John Smith

for someone you should be considered a courageous person. A few examples of courageous people could be John Smith, William Bradford, and the women and children of this time period. John Smith would be a great example of courage. He protected other in any way possible, he would protect people from the shots that were being fired and demanded they did not return back out until it was over. John was taken into hostage and became a prisoner, whole a prisoner he was tortured. He had been a…

In the film The New World you could clearly say that one could relate it to the writings of Captain John Smith since he is one of the main characters of the movie. Although I believe John Smith was portrayed less arrogantly in the movie than in his journals, we didn’t learn any new information about him in the film. Two major themes throughout the movie that connect with what we have been learning about in class are nature and the sense of community. The use of creating a sense of beauty was…

demanded that Powhatan become a vassal a James I and he refused starting five years of altercations, this seemed like a clear sign that they did not view the native as equals. Particularly when you consider that Powhatan had made a similar demand of John Smith, who did not accept. It appears that while the colonist’s did not think they should have to submit to natives, whose land a resources…

This past Thursday I visited the Smith Academy for Excellence and was surprised at how the school worked to help the boys learn best. We learned that most of the boys come from a poverty stricken neighborhood with many family problems. Along with this, a majority of the students were African American but there were also a few Caucasians and Latinos. The age/grade range of the boys is from second grade up until twelfth. They are extremely proud that this is the first year they will have a…

While interviewing my mother, I found that the alternative music of the 80’s, preferably “The Smiths” and “The Cure”, have had a large impact upon her childhood. With this being said, I hope to learn about the history, sounds,…

Will smith is a goofy, charismatic, high school stud athlete whom maintains his aura as if he is still back in his hometown. He comes from a single parent home in which is also similar to my situation. I feel as if some of the traits mentioned follow a certain…
