I agree with Christine in how in depth Smith goes into with the landscape of the Indians. With that said, the film does not accurately portray what the Eastern woodlands really looked like. I did not recall any swamplands that contributed to the disease that plagued the colonists. The relationship between Smith and the Indians seemed rather cordial in my opinion, which of course we learn changes as more accounts of Smith and his journey are re-written over time. Additionally, I'm not used to reading Olde English text, so this was a fairly difficult read for me. - David F. | I agree with Christine in how in depth Smith goes into with the landscape of the Indians.

| + | After today's lecture, and watching the movie tonight, I have to say that Disney did get some things correct. For instance, in the beginning of the movie, they showed the women gathering the crops, and the men were fishing, gender divisions of labor that we talked about in class. Also, towards the end of the movie, John Smith was about to have his head bashed in with a club, we discussed this event in class today as well. This is not to say that Disney got everything right, but they did get a few things about Pocahontas correct. ~Katherine Stinson~ | ||
