Q2: 2A. Las Casas was located in the New World‚ more specifically‚ on an island where natives were enslaved by the Spaniards. He was right in the midst of encountering Indian treatment at its cruelest. It would be hard not to form a bias when Indians who seem to do no wrong are being tortured for what appears to be for the sake of the invader’s enjoyment. 2B. Because Las Casas was a priest‚ he becomes a much more reliable source than the average person because of religious reputation. Priests should

Both Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and John Smith hold different attitudes regarding their accounts of Indian life. The difference in attitudes may have resulted from the difference in treatments that each man received while in captivity. De Vaca’s experience is a humbling one. His account of Indian life is written in a thoughtful manner‚ and he describes the Indians kindly. While he describes his captivity as “melancholy and wretched” (De Vaca 34)‚ it’s clear that he harbors no ill feelings towards

Reading about him amazes me‚ his involvement in education was almost by accident‚ without ever consciously setting out to do so. He lived in a time when society was characterized by great disparity between the rich and the poor.

Wikipedia has an excellent short explanation on the doubtful
