from La Relación

Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca recounts his expedition in a first-person narrative. However, he does not re-create any of the conversations he had with the members of his crew or with the Native Americans. Choose one section from La Relación and write a fictional dialogue based on it. For example, you might write a discussion between the men as they dig their boat out of the sand and try to launch it. Your dialogue should capture the emotions and concerns of the people who are speaking.
