Pocohontas

Pocohontas In both the book "Captain John Smith" and the movie 'Pocohontas', the white settlers had preconceived notions that all Indians were inherently evil and that they were savages. In the movie Pocohontas constant references to the "savages" such as Governor Ratcliffes helper, "What if we run into savages sir'" John Smith also says, "If they are anything like the savages I have fought before is isn't anything I can't handle." In "General Historie of Virginia and the Summer Isles Capt. Smith, on page 57, was led by and held fast by three great savages on each arm and six with arrows nocked. The book and movie also address that the Indians were evil and caucasians were on the side of good. In the movie John Smith is ready to shoot Pocohontas before even finding out if she meant harm to him or his people. In "General Historie" it talks on page fifty-nine about the hellish things they did during the ritual dances.
