Assertion Analysis #6

Chief Joseph is done with how he has lost so many people through out his life and how painful it was. Now they have nothing. His children are gone, driven by the mad white folks because they ran into the hills with no food, water or blankets. As a father, without his children he'd be nothing more with nothing left in his life.. The author uses a couple rhetorical devices with  asserting his tired-like tone by like saying, "From where the sun stands now i will fight no more forever". He says this trying to say that he is done fighting he has done all he could for his people. He also says, "No ones knows where they are- perhaps freezing to death". The situation escalated to its worse and cannot be recovered from it.
