Book Reviews of Pocahontas
Book Review: 5th Graders Review
Summary: 4 Stars
I REALLY LIKED THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT GOES BACK IN TIME WHEN THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. I FOR ONE LIKED THE PART WHERE POCAHONTAS HAS TO HELP HER BROTHER PRACTICE FOR HUNTING BY THROWING FRISBEES UP IN THE AIR AND HIM TRYING TO SHOOT THEM WITH HIS ARROWS. I ALSO LIKED THE PART WHERE THE CHIEF (POCAHONTAS' DAD) AND SOME OF HIS MEN GO TO TRY TO MAKE PEACE WITH THE COATMEN. MY FAVORITE PART WAS WHEN POCAHONTAS GOES WITH HER DAD TO SEE THE COATMEN AND TRY TO TALK WITH THEM. I ALSO LIKED THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT IS LIKE HISTORY IN A FUN KIND OF WAY. IT TALKS ABOUT WHEN INDIANS AND WHITE MEN ARE TRYING TO MAKE PEACE AND HOW JOHN SMITH AND HIS COATMEN FOUND LAND. I REALLY THINK THAT ALMOST EVERY ONE WILL LIKE THIS BOOK BECAUSE YOU ARE LEARNING HISTORY IN A FUN WAY. AND I RECOMENDED THIS BOOK FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE IT GOES BACK IN TIME AND HOW THINGS RELLY WORKED A LONG TIME AGO AND BECAUSE OF HOW FUN THIS BOOK IS TO READ. I AM IN THE 5TH GRADE AND I LIKE THIS BOOK A LOT!
Summary of Pocahontas
In 1607, when John Smith and his "Coatmen" arrive in Powhatan to begin settling the colony of Virginia, their relations with the village's inhabitants are anything but warm. Pocahontas, the beloved daughter of the Powhatan chief, is just eleven, but this astute young girl plays a fateful, peaceful role in the destinies of two peoples.
