John Smith

I would like to start out my first blog stating that I am not a fan of reading or writing, I last remember being fond of reading in elementary school, reading Gary Paulsen, since then I have not read a book that I have not been required to read for a class other than the bible.

       After reading through and listening to the lecture on John Smith, my elementary John Smith and Pochohontus views have been drastically changed. Through reading and listening to the lectures I have learned a great deal of history behind this explorers visit to the new world. John Smith had to approach the voyage to a new world in the New World from an entrepreneurial stand point. Smith had to basically sell the idea of moving away from everything common and moving to a "New World" in search for a new life. This must have been quite a tough sell for John Smiths enterprise.
