Question

Analyze the Hopi story “How the Spaniards Came to Shung-opovi, How They Built a Mission, and How the Hopi Destroyed the Mission,” and determine its audience and purpose.

Answer 1

After

analyzing the text that was presented above I came to the conclusion

that the main point of view is that the Spaniards

were trying to change the religion of the Hopi people.

This

is apparent because from the beginning the Spaniards started building

missions making the people believe that the priests were the saviors.

found in paragraph #4

“"The

missionary did not like the ceremonies. He did not like the Kachinas

and he destroyed the altars and the customs. He called it idol

worship and burned up all the ceremonial things in the plaza.” 

found in paragraph #7

"When

this mission was finally built, all the people in the village had to

come there to worship, and those that did not come were punished

severely. In that way their own religion was altogether wiped out,

because they were not allowed to worship in their own way." 

I

hope this helps, Regards.
