Please explain your answers! If you spam or just give me a link, I will report you :) 1) Read the excerpt from Eleven Years in the Rocky Mountains and Life on the Frontier by Frances Fuller Victor below and think about what part of it Victor may have embellished to make her story flow.

Sublette had his little force line up for battle. On came the savages, whooping and swinging their weapons above their heads. Sublette turned to his men. "When you hear my shot, then fire." Still they came on, until within about fifty paces of the line of waiting men. Sublette turned his head and saw his command with their guns all up to their faces ready to fire, then raised his own gun.

What part of this scene did Victor most likely imagine?

how the Native Americans behaved as they raced towards the men

how Sublette had his men arranged in a line

how Sublette looked at his men right before raising his gun

2) Which phrase from the story "Po-No-Kah" provides textual evidence for the inference that settling the frontier required exceptional character?

"Bright and early the next morning, the children stood in the doorway, eagerly looking out for Tom."

"Here he had planted and gathered his crops year after year, and in spite of annoyances from the Indians, who robbed his fields..."

"Bessie Hedden was a merry-hearted creature..."

3) Read the following quote: "Your invention of the alphabet is worth more to your people than two bags full of gold in the hands of every Cherokee." -Sam Houston (from History of Sequoyah, Cherokee. org)

This text suggests that Sequoyah was an important part of Cherokee history. How does the following historical account of Sequoyah build on or challenge that idea?

"Between the years of 1809 and 1821, [Sequoyah] accomplished a feat, which no other person in history has done single-handedly. Through the development of the Cherokee Syllabary, he brought people literacy and the gift of communicating through long distances and the ages. This one person brought to his people this great gift without hired educators, no books, and no cost." - From History of Sequoyah, Cherokee. org

He gives his motivation for inventing the alphabet.

It describes how his invention brought the Cherokee Nation literacy and the ability to tell their stories and troubles through the years.

It explains other people in history have done the same thing as Sequoyah.
