Part A How does Black Hawk use rhetoric in this excerpt to advance his purpose of condemning the white men? The white men are bad school-masters; they carry false looks, and deal in false actions; they smile in the face of the poor Indian to cheat him; they shake them by the hand to gain their confidence, to make them drunk, to deceive them, and ruin our wives. He uses a metaphor to suggest that white people have proven themselves unworthy of the authority they wield. He understates the idea that white people are dangerous to make the challenge sound less difficult than it is. He corrects or qualifies a statement to refine the depths of depravity that ought to be attributed to white people. He appeals to logic to overcome the fallacy that white people are moral and worthy of trust. Part B How does the phrase "carry false looks, and deal in false actions" affect the depiction of white men in the excerpt in Part A? It implies that their behavior makes them feel guilty. It insinuates that they are paid to trick the Indians. It explains that they are physically strong. It suggests that their deceitful acts are intentional.
