Ihad often before this said that if the indians should come, i should choose rather to be killed by them than taken alive, but when it came to the trial my mind changed; their glittering weapons so daunted my spirit, that i chose rather to go along with those (as i may say) ravenous beasts, than that moment to end my days; and that i may the better declare what happened to me during that grievous captivity, i shall particularly speak of the several removes we had up and down the wilderness." (mary white rowlandson, narrative of the captivity and restoration of mrs. mary rowlandson, 1682) the perspective of this passage can best be described as: 1. general 2. the author herself 3. specific to beasts 4. specific to people in the house

The perspective of the passage below can be best described as:

2. the author herself

I had often before this said that if the Indians should come, I should choose rather to be killed by them than taken alive, but when it came to the trial my mind changed; their glittering weapons so daunted my spirit, that I chose rather to go along with those (as I may say) ravenous beasts, than that moment to end my days; and that I may the better declare what happened to me during that grievous captivity, I shall particularly speak of the several removes we had up and down the wilderness."()

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is the following: First, we can read that the text is narrated in the first person in the past. Meaning that these events are portrayed by the author or it was written as an autobiographical fiction story. Second, we observe that in the final part of the text there is a reference for the quote: Mary White Rowlandson, 1682. Making us know that the author truly lived these events. Because they are part of the Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
