Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, and answer the question that follows:
Yet deeper than character, or even place, is another concept: voice. More than any other
doorway to the imagination, I find this one the trickiest to open-and the hardest to close. For a
character's true voice is heard, its tones, cadences, and ideas are long remembered.
The ancients (people from ancient history] used anima, in fact, to describe breath as well as
soul. That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath-the voice-of a character lies its essential

Need 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.
