~ Journal about my life ~
I realized that i
should write a journal so that in later world, people can know who I am and
what i did for the world.
Let’s start off with my basic
information.
My “real” name is
Giovanni Cabot though I am commonly known as John Cabot throughout the
world. I was born in Genoa, Italy in 1450.
My surname ‘Cabot’ means “a coastal seaman” which was quite a common name given
to sailors or navigators. My original nationality is Genovese but later on-wards I
become a Venetian. My religion is Roman Catholic. However, though I didn't have
any siblings, I never felt lonely because my parents were always there with me.
My childhood days in Genoa were
memorable.
I forgot to mention this, but I am the
son of a spice merchant, Guilo Cabot who I don’t
think you may not know. I am glad that i have a father like him. He used to
shout at me when I didn't follow his instructions but he also gave me kindness
and so much love. One of my dreams were to become like my father, Guilo Cabot.
My mother, Patricia Morgan Cabot had a charming face and personality. She took care of me and
developed me to a better person. I am happy about both my parents.
In my books I often describe how North America was discovered by John Cabot. In this blog I would like to know if he actually kept a journal and if these are the translations. The seem like very modern English and I would like to know what they were taken from; the source documents.
