It is very difficult to know the intentions of the writers of the texts, especially on Rowlandson’s case because the versions we have, although were written by herself, were also edited and revised by some Puritans Reverends and the real intentions are lost. However there are some ideas that can be found on the cover page, under the title when she says that it is “written by her own hand, for her private use” but lately published after some friends’ requests “for the benefit of the afflicted.” Those types of texts, catalogued within the captivity narrative genre, are “valuable documents charting our literary and cultural history” (Derouninan-Stodola, 253).

Seeing Auschwitz’s camp through Elie's eyes is very different from seeing it in any other way. It still seems unbelievable that an entire nation was sentenced to death just because they did not have blue eyes and blond hair. The cruelty that was used to remove the jews from their homes is terrifying.

This happened because Kamehameha III didn’t want foreigners take over Hawai’i like they did with Tahiti. Kamehameha III also made the Mahele so the foreigners could purchase some of Hawaii's land. The Mahele went downhill once the foreigners started taxing and buying the land that the Hawaiians lived on (Kuloku). Therefore, the Mahele was unjustified because the foreigners stole the Hawaiians land, there were no timber to cook and build, and the land agents only communicated with the Hawaiians.
