Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

that we must rely on god himself, and our whole dependence must be upon him. if trouble from smaller matters begin to arise in me, i have something at hand to check myself with, and say, why am i troubled? it was but the other day that if i had had the world, i would have given it for my freedom, or to have been a servant to a christian. i have learned to look beyond present and smaller troubles, and to be quieted under them. as moses said, "stand still and see the salvation of the lord" (exodus 14.13).

what is rowlandson’s intended purpose for including this ending?

to show native american compassion

to show puritans the cruelty of god’s wrath

to convince native americans to convert to her religion

to convince puritans to strengthen their faith in god

Rowlandson includes this ending to help the Puritans, through her testemony, that they dont't need to worry or fear, because, even if any of them were taken captive, they must trust, rely on God and depend completely upon Him, and then, tey will 'see the salvation of the Lord", as promissed in the book of the Bible, Exodus.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
