Answer:
Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative describes her experience as a captive of the Native Americans during the King Philips War in 1676. Her diary accounts from her capture to her return, although it was written a few years post her release. Her capture spanned around 11 weeks and is recounted in twenty ‘removes.’ Specifically, Rowlandson observes her experience concerning God and the bible, her capture being expressed as a trial from God which she must endure with faith; only in doing so would she survive and remain a true Christian woman suitable for Puritan society. Through this Christian perspective, she judges the Native Americans, creating an obvious bias against their culture. Given this, her narrative can be understood regarding how she would wish to represent herself and her captivity to those readers. Still, it was not fully understood as a completely accurate account.
Rowlandson was a respected woman within Puritan society and, as such, would be expected to represent all that was customary of fine Christian women. Therefore, any account of her capture, which seemed contrary to conventional beliefs, could risk her status and respectability. Toulouse argues that Rowlandson would be competing for status in the new social setting due to the war(1992:667). The motivation for publishing her account seems to promote the puritan belief that God is the active agent who punishes and saves Christian believers (Scarbrough 2011:124). Hence, her freedom to voice her own opinion was greatly restricted by both social expectations and for the sake of endorsing the good of Christianity.

Throughout, the rest of the essay each paragraph will hold a direct connection to the thesis, in order to support the claim.
