Write a thoughtful answer to ONE of the two questions I pose. Make sure to address all parts of the question.  2 paragraphs or at least 10 sentences is a safe barometer. (Due Thursday at 3 pm) (10 points)
 

1.  Analytical: What do you think Las Casas was trying to accomplish by writing this book about the Spanish treatment of the Indians? Who is his audience?  (Meaning, who was he trying to convince)?  Non-analytical: What struck you most about this document and why?

2. Analytical: What does this short document from 1609 tell us about the relationship between the Powhatan Indians and the English colonists in Virginia.  What was Powhatan trying to accomplish and why?  Non-analytical: What struck you most about this document and why?
