Question

several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces. they were instructed in all your sciences, but when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods, unable to bear either cold or hunger, knew neither how to build a cabin, take a deer, or kill an enemy, spoke our language imperfectly, and therefore were neither fit for hunters, warriors, nor councilors. they were totally good for nothing. we are however not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we decline accepting it; and to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take great care of their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them. adapted from chief canassatego, \on colonizing education\ in the text in bold, what rhetorical strategy does chief canassatego use? he uses repetition. he makes a comparison. he uses a symbol. he tells a story.

Explanation:

El texto en negrita compara a los jóvenes educados en las universidades de las provincias del norte (que no son buenos para cazar, luchar o ser consejeros) con cómo él (y su comunidad) podrían educar a los hijos de los caballeros de Virginia para hacerlos "hombres" (capaces de cazar, luchar y ser consejeros). Esta comparación muestra su crítica a la educación colonial y su confianza en la educación tradicional.

He makes a comparison.
