Read the two passages from Pushing the Bear.

Passage 1:

MARITOLE

The campfires spoke through the dark woods like stars. I heard Anna's voice. Kinchow's. Quaty Lewis. The widow Teehee. Others. Their voices made a low hum that would rise at times like wind. I think the trees were calling. The baby cried with me. Neither Knobowtee nor the other men could stop us. ''What are we going to cook with? Where is our bedding?" We wanted our cabins and belongings.

If I slept it was only until the horror stirred me. I woke crying with the others into the dark air.

The soldiers ordered us to be quiet with words we didn't always know. They walked among us and poked with bayonets. Some Cherokee men hit their women. It had been agreed in council: We would bear our fate if the removal came.

Passage 2:

KNOBOWTEE

Why was I standing in the field the day the soldiers came to the cabin? I knew the removal was coming. The runners had told us about the stockades.

Maritole had reacted first. Now she seemed quiet, her head bowed in the wagon. But I, who had been calm when the soldiers came, suddenly felt the jolt of removal.

Some of the men wanted to fight. We talked of it under our breath as we walked, but the wives said we would be killed.

How do the two points of view differ from each other?

Maritole says that, although the women are vocal, the men agree to accept the removal, while Knobowtee says that the men want to fight but the women caution them.
Maritole says that the women keep their silence, while Knobowtee says that the women are starting to rebel and talk of fighting back.
Maritole says that the men are upset about how the women are treated, while Knobowtee thinks that the women are upset about how the men are treated.
Maritole and Knobowtee each tell a different story, but their ideas about their removal are essentially the same.
