Pocahontas
There are a lot of legends about John Smith and Pocahontas. On of the most common one shows them having a relationship. This wouldn't be likely because she was only around ten years old according to the video Pocahontas. There is a chance that she may have saved his life because she was one of her father's most trusted advisers according to the video about her. She also helped the settlers survive by bringing them food. Not a lot but just enough to help them survive. She was also her father's favorite daughter.

Disney has done a good job of making us believe that Smith and Pocahontas had a relationship. Its weird to think about because shes around ten or twelve! Disney also portrays her as much older than that. And she was one of his favorite daughters and dispite her age, was one of his advisors also. He did have many daughters though!
ReplyDeleteVery true...
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point about Disney. I never really put much thought about the age they made her. But she is definitely much older than she really was.
