Charlot's [He has filled graves with our bones] p385

Charlot's piece about his men and the "white man" really conjures up serious arguments on the morality of men and whos rights that need ammendment. If the white man who Charlot is speaking to were to read this, would he be convinced?

Ontop of these thoughts, the piece has a most defined tone. Words gathered up, and I could just feel his suffering, deep anger and frustration. Charlot writes so well, after reading, I think the white man would know very well what he said.

Adam and Eve, the cross, and murder are some of Charlot's strongest points. First of all, I know who Charlot is. He's saying "white man." "Yes, my people, the white man wants us to pay him. He comes in his intent, and says we must pay him - pay him for our own - for the things we have from our God and our forefathers; for things he never owned, and never gave us." p385

Charlot is one of the "poor Flatheads" looking at the white man. To demonstrate his knowledge he writes a reference to Adam and Eve, "He says his story is that man was rejected and cast off. Why not reject him forever?" p386 We see Charlot and his people aren't just whinning, he is coming from a whole new language and knows who and what the white man believes.

"He says one of his virgins had a son nailed to death on two cross sticks to save him. Were all of them dead then when that young man died, we would all be safe now and our country our own." p386 Charlot is comparing both ideas to the white man's treatment of his people.

He seems to be asking, is this what your god wants? Charlot, knowing the white man, gives a reason for Jesus dying to free us of sin. He described the white man as: A "roving skulk," first; a natural lier, next; and, withal, a murderer, a tyrant." p386

This hits home because the story of Adam and Eve and Jesus' resurrection are highlights of the white man's education and beliefs. Finally, the murder is like the last punch and pow. Charlot goes from religion to an act of kindness in exchange for brutality. The story of the murder ties in with Charlot's reasoning, how should we owe you anything when all we had was nothing but kindness to give to you?

All throughout the reading Charlot infuses the idea that the white man wants more. The first, third, fifth, seventh straight forward and every other paragraph mentions how the white man wants more.

This idea is highlighted by the murder. Charlot describes in the most sympathetic tone the care the daughter gave the white men when they were poor and had so little. Considering how it is taught to leave the biggest argument and the strongest evidence at the end of an essay, Charlot left this murder at the end showing what he is saying of the white man is definately true. You can't argue that murder is not wrong like the white man said of Charlot and his people.

After this said Charlot again says they still want more. This setts the tone so strong. "His avarice put him in debt, and he wants us to pay him for it and be his fools...We, the poor Flatheads, who never troubled him, he wants now to distress and make poorer."p387

Not only this kind of tone he setts, we can also hear the sarcasm with anger and frustration. Charlot writes throwing questions one after another about why his people aren't wrong.

"Does not his breath, his gums, stink? His jaws lose their teeth, and he stamps them with false ones; yet he is not ashamed. No, no; his course is destruction; he spoils what the Spirit who gave us this country made beautiful and clean."p385

We can see he isn't clueless about is questions, he answers them loudly with the "no, no," and quickly hurls the statement in which he based the whole writing on. He knows the white man is destructing and he tells us that's not hard to wonder why.
