Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Questions:
1. Does Cabeza de Vaca believe he has special powers as a healer? How do you know? Use evidence from the text to support your perspective. (100-150 words)
2. What are the elements of the “Texas Legend” according to Américo Paredes? In what sources does Paredes say they can be found? Choose another text in the list above and explain how it offers a counter-narrative to (aka a story that goes against) the ideas outlined by the “Texas Legend.” (150-200 words)
