Answer:

Hi!

The answer to your question would be option A: <em>It builds suspense as we realize that Rainsford hears gunshots but cannot see anything</em>.

Explanation:

This passage builds up the suspense in the story because our hero is having difficulties of how to cope with the challenges ahead of him. To start with, we are told that Rainsford strained his eyes to see but couldn't see anything as he felt he was seeing things through a blanket. This shows that he didn't have a clear view and build suspense as this puts our hero in a vulnerable position.

In “Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America,” Franklin asserts that the colonists are the true “Savages” (not the Native
Alex787 [66]

Answer: Franklin asserts that the colonists are the true “<em>savages</em>” and not the native American because he says:

<em>When any of them come into our towns, our people are apt to crowd around them, gaze upon them, and incommode them where they desire to be private; this they esteem great rudeness.</em>

Franklin is explaining that “civilized” people in America does not know how to treat those who are different, instead of being polite and educated, they surround native Americans as if they were not people, but animals, who are strange and deserve looks of astonishment and confusion. The civilized people cannot be considered and put themselves in the place of these people, which is standing in a complete new place surrounded by strangers.  

Another argument that Franklin brings about is the fact that colonizers invaded native American territories never asking for permission and treating them as savages when they were in fact behaving as barbarians. He compares it to what would happen if a native American entered in a white man’s home.  

<em>"If I go into a white man’s house at Albany, and ask for victuals and drink, they say, ‘where is your money?’ and I have none, they say, Get out, you Indian dog”</em>

Native Americans always had to put up with the colonizers impositions and they never received some gratitude in return. Whereas Native Americans are examples of politeness and wisdom, white man had always act like savages, showing the worst side of humans.
