How would you describe Wheatley's attitude towards Occom?

Phillis Wheatley's attitude towards Reverend Samson Occom can be described as respectful yet critical. In her letter to him, Wheatley acknowledges Occom's position as a fellow Christian and a minister, recognizing his accomplishments, particularly as a Native American who has gained prominence in a colonial society dominated by European settlers. However, she also implies criticism of Occom's support for the fundraising efforts for a college (Dartmouth College) that was meant to educate Native Americans, but which had begun to drift from its initial mission.

Wheatley's tone suggests that she expects more from Occom, given his unique position and influence. She appears to be urging him to advocate more forcefully for the rights and education of Native Americans and to ensure that the funds raised for their benefit are used appropriately. Thus, her attitude is complex, combining respect for Occom and his achievements with an implicit challenge to take greater responsibility in his role as a leader within the Native American community.
