Slaying of Charles Bent

In a previous class we talked about the violence in this novel and how we as the readers had almost become immune (for the most part) to it. The murdering of Charles Bent seemed different to me. The detail that went in to it just made me somewhat cringe as I read. The struggle that he went through, however, with pulling arrows out from his face and chest and still managing to make it to the escape hole, showed his character that had been portrayed throughout the novel.

Some of the distinct details on page 303:

-"The Pueblos began mutilating Charles's body"
-"Ululating other crouched over him and, as the Pueblos could, deftly scalped him with a bowstring."
-"Fastening Charles's scalp to a board with brass tacks..."
-"...Charles's body beside them in a pool of drying blood."

  1. 5 years ago I had warts, I was treated with some liquid applied to the warts they continued to grow and spread... The next 2 doctors did laser surgery to remove them. 1 year after the surgery, they grew back close to where the 1st ones were' so I was finally told it was hpv. I have had it for very long time, I contract it from my cheated boyfriend and I found out he was also infected and I end up the relationship between us. the warts was so embarrasses because it started spreading all over I have be dealing with this things for very long time the last treatment I take was About 2 years ago I applied natural treatment from Dr onokun herbal cure, a week after applying the treatment all the warts was gone. it's now 2 years and some months I don't have single wart or any symptoms of hpv. wow"" it's great, Dr onokun has finally cured me.
