I am wondering if William is falling in love Telana, even though she is a savage girl? An example of why I wonder this is when William said, "He [Hugh] nodded toward the center of the ceremonial circle, where Telana stood with two other girls. 'That one's well favored,' he murmured. 'I wouldn't mind...' 'She's Manteo's cousin,' I said quickly, reluctant, somehow, to tell him more." This shows that William did not want to get his friend interested in Telana, because perhaps he wanted Telana for himself. This means hat possibly, he is going to fall in love with Telana in the end, therefore creating conflict.

Floundering (v): To struggle clumsily.
This word was used in the story to describe William's struggle with what to say or what to do in the colonies with so many new people and so many old faces. This word is important to the story because it summarizes the colony of Roanoke and what it is facing right now and it shows how the savages, or Native Americans, were struggling to have good relationships with the colony of Roanoke and how the English colonies were always struggling.
