Surrender Speech


by Black Hawk


1832


You have taken me prisoner with all my warriors. I am much grieved, for I expected, if I did not defeat you, to hold out much longer, and give you more trouble before I surrendered. I tried hard to bring you into ambush, but your last general understands Indian fighting. The first one was not so wise. When I saw that I could not beat you by Indian fighting, I determined to rush on you, and fight you face to face. I fought hard. But your guns were well aimed. The bullets flew like birds in the air, and whizzed by our ears like the wind through the trees in the winter. My warriors fell around me; it began to look dismal. I saw my evil day at hand. The sun rose dim on us in the morning, and at night it sunk in a dark cloud, and looked like a ball of fire. That was the last sun that shone on Black Hawk. His heart is dead, and no longer beats quick in his bosom. He is now a prisoner to the white men; they will do with him as they wish. But he can stand torture, and is not afraid of death. He is no coward. Black Hawk is an Indian.


He has done nothing for which an Indian ought to be ashamed. He has fought for his countrymen, the squaws and papooses, against white men, who came, year after year, to cheat them and take away their lands. You know the cause of our making war. It is known to all white men. They ought to be ashamed of it. The white men despise the Indians, and drive them from their homes. But the Indians are not deceitful. The white men speak bad of the Indian, and look at him spitefully. But the Indian does not tell lies; Indians do not steal.


An Indian who is as bad as the white men, could not live in our nation; he would be put to death, and eat [sic] up by the wolves. 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. We told them to let us alone; but they followed on and beset our paths, and they coiled themselves among us like the snake. They poisoned us by their touch. We were not safe. We lived in danger. We were becoming like them, hypocrites and liars, adulterers, lazy drones, all talkers, and no workers.


We looked up to the Great Spirit. We went to our great father. We were encouraged. His great council gave us fair words and big promises, but we got no satisfaction. Things were growing worse. There were no deer in the forest. The opossum and beaver were fled; the springs were drying up, and our squaws and papooses without victuals to keep them from starving; we called a great council and built a large fire. The spirit of our fathers arose and spoke to us to avenge our wrongs or die . . . . We set up the war-whoop, and dug up the tomahawk; our knives were ready, and the heart of Black Hawk swelled high in his bosom when he led his warriors to battle. He is satisfied. He will go to the world of spirits contented. He has done his duty. His father will meet him there, and commend him.


Black Hawk is a true Indian, and disdains to cry like a woman. He feels for his wife, his children and friends. But he does not care for himself. He cares for his nation and the Indians. They will suffer. He laments their fate. The white men do not scalp the head; but they do worse—they poison the heart, it is not pure with them. His countrymen will not be scalped, but they will, in a few years, become like the white men, so that you can’t trust them, and there must be, as in the white settlements, nearly as many officers as men, to take care of them and keep them in order.


Farewell, my nation. Black Hawk tried to save you, and avenge your wrongs. He drank the blood of some of the whites. He has been taken prisoner, and his plans are stopped. He can do no more. He is near his end. His sun is setting, and he will rise no more. Farewell to Black Hawk.

A es la respuesta correcta

25 points! Brainliest to the first honest opinion! I'm writing a novel and I need to get someones honest opinion on if it's a good start.


Let me tell you a story, starting from the beginning.


"No no no no no no no!" Winter raced through he woods trying to find a safe place to hide.


There was no place to hide. She was alone.


She couldn't turn back, because behind her was a killer. A killer who had slaughtered her entire family, and is now after her. She is scared, hurt and desperately trying to get away. Not only had the killer murdered her family, the killer was a demon, a demon who was once her lover.


He promised her love, love beyond anything that her world can offer. But as time passed, she realized how much of a monster he was. His true sadistic nature revealed itself, and she broke up with him. He would not take that. He loved her, and he was insane, so he promised her he would be back, and he would destroy everyone she ever loved. He was going to give her a fate worse than death, by sending her somewhere she could never escape, somewhere that is completely inhuman. He was sending her to a practical hell, and she had no idea as to where or what it was.


So there I was, running for my life from the man who trapped me and promised me eternal suffering. I know i'm not going to escape but I have to try. I just have to. There's no way I can face what he has in mind, not after all he's done to me in the past. I can only imagine the horrors he had in store for me in this hell he plans to send me to.


I stop and hide in a hollowed out tree. I know i'm probably not safe there, but I just sit there and wait. I'm only human, so you can't blame me for wanting to feel safe in an enclosed space, and I can only run for so long.


"Winter~ Come on out my snowflake, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to see you" I could hear his voice echoing, his voice alone sent shivers through me. He sounds like a psychopath, let me rephrase that, he is a psycho.


"WINTER! I know you're hiding, i can't hear your footsteps anymore." He was close "Come. out. now." My hear rate increased ten times over as I heard him come closer and closer. Then i saw him, he was right in front of me, i didn't know if he could see me, but i assumed he did considering how he yanked me out by my arm.


He held my arms tight and just smiled at me. I stared in his eyes, mine full of fear. I couldn't move, there was nothing I could do. so he dragged me back to my house, the same house that he turned to a slaughterhouse for my family.

The clouds go, nevertheless,
In their direction.
- Wallace Stevens

Lucy is writing about this excerpt from The Code Book. Only a small fraction of the information flowing around the world is securely encrypted, and the remainder is poorly encrypted, or not encrypted at all. This is because the number of Internet users is rapidly increasing, and yet few of these people take adequate precautions in terms of privacy. In turn, this means that national security organizations, law enforcers and anybody else with a curious mind can get their hands on more information than they can cope with. Which of Lucy’s lines best shows that she has made a personal connection to the reading? The author is explaining that much information is not encrypted. The author is explaining that Internet users must be more careful. This book helps me realize that much of my online information is not secure. This book helps me realize that there are too many people using the Internet. HURRY IM TIMED AND THANK YOU
