This is a love story of the Native American girl and the Britain explorer.
I was very impressed by deep love to Mr,Smith of Pocahontas.
This end is not a happy ending at all but I feel happy now.

I knew Pocahontas's story of Disney. I love the story.
But this book's story is much sadder than I knew.
I was shocked at many people's coldness.
Especially, Powhatan, Pocahontas's father is very cruel!!!
I was impressed by Pocahontas's strength.

I have ever heard about this story. But it is a little. I don't know the last.
This story's last is not happy for me. Because her feelings are not transmitted.
Why she decided to marry with another man?
I think John is sorry.

Pocahontas is a so brave and intelligent woman, I think.
She does't never fear new people and things from England.
It was so pity that Pocahontas didn't marry John Smith who she loved very much.

Pocahontas is abeautiful Indian girl.
One day Englishman come their land over sea.
She fall in love a Englishman.
Fate is cruel.
If they met different situation, they can carry out thier love.
If John has little more brave, they can live together.
