Fortunately, in that moment of “desperate extremity,” the Powhatans brought food and rescued the starving strangers. A year later, several hundred more settlers arrived, and again they quickly ran out of provisions. They were forced to eat “dogs, cats, rats, and mice,” even “CORPSES” dug from graves. “Some have licked up the blood which hathfallen from their weak fellows,” a survivor reported. “One member of our colony murdered his wife, ripped the child out of her womb and threw it into the river, and after chopped the mother in pieces and salted her for his food, the same not being discovered before he had eaten part thereof.” “So great was our famine,” John Smith stated, “that a savage we slew and buried, the poorer sort took him up again and ate him; and so did diverse one another boiled and stewed with roots and herbs.”

Answer:
Her perspective changed when she realized that too many lives have been lost while she quietly observes, in accordance to her Mormon belief of not questioning things and keeping quiet about it.
Explanation:
In her account of her family's Mormon beliefs and fights against the hereditary cancer that seemed to take a toll on them, Terry Tempest Williams wrote about how she had quietly observed the pain and struggle according to her Mormon belief. She wrote <em>The Clan of One-Breasted Women</em> to reveal how this blind faith has led to the quiet observance of the deaths and sufferings of the women in her life.
She admits that though her family/ community's belief made everything seem fine. She remembers being taught that <em>"authority is respected, obedience is revered, and independent thinking is not."</em> She was also warned as a small girl not to <em>"make waves"</em> or <em>"rock the boat"</em>, which she had been doing until the cancer cases became more than she can simply let go. She came to realize how much damage has been done while she plays the silent spectator. She decides that her beliefs may not be the main cause of the deaths of the many beautiful people in her life. But being silent even after all the loss in her life is not something that she can endure anymore. This realization brought a change in her perspective on her Mormon faith.
