Essay / Analysis of Richard Pratt: Kill the Indian and save him...
His logos were, to begin with, very convincing. When he spoke about the ability of African Americans to endure civil customs even when they were invisible to society, he became a perfect example of his perspective on Native Americans and his disapproval of reservations, and his use of pathos also played a key role in convincing. us to give the indigenous people a chance to become one with the nation. Especially when he addresses the audience directly and asks: "Why not try Indians?" Why not invite them to live experiences in our communities? Why always invite and force them to remain a people in their own right? If it weren't for reformers like Richard Pratt, I believe Native Americans would be nothing more than the land we walk on.
