PLZ ANSWER, 50 POINTS Gottlieb Mittelberger was a schoolteacher who left Germany in May of 1750 to make his journey to America. He arrived at the port of Philadelphia in October of that year, and kept a diary detailing his experience on the journey. Read an excerpt from his firsthand account.

After reading the excerpt, briefly compare the man’s account of life on a ship to Avi’s portrayal of it in The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. What are the main differences and similarities between each portrayal? Your response should be about 150 words.

    Both endure much suffering on the ships. They have a limited supply of food and water. That being said, Charlotte does not have to go through near as much death and grievances as Gottlieb Mittelberger. What Charlotte Doyle goes through on the Sea Hawk is less tragic and unfair compared to harsh illnesses and treatments that Gottlieb went through. ''.during the voyage there is on board these ships terrible misery, stench, fumes, horror, vomiting, many kinds of seasickness, fever, dysentery, headache, heat, constipation, boils, scurvy, cancer, mouth rot, and the like, all of which come from old and sharply-salted food and meat, also from very bad and foul water, so that many die miserably. Add to this want of provisions, hunger, thirst, frost, heat, dampness, anxiety, want, afflictions and lamentations, together with other trouble, as e.g., the lice abound so frightfully, especially on sick people, that they can be scraped off the body. The misery reaches a climax when a gale rages for two or three nights and days, so that every one believes that the ship will go to the bottom with all human beings on board. In such a visitation the people cry and pray most piteously. '' Charlotte is offered fine treatment at the beginning of the book.

specific audience will understand the main ideas. for example, if you were writing an instruction manual for rocket scientists, it would likely look very different from one you would write for young children. your language, tone, and writing style would change significantly.
