Now name the hardships you will write about.

Begin your opening paragraph with the hardship that was the least hard to deal with. Explain & elaborate.

Continue explaining each hardship in a paragraph in increasing order of difficulty.

In the concluding paragraph briefly touch upon each problem you just wrote on.

Hope this helps

You may find it helpful to use an outline to organize the essay before you begin to write it. I noted a couple of websites below to help you with writing an outline.

-Religious Prejudice from England

-Running Out of food/finding food

-Horrible Ship Conditions

Look for more info on web sites.
