Answer:
To be honest, due to this being a English question about slavery. It's not my best subject, though the only answer I can give you would probably be the second choice, 'to show that slavery is harmful to society'.

It's the only reasonable one. The last one is proving that slavery is right. The first one is just not as reasonable, and I just have a feeling it's the second one. Though, it might be wrong it's most reasonable in my case. Good luck!
The best insight to life during the late 1600s, especially in the Colonies, is the uncertainty of life, how at the time nobody could take anything for granted.
Rowlandson learns from the attack that no one is guaranteed life, no life is above the mishaps of existence (which were even more plentiful at that time) and life can be short and brutal.
Nonetheless, another aspect of the story that offers a powerful insight into life at that time is her unwavering faith in God's will. Throughout the whole experience, Rowlandson keeps her faith and perceives everything that happens into a blessing or a doing of God.
