Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
About the time of the massacre of "Kaskiyeh (1858) we heard that some white men were measuring land to the south of us. In company with a number of other warriors I went to visit them. We could not understand them very well, for we had no interpreter, but we made a treaty with them by shaking hands and promising to be brothers. Then we made our camp near their camp, and they came to trade with us. We gave them buckskin, blankets, and ponies in exchange for shirts and provisions. We also brought them game, for which they gave us some money. We did not know the value of this money, but we kept it and later learned from the Navajo Indians that it was very valuable. Every day they measured land with curious instruments and put down marks which we could not understand. They were good men, and we were sorry when they had gone on into the west. They were not soldiers. These were the first white men I ever saw. About ten years later some more white men came. These were all warriors. They made their camp on the Gila River south of Hot Springs. At first they were friendly and we did not dislike them, but they were not as good as those who came first.
What is indicated or foreshadowed by the events recorded in the first two paragraphs of the passage? A) A massive war is brewing. B) A peace treaty will soon be signed. c) The white men will not likely return. D) The Indians will soon be dispossessed of their land.
Answer:
D) The Indians will soon be dispossessed of their land.
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is a literary resource that allows the author to give information and tips on something that will still appear at a later point in the story plot. This is done to make the reader curious, anxious and apprehensive about how the facts will be presented.
In the text above, we can see an account of an indigenous man talking about the camps that white men set up on their land. The arrival of white warrior men foretells that, although friendly, they will take the land of the Indians for themselves, expropriating them from their poses and expelling them from the territory.

When we have a natural disaster you see all these people, place and organization pull together to help one another. Viewing the world as such a cruel environment most of the time, it's s nice to see the opposite side of human beings. I just hate to take something such as a natural disaster for people to actually come together as a whole and help each other

How does Angelou's comment about the liberal woman from Texas identify the immediate audience for her essay?
Answer:
By commenting that the "WHITE woman from Texas [. . . who was] a liberal" asked about her hometown, Maya Angelou presents us with the realization that the essay/ short story's intended audience is those white people who put themselves superior to the 'blacks' and the apparent disparity between the two.
Explanation:
Maya Angelou's short narrative story "My Name Is Margaret" is about the author's experience while staying with the Cullinan family. The short story revolves around her experience living as a black woman amidst the prejudice prevalent under racism.
On the very first lines of the first paragraph of the section, Maya Angelou started her story with the lines "RECENTLY A WHITE woman from Texas, who would quickly describe herself as a liberal, asked me about my hometown." With the emphasis on the words "RECENTLY A WHITE", she brings the focus on the 'race' of the woman. Added to that, she pointed out that she was "a liberal", from Texas. Considering the America of her time, it can be immediately inferred that this southern state of America will be under prejudicial discrimination against the blacks, thus confirming the intended audience as the white people who think themselves superior to the blacks while the blacks 'involuntarily' identify themselves as the lower race.

UBM
Answer:
B. I felt like a lost sheep in the wrong meadow.
Explanation:
Figurative language refers to use of words in a way that gives them an extra dimension, an additional meaning then the one intended. This is most often done by using simile, metaphor or personification.
The author here states that he felt like a sheep in a wrong meadow. He uses a comparison, a simile to convey another meaning, to express the feeling of confusion without explicitly writing it, but rather by creating images in our mind to explain his feeling through a use of figurative language.

Do you think his scare tactics accomplished his real goal-improving the morality of the sinner and prompting religious revival? Are scare tactics still an effective persuasive method in todays world? what are some alternatives to persuade people, or is fear the best method? explain thoroughly.
Answer/Explanation:
The scare tactic does work toward the authors goal in this book. However, fear isn't always the best persuasive option in a writing. though it is still effective in counseling, preaching, etc. the best ways to persuade a reader is through the methods of repetition, rhetorical questions, powerful questions, emotive language use, etc. The best methods are to play with another's' emotions in a positive manner without sparking any painful thoughts or feelings in the reader.
