    What does it take to be number one? As we know everyone loves a winner. Most people if they were asked who the fastest man in the world was? They would correctly answer with the name Usain Bolt. Nobody remembers number two right? However, let us imagine Mr. Bolt being told that he could compete in track and field but he could not officially win any medal because he was Jamaican. Sounds far-fetched today and against our values and everything we stand for in the 21st century? Well in the 1800s, things were very different especially for women and Mary Calkins was no exception.

    Mary Rowlandson

    In From A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson by Mary Rowlandson, the use of first person narrative helped me feel like I was there in her shoes getting abducted by Indians. The details she used helped me stay interested and keep reading. The tone Rowlandson used was hopeful. Even though she was taken captive by Indians she stayed hopeful that she would return to civilization. The purpose of Rowlandson’s story is to inform the reader of the story of her and her family being abducted by Indians in the attack on Lancaster in 1675. During these rough times she turned to Christianity and the comfort of the bible to help her through this devastating time in her life. Rowland states “Yet the Lord still shewed mercy to me, and helped me; and as he wounded me with one hand, so he healed me with the other. Christopher Columbus wrote the letter to Luis de Santangel to inform him of his discoveries of a series of islands on the edge of the Indian Ocean while he was on his voyage. He also stated that he had taken possession of the islands and named each of them a different name. Christopher Columbus describes each of the islands and the natives. The first person narrative form helps the purpose because the narrator is speaking directly to the reader. This helps the reader stay focused on the thoughts and opinions of the narrator instead of switching from one narrator to the other. The tone Christopher Columbus uses in his letter to Luis de Santangel is excitement. He is so thrilled and filled with joy to have found the island. Columbus’s tone changes in the fourth letter to Ferdinand and Isabel to a negative or sad tone. Columbus states “Of Espanola, Paria, and the other lands, I never think without weeping, I believed that their example would have been to the profit of others; on the contrary, they are in an exhausted state; although they are not dead, the infirmity is incurable or very extensive; let him who brought them to this state come now…
