She keeps a steady stream of verses from the Bible, for instance, “Yet the Lord by His almighty power preserved a number of us from death…” (Baym, 2013) is an example of God’s protective powers. Rowlandson readily credits God with all the positive things that happen especially preserving her life. She is also of the belief that God punishes backsliders, as shown when she utters the verse “…God strengthened them to be a scourge to his people” because “… Our perverse and evil carriages in the sight of the Lord, have so offended Him, that instead of turning His hand against them, the Lord feeds and nourishes them up to be a scourge to the whole land.” (Baym, 2013) Here Rowlandson is telling the reader that God used the Natives as a weapon against His chosen people because they had fallen out of step with his word.

This can only be inferred as she begins her writing with the attack. Although, she does not say what she expected of the soldiers, her whole family stayed inside their home expecting to be saved and for the attack to come to an end. She as well as the other women within the household were to take care of the children and the home. It is only when the fire over her head forces her to escape outside, only to get shot and taken captive. This is demonstrated later on her writings in the fifth remove, “English army after them to this river, and saw the smoke of their wigwams, and yet this river puts a stop to them. God did not give them courage or activity to go after us” (294). Therefore, showing the incapability of the soldiers

To start off with, I chose her because she is a quirky character with not very many friends. Many people don’t know what to think of her and usually assume that she's crazy. This is shown in the quote, “The girl gave off an aura of distinct dottiness. Perhaps it was the fact that she had stuck her wand behind her left ear for safekeeping,
