Why did the author use the word ‘savage’ to describe the Bedouins in the book ‘Life in the Holy Land’?
assistant
The author was describing the Bedouins as “savages” because he was describing them as uncivilized. The author was not calling the Bedouins “savages” because they were a different race of people. The author was trying to describe the Bedouins as uncivilized because they were nomadic. The author was not trying to say that all nomadic people are uncivilized, just the Bedouins.
