Mary Rowlandson

     Mary Rowlandson had a very difficult life. She wrote about her captivity amongst the indian peoples. She wrote about the difficulties of surviving and the loss of her child as well as the anger and frustration she had toward the Native Americans. However you can notice a real change in the way that she writes as she continues to survive her journey with the native americans. She talks about them being barbarack, with out compassion, and very violent, but that changed as time went on. She started talking about them as people as time went on because of her observations of the body of the people. She soon started to see traces of humanity, especially when they buried her dead child.
