We will read Document F in the DBQ "Mansa Musa's Hajj: A Personal Journal".
Niani, October, 1375, Evening
It has been over 50 years since your journey as part of Mansa Musa's historic hajj. As you gather some special belongings to pass along to your grandson or granddaughter, you discover the personal journal that you kept during the journey. Reflecting on that time and the recently published and very popular Catalan Atlas that described the hajj, you decide to write a final entry. Did the journey turn out the way you hoped? Was it worth the time and money it cost? What was the lasting significance of Mansa Musa's journey? Record your thoughts in your journal.
Write 12 sentences that reflect on what you have lost and gained since the hajj.
