hopelessly in love with John Smith and ends up marrying him. These are American (Disney) personifications‚ not Native personifications. Instead of making Pochahontas look authentically Native‚ they just made her exotically sexy. Many historical events were avoided to maintain Disney cinema’s “innocence” and mostly juvenile audience.

Paper Princess Erin Watt‚“ Besides his sperm my father’s watch was the only thing he left behind” (chapter 1). This line was an absolute favorite of mine. It could be interpreted in so many different ways. Her tone could be bitter‚ feeling as if the man she she was supposed to call father only cared enough to just leave her a lousy watch.
