Answer 2

Answer :

Keeler uses emotion in the following paragraph from "Thanksgiving: A Native American View" by using such words as “poor” and “pitiful” to make us understand how the American Indians viewed them.

'When the Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock, they were poor and hungry - half of them died within a few months from disease and hunger. When Squanto, a Wampanoag man, found them, they were in a pitiful state. He spoke English, having traveled to Europe, and took pity on them. Their English crops had failed. The native people fed them through the winter and taught them how to grow their food.'
