Essay on Pocahontas (some film or narrative about Pocahontas) of around 1000 word or 3 pages double-spaced with normal spacing and font. Come up with a specific thesis that you can defend with evidence from the text or film. Do not write a “so-what” thesis. For example: “There are a lot of misperceptions about Indians” or “Pocahontas didn’t live in a Tipi.” You want to find a thesis that makes some interesting argument, analysis, or comparison. Then you support that thesis with detailed examples from the text or film that you can use to show that your thesis is reasonable, makes sense.

–Examples of topics one could construct a thesis around:
1.The significance of Pocahontas’s animal sidekick, talking tree grandmother, as symbols of Indianness. How are this symbol used in the story? What is the symbol suppose to teach the audience about how or what Indians are? How does that symbol serve to teach us what it is suppose to teach us.

2 The significance of color or lighting in the film. Pick some particular examples (changing colors of scenes around certain characters, the reference to color in songs…) How is color or light used in the particular example? How does color or light in this example function to teach us something about Indians? How does color or light in this example serve to teach us what it is suppose to teach us?

3. The significance of good and bad Indians in the Pocahontas film? How are those portrayals used in that story in particular examples or particular characters? What are their significance to the story or to our ideas about Indianess? How do these portrayals create this significance?
–Hints for supporting or developing answers in paper: Find specific examples from film or text that you can talk about in detail to support the claim made in your paper. Find different examples or different aspects of the same examples to build the support for your thesis in separate paragraphs.
