Answer:

1: ("The Little Horn Massacre") In this passage, the author's choice of wording and overall language have shown the reader a clear bias throughout the different parts of the text. For example, as stated in the text, "Custer was among the last who fell, but when his cheering voice was no longer heard, the Indians made easy work of the remainder.". This quote shown by the author proves that "Custer" was very important in many parts of the entire situation also showing that the author tells this perspective of the story based off Custer's point of view. The writers bias was taken against "Reno" as in the story and this is proven by this quote given in the example when again the story was told as Custer's way of seeing the scenario. If the story was reversed, the ending quote would have been about the effect on "Reno" not "Custer".

2: In, "The Battle of Greasy Grass", the point was shared with the viewer that the war, "was a watershed moment in History of Indigenous -  U.S. relations.". Then, in the passage titled, "The Little Horned Massacre", the war was also remembered as a disaster for the United States. In both sources, it explains similar outcomes of the war, but these messages are different by being effected through the story by the perspective in the writing. As stated in the text labeled, "The Battle of Greasy Grass", The U.S. soldiers gave themselves away with a dust cloud rising up as they approached the Greasy Grass encampment. The Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors were quickly ready. Crazy Horse led as many as 1,000 warriors to flank Custer's forces." This quote shows the quote would be spoken in 3rd person on behalf of the U.S. in this situation. Then, in the passage of, "The Little Horn Massacre", "The soldiers were repulsed and a wholesale slaughter ensued. Gen. Custer, his brother, his nephew, and his brother-in-law were killed, and not one of his detachment escaped.". Both of these examples show sentences from each source further proving how major this point in time was and much of any effect it had made, told as part of the message. But, if the perspectives were changed in either or both text, the thoughts of the scenario would change based on opinion and the message would too.

3:  While reading, "The Death of Gen. Custer: Sitting Bull Tells the Story of the Fight",  the purpose was to give details about the death of Custer from the perspective of his enemy, Sitting Bull. But, the death of Custer has still remained un-solved. Although, even though there are not many details proving this claim, Custer's enemy could be guilty for this incident. One of these examples would be stating, "Sioux and said: 'Custer is not in this division; he is in the other.' I then ordered all my men to come on and attack the other division.". This has proven that he was originally targeting Custer because The Sitting Bull lead his soldiers towards another group seeing Custer was not in his attacking rang at the time. Afterwards, The Sitting Bull had talked about the founding of the body of Custer and talked about it as anyone else who had been attacked then.

I did not think anything which you proclaimed strong enough to let a mortal override the gods and their unwritten and unchanging
MAVERICK [17]

The passage demonstrates the Greeks hold a strong posture over their undeniable superiority of the gods over mortals. It is stated that gods are the core element of existence and reside here to stay an eternity, and as such, their dominance shall not be jeopardized by any being other than a god. With these defensive claims of their beliefs, it is fair to say the Greeks thought that by understanding the gods, they would be understanding nature itself.
