Comparing Zinn's Use Of Language And Tone

157 Words1 Pages
Both authors use the type of language and tone that try to persuade us, the readers, to makes us believe what they claim is true relying on evidence and using them to their convenience. Schweikart and Allen want to make us believe that Native Americans have that weakness on adaptation, a deficiency that make the reader think the authors objective is to justify the fact that the Natives Americans were mistreated by the Americans. On the other hand, Zinn uses a tone that make us believe that Americans are liars and selfish. The Americans in other words took advantage of the Indians, making it seem like the Indians were easily persuade just so they can fit in with the Americans, even though what they were promised was never going to become a reality.
