The Super John Smith Questions 1-4 and 8

  1. Ratcliff was the new leader because Gosnald died.
  2. He tried changing the course of the voyage without John Smith's concent 
  3.  John Smith was looking for the head of the river and he encounter "200" savages who captured him.
  4. He was fed food, then was about to be executed when Pocahontas saved him. After, he did chores around he village, they became friends. Then John Smith gave the natives guns. 
8. I don't think John Smith is a credible narrator because he leaves out gaps in his stories and he makes obvious over exaggerations as well. If John Smith were to write a story about the daily life in Jamestown that would be one he would be a reliable narrator for because he couldn't manipulate the story that much. He would also be a good narrator for Native Culture because that is more of an observation rather than telling a story.  As for his actions and conflicts in Jamestown I feel that he would influence the story to sound like he was a local hero and everything he did was an amazing deed.
