Please answer these questions with explanations! Thank you :) Read the excerpt from Eleven Years in the Rocky Mountains and Life on the Frontier by Frances Fuller Victor below and think about what part of it Victor may have embellished to make her story flow.
Sublette had his little force line up for battle. On came the savages, whooping and swinging their weapons above their heads. Sublette turned to his men. "When you hear my shot, then fire." Still they came on, until within about fifty paces of the line of waiting men. Sublette turned his head and saw his command with their guns all up to their faces ready to fire, then raised his own gun.
What part of this scene did Victor most likely imagine?

a)what Sublette said to his men about firing

b) how the Native Americans behaved as they raced towards the men

c) how Sublette had his men arranged in a line

d) how Sublette looked at his men right before raising his gun

What is the difference between subjective and objective writing?

Why do storytellers and historians sometimes alter the facts when recounting a story?

Read the following quote: "Your invention of the alphabet is worth more to your people than two bags full of gold in the hands of every Cherokee." -Sam Houston (from History of Sequoyah, Cherokee. org)

This text suggests that Sequoyah was an important part of Cherokee history. How does the following historical account of Sequoyah build on or challenge that idea?

"Between the years of 1809 and 1821, [Sequoyah] accomplished a feat, which no other person in history has done single-handedly. Through the development of the Cherokee Syllabary, he brought people literacy and the gift of communicating through long distances and the ages. This one person brought to his people this great gift without hired educators, no books, and no cost." - From History of Sequoyah, Cherokee. org

He gives his motivation for inventing the alphabet.

It explains that the Cherokee had no language before him.

It describes how his invention brought the Cherokee Nation literacy and the ability to tell their stories and troubles through the years.

It explains other people in history have done the same thing as Sequoyah.

Below is an excerpt from School Days of an Indian Girl written by Zikala-Sa. Compare and contrast her attitude toward education to the attitudes in the previous passage. Explain why you think the Cherokee felt differently about learning Sequoyah's syllabary than Zitkala-Sa did about learning English.

"The melancholy of those black days has left so long a shadow that it darkens the path of years that has since gone by. These sad memories rise above those of smoothly grinding school days." -Zitkala-Sa, School Days of an Indian Girl
