Am was more than halfway home now. go back and give them a piece of his mind? sun was almost setting. probably be better to take the shortcut. which one called him a baby? was it tucker? tomorrow's saturday. should probably go back and tell him off right now
what is most likely the author's purpose for using this narrative style?

What can you infer about how the particular events in "the memoirs of the conquistador bernal del diaz de castillo" still affected the writer at the time of writing his memoir? he thinks of his dead crewmen with sadness and regrets that they died for nothing. he is still frustrated that one of his men accidentally kills himself by drinking too much water.  he thinks wistfully about the wealth he may have enjoyed if they had found gold in the yucatan.  he still considers indians liars.
