Mary Rowlandson’s A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson has events which reinforce the stereotypical view of Native Americans in colonial times; however, she also has occasions when she encounters behavior contradicting her views.

Equiano vs Mary Rowlandson Human rights is defined as “the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are considered to be entitled, often held to include the rights to life, liberty, equality, and a fair trial, freedom from slavery and torture, and freedom of thought and expression.” This isn’t what Equiano or Rowlandson were allowed. Though both had different situations, they had many similarities as well.

The book “The Secret of Sarah Revere” is a very interesting book. I like the arguments that Grandmother and Rachel have because it make the book very interesting.

When he does not care it really means that he just doesn’t know or realize this is happening.
