Read the passage.
A hazard of communicating with friends electronically instead of talking with them in person or over the phone is that the nuances of their meaning may be lost. If they respond in a curt sentence or phrase, the receiver of the e-mail may misunderstand the writer’s meaning and become offended. When someone e-mails a question, and the recipient delays responding because he or she is unsure how to answer, the sender may think the other person doesn’t care. In face-to-face communication, there might be a response such as “I don’t know” or “Can I get back to you on that?” A concerned look or shrug of the shoulders will also let a friend know that the other person is listening. But not responding to an e-mail is similar to walking away from a person and saying nothing. They don’t know if they have been heard. Through digital media, misunderstandings can happen and feelings can get hurt.

Need asap how does black hawk’s rhetoric in this excerpt advance his viewpoint that his cultural experience has fueled in him great animosity for white men? the white men despise the indians, and drive them from their homes. but the indians are not deceitful. the white men speak bad of the indian, and look at him spitefully. but the indian does not tell lies; indians do not steal. a-he creates an extended metaphor to suggest he has a thorough understanding of white men. b-he uses alliteration to emphasize the morals and values of the indians. c-he employs personification to capture the confusion he feels when dealing with white men. d-he contrasts the image of white men driving indians from their homes with examples of the admirable conduct of indians.
