No, I'm not surprised, everyone has a language. Yes, Samuel should tell Captain Smith that Master Wingfield has extra food because it would be the right thing to do. (rather than starve.)

2. Do you think Samuel should tell John Smith that Master Wingfield has extra food? Why or Why not?
A:Yes. Because he swore to Henry out of fear.

For number one, I am not surprised, because it is just a language, which everyone has.And I've seen the words Samuel is learning. Samuel should tell Captain Smith because it would help stop people from starving for a long time.

2.Samuel should tell, he should follow his heart.

The words that Samuel is learning, does surprise me. The words he used are words we know.
Yes, I do think Samuel should tell somebody that they are hiding food because if somebody finds out on their own, Samuel will be in trouble for hiding it.

 No, I'm not surprised because I've heard these words before.
Yes, I think that he should tell because everyone there deserves the food more than he does. Plus Winfield is already in jail.

The words do surprise me because we know a few of the words and know use a couple of the words when we speak.

I think he should tell because they are eating the food the that is not far to the rest of the people,and sick need more.

Yes,because I heard the word moccasin before in Social and Science books.I think Samuel should tell John Smith that Master Wingfield has extra food because some people are sick and they need the food and it is the best to be honest and Reverend Hunt told him to do what his heart says.

The words don't surprise me, but i think it is interesting that we recognize some of them. I think that Samuel should tell Captain Smith because all of the sick people that need it can't have it.

No, I'mnot very impressed by what Samual has learned, because captain Smith could do whatever he wanted do. And you can say words but you might not be able to memorize the words.
