European Reading:
The title of the reading is History of San Diego.The name of the author is William E. Smythe The reading is about the Native Americans who inhabited San Diego back before the pilgrims.The author’s point of view tells me that he thought that the Native Americans that were here before us were neither noble nor brave.No one ever called the San Diego Indian “the noble red man,” for he was neither noble nor red.This reading tells ms that the Europeans never thought much of the Native Americans who roamed the west coast.There were no orators among them and, it is to be feared, very few brave men, for when they fought they acted like a pack of cowards.

“A small island came floating in”
Josaih Jeremy About a girl who has a vision from the future come to her in a dream and the next morning coming to pass. The elders get mad at her because the vision came to her and not to one of the necromancers. That its not the women who should be blessed with these vision but the men, which leads me to believe that they don’t think women are as important as men.Some of them, especially the necromancers, were displeased; they did not like it that the coming of foreigners should have been intimated to this young girl, and not to them…”They thought that the men were the ones who had all the power in the tribes and if any women had something that the men did not they were discriminated against.Some of them, especially the necromancers, were displeased; they did not like it that the coming of foreigners should have been intimated to this young girl, and not to them…”
