Visual(de Vaca)



This is a picture of how Cabeza de Vaca described in the story of the work they had to do. He stated that the work sometimes tore into their flesh. The load on his back looks like leaves, some wood, maybe some fish, shrubs tied onto sticks. His back is somewhat red on the sides to symbolize his bleeding. The man is bent over to show us that he is tired, just as de Vaca described. He also talked about hiw his motivation for this work was his Saviour Jesus Christ because he thought of how Jesus must have felt bearing his cross alone up the hill and the throns on his head tearing into His flesh.

Cabeza de Vaca's words that described the work they did was cut, tore into flesh,blood, suffering, painful sores, heavy loads. The Natives were hard-working people and these words describe that everyday they worked for their lives in pain and suffering and even in agony. They made everything with their hands and that also shows that they are people who provide for themselves and the members of their family.
