Tompkins
Truthfully, I don’t like history. Usually when I read about it, it can never keep my attention. However, I actually enjoyed reading this article. Tompkins dilemma was she was getting people assumptions of what happened in the past to the European-Indian relations. I believe it is really hard to tell a story about something when you yourself were not even there to witness it. When doing research Tompkins had to filter through many articles and decipher with ones were good or not. Also, every writer has biased opinions, every person has bias opinions, it just our human nature. Therefore, Tompkins also had the challenge of filtering through bias. Through my research so far I do not believe I have came to this problem like Tompkins did. Tompkins topic was more intense than mine. When and if I would come into a problem like Tompkins I would have to go at it in the similar way she did, filter and research and find out who I can and can’t trust.
