Narrative Of The Captivity And Restauration Of Mary Rowlandson In the Narrative of the Captivity and Restauration of Mary Rowlandson, we see the trials and tribulations that Rowlandson encounters as the Indians take her and her family captive during an invasion of her home. During her captivity, Mary Rowlandson turns to the Lord and scripture, as her guidance and strength for her will to live. As Mary is faced daily with a new set of challenges, we see her regularly ask the lord for guidance on how to continue her life as she is abused by the Indians. The lord consistently tests her faith as she is faced with many dilemmas during her travels with the Indians. Her first test is the loss of her son after seeing him suffer for nine long days from wounds received from the Indians during the original battle in their home. She nurses him and takes care of him, but still seeks comfort in the lord and his scripture as she slowly watches her son slip away and succumb to death. She begs the lord to reunite her with her husband, who had been captured and taken to another wigwam location, but over and over again the lord, indians, mary, life, during, rowlandson, faith, turns, suffering, scripture, guidance, day, again, wounds, way, son, slowly, saw, regularly, own, over, out, one, nourishment, new, never, needed, loss, look, instead, home, graciousness, god, food, felt
