Question

The account of Pocahontas's rescue of John Smith is believed to have been _____.
fictional
historical
allegorical

Answer 1

I believe it's allegorical

Answer 2

Captain John Smith, who led the earliest English exploration of the Virginia area, kept a careful account of his exploits, but he embellished them quite a bit. His account, A True Relation, 1608, was the first book to be written in America. Many modern historians think that his rescue by Pocahantas was actually an imaginative event and not an actual one. Captain Smith's account, however, comes alive for the reader, holding his interest. This account reveals an air of confidence and faith even when things looked the darkest for Captain Smith and his men: heres the paragraph

Answer 3

I want to say it could be Allegorical but then again it could also be Historical. Where did you find your information?

Answer 4

I was thinking the same thing, but it couldn't possibly be fictional cause it's not a fantasy and this is an actual being

Answer 5

Yeah I would say it is Historical because all of the information I just looked up says that Pocahontas saved him.

Answer 10

It does @usmcbennett96 but the key word "many" refers to the fact that not all do. It is still historical because overall, the paragraph is about the writings of John Smith, not about Pocahontas saving him or not.
