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.

How does this passage contribute to the overall meaning of the story?
aksik [14]

Answer: Describing Crusoe's self-examination develops the idea of battling one's flaws.

Explanation: In this passage, Defoe manages to reveal bits of Crusoe's history while introducing, at the same time, the character's own sense of moral development. We can infer from the words "what would become of me" that the character feels in a more advance moral place, where he can recognize having learned <em>thankfulness</em> and having acquired the capacity for <em>remorse</em>.
