Mrs. Holloway's Blood on the River Blog

Samuel dresses like the Indians so that he can be comfortable and safe. His skin looks the Indians because they rub themselves with this rub that keeps the bugs away and protects him from the sun. He shaved the side of his head so that his hair wouldn't get stuck in his bow and arrow. Lastly, he wears mantles because his English clothes are too hot. Those are the reasons he starts to look like an Indian.
