11-06 15:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/zo2pim0s0v6e/wish/407486612 https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/zo2pim0s0v6e/wish/407486692            The Ship's Boys is historical fiction for several reasons. One reason is, it has the date of 1607.It uses dialogue that's appetite for this setting for example Natheil said pleased to meet your acquaintance now a days people say hello, it is nice to meet you.

        Another reason is there is events that could of really happened . They were on a trip on a sailboat and it was grueling , they went through storms , illness, , mutiny and a person died.Today if you went on on a cruise ship it would be very relaxing and nothing bad would happen.
     
Lastly they went to the "New World",and in history the "New World" is a real place plus it's our home north america. Those are the reasons that The Ship's boys is historical fiction.  ]]> 2019-11-06 15:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/zo2pim0s0v6e/wish/407486692 addison_durant https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/zo2pim0s0v6e/wish/407488111 We know it's Historical fiction because it has dialogue that sounds realistic. Also, in the first sentence it says 1607 which is an old time in history. Also they used the words "The New World" and not America. Another way I know it's Historical fiction is because they use words like "...Ahoy there lads, pleased to make your acquaintance, I'm Richard and likewise."  In the first paragraph it says 
"as the susan Constant set sail on a frigid December day, I turned away from my familiar England and looked out to sea, toward my limitless future" which is first person point of view. That's how we know its Historical Fiction.

A novel that makes up a story about a Civil War battle that really happened is an example of historical fiction.]]> 2019-11-06 15:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/melissaneuhauser1/zo2pim0s0v6e/wish/407498728
