    1. What does Mary Rowlandson’s work lead the reader to believe about the Natives? Be descriptive (words‚ tone‚ etc.).  Her very descriptive use of language to describe what she witnessed was very good.  She convinced me that the Indians were uncivilized‚ ferocious and brutal in their attack.  She conveyed that they were also strategic‚ as she describes how they came in a large group and not only climbed on rooftops‚ but surrounded the house so as not to allow anyone inside to escape.  She was very

In about 1640 the English started building colonies in in the New England colonies in colonial America.
