Answer:

Those words were like magic because it helped him to gain approval from the teachers who punished them when they spoke their native Navajo language.

Explanation:

In the mission school which Ned gained entrance to, it was forbidden for the students to speak their native language. Students caught violating this law were punished by having their mouths washed with soap. Their native names were also replaced with English names.

Ned soon learned that whenever he was called upon by the teachers, the best way to gain their approval was to answer with the words, "Yes, teacher." Answering with his native language would earn him some serious punishment.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

One thing that makes the text easy to write about

It is a very short text, with no abundance of punctuation marks or larger words in the sentences.

One thing that makes the text hard to write about

It can be very confusing if you try to understand it, why was there magic, how did the silk hat get there? It isn't one for context clues.

You could, but why? There is nothing significant to write about.
