Question

Author’s conclusions: What is the author arguing and are they successful? Empire of the summer moon.

Answer 1

The Summer Moon Empire reveals the intense and captivating tale of the war between Texan and Comanche men. Gwynne is not afraid of the painful reality of violence and cruelty in Comanche. Reality is complex, and this book depicts the complicated picture of that era. Because as far as their culture and lifestyle are gradually destroyed by Texan settlers, the Comanche Indians are depicted as a sympathizing group. However, their abuse, cruelty, and brutality make them more than mere victims. The author S.C.Gwynne argues that the settlers of the west paid a heavy price for the attempt to impose slavery on the Comanche Indians. The author demonstrates that Comanche's hostility to the West was an inevitable consequence of its own economic and social situation. Gwynne also points out that the history of the Comanche is not as black and white as the misconception would have made us believe. The story of the Comanche Indians contrasts the details of Comanche's atrocities with the peaceful occupation of the Southwest by white people. S.C.Gwynne's arguments seem to be successful in being able to understand an individual and his virtues or vices. As a secondary point, Gwynne supports a purely scientific view of the adaptive value of individuals to facilitate and accelerate evolution. It is demonstrated to be a highly effective manner of trying to describe the changing of humans in complex intelligence.
