Answer:

D: He uses figurative language to convey the idea that white people morally corrupt Native Americans.

Explanation:

In the 1832 surrender speech by Black Hawk, the Indian leader expressed his hatred for the white people who came only to destroy his land and his people. The main idea of his speech was to emphasize the need for the Native Indians to fight against the whites and preserve their lands and traditions.

In the given lines from the speech, Black Hawk uses figurative language to describe the whites. He uses a simile, comparing the whites to <em>"snakes . . . coiled themselves among us like snakes. They poisoned us by their touch."</em> And they have made them <em>"hypocrites and liars, adulterers, lazy drones, all talkers, and no workers."</em> Through this imagery, Black Hawk <u>conveys the idea that white people are morally corrupt and must not be trusted.</u>

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Generally, the epics, legends, myths and other stories told in a traditional way have the objective of consolidating the culture in which they develop, encouraging individuals in particular and society in general to unite behind those stories, creating a common culture and a common idiosyncrasy that unifies them as a nation. That is to say, epics and other stories allow to create or consolidate a certain culture, and adapt it to a certain people or society.
