the story of John Smith and Pocahontas
In the spring of 1607, three ships landed on the shore of what is now America. About 100 men – no women were asked to come – stepped onto the sand to start a new life.
The men built 20 cabins and a fort to go around them all. They called their new town Jamestown. But they were not the only ones living on that land.
Up and down the coast and for miles into the woods lived tribes of Native Americans. Today, the area is called Virginia. Back then, it was called the Powhatan Confederacy. Over 30 tribes in the Powhatan Confederacy were ruled by one chief. His name was Powhatan.
Chief Powhatan’s scouts told him that new men had landed on the shore. They told him the men had built a fort. They also told him the new men spoke in words no one had heard before. They wore clothes no one had seen before. Powhatan knew all that. What he did not know – and what he wanted to know most of all - was, where did they come from? Why were they here? And what would it be like to be their Chief?
But they were not the only ones living on that land.
His scouts told him some other news, too, that was most odd. No crops had been planted around the fort.
No canoes were anywhere near the fort, and the men did not even stand by the river to fish. The men did not go into the woods to hunt, either. Said Powhatan, “These men do not know how to plant, ride a canoe, fish or hunt. It will be easier than I thought to be their Chief.
We will bring food to them – corn, beans and squash. Without us, they will starve. And I, Powhatan, who rules 30 tribes, will rule over them, too!” “Father let me come with you!” said Powhatan’s daughter Pocahontas. No one had seen her slip into the longhouse. “I want to see the fort, too.” “Surely not!” said her father. “You have work to do here. When you are done, you may play with your sisters.”
“I play with them every day!” said Pocahontas. “Father, please! I’ll be good!” Powhatan smiled. “Ah, my princess,” he said. “How can I say no to that face?” At last, an adventure for Pocahontas! She felt sure that if she had to sew beads onto one more moccasin, or fill one more basket with berries, she would burst! So Chief Powhatan, with scouts carrying baskets of corn, beans and squash, and with Pocahontas beside them, all went over to the fort.
When they got there, they set down the baskets. And stepped back. In a minute, men burst out of the fort with big smiles on their faces. You can be sure there was much joy! Pocahontas saw something else that made her smile, too. Four boys a bit older than she came out with the other men. She waved to the boys. They waved back! When the grown-ups were trying to talk to each other with their arms and hands, she said to them, “Want to play?”
Men burst out of the fort with big smiles on their faces.
They did not understand her words. But soon they were showing her how to play tag and stickball. And she was showing them how to do cartwheels. After a while, Powhatan called, “Pocahontas! It’s time to go.” Every four or five days after that, Pocahontas came back with the others to the fort. Each time, Powhatan’s scouts carried corn, squash, and beans. Sometimes for a special treat, maple sugar, too. Pocahontas learned the names of her new friends – James, Nathaniel, Richard and Samuel. And they learned hers. She also learned the name of their leader, John Smith.
As the days got shorter, the rain stopped coming. The corn in the fields dried up. The squash and the beans on the vine dried up. Berries on the bushes dried up. “We cannot take food to the fort anymore,” said Powhatan. “We need to save all we have so our people will make it through the winter. We must go to the fort and tell them.”
“We cannot take food to the fort anymore,” said Powhatan.
When the men in the fort heard the news, they got angry. They marched into their cabins. They came out with guns, and shot the guns into the sky. Powhatan got angry, too. He said, “I warn you, white men! Do not go anywhere near our village! If you do, you will be sorry!” The men of Jamestown could not understand what Powhatan was saying. But they could tell from his face that they were not friends anymore.
Soon after that, John Smith was going through the woods looking for food. He was close to the village of Powhatan. Too close. Powhatan’s brother and some of the tribe saw him pass. In a flash, they jumped out at him. They held John Smith down and took him back to Powhatan’s village. “Now it will be done, once and for all,” said Powhatan. “I will be Chief to all the people in the fort.”
That winter, John Smith could not leave the village. Still, Powhatan made him feel at home. Pocahontas, who knew him from before, spent time with him. Day after day, they would teach each other the words that each other’s people spoke.

rom The Squatter and the Don
by María Ruiz de Burton
The Squatter and the Don involves two families in San Diego in the 1870s. The Alamar family, headed by Don Mariano, has lived on a large ranch for decades. But since the Mexican-American War ended, settlers from the eastern United States have been occupying the Alamar’s land. In this excerpt, Clarence Darrell, the son of one such settler, runs into Señor Alamar’s son Don Victoriano.
“Good morning,” said Clarence, “I am glad to catch up with you, Don Victoriano. I have been wanting to speak to you.”
Victoriano bowed, saying, “Will you go to my house?”
“No, I'd rather not. I am not dressed to be seen by ladies. I would rather speak to you here.”
“You are going to build a large house, Mr. Darrell? ” said Victoriano, turning his horse so as to ride beside Clarence; “judging by the amount of lumber being hauled.”
“Yes; rather. We are a large family, and require a good deal of room. But before we do any more work I want to speak with your father. I want to ask him—ask him as a favor—and yet, as a business proposition”—he hesitated; he was evidently embarrassed; but Victoriano, not guessing the drift of his words, remained waiting silently, offering no assistance. “Well,” he continued, “I mean this: I don't like this fashion of taking people's lands, and I would like to pay to Señor Alamar for what has been located by us, but at the same time I do not wish my father to know that I have paid for the land, as I am sure he would take my action as a reproach—as a disclaimer of his own action, and I don't wish to hurt his feelings, or seem to be disrespectful.”
“I understand, and I think my father will be willing to sell the land. He is at home now. Let us go up to see him.”
“Had you not better speak to him, and make an appointment for me to see him to-morrow, or some other time? I'd rather not risk being seen by the ladies in this blue flannel shirt and heavy boots. I look too rough—like a smuggler or a squatter, sure.”
“I can call my father to speak to you outside, so that the ladies need not see you. But if they should, that needn't disturb you. They have too much sense not to know that you would not be working in white kid gloves. Come on. The front veranda is empty. Mother and three of my sisters are at the Mechlin's. Mercedes is the only one at home, and she is too busy with her embroidery in Madam Halier's room to come near you. I'll bring father to the front veranda.”
Clarence and Victoriano tied their horses by the garden gate and walked to the piazza. The hall door was ajar. Clarence saw no ladies about and felt reassured.
Select all the correct answers.
Based on this passage, what two plots are likely to develop in parallel?
A.Clarence will run into one of the Alamar daughters and fall in love.
B.Victoriano is likely to undermine Clarence’s efforts to purchase his father’s land.
C.Mercedes and Madame Halier will finish their embroidery.
D.Clarence will strive to purchase the Alamar’s land without angering his father.
E.Victoriano will invite Clarence to his home to speak with his father, Señor Alamar.
Answer:

Clarence will run into one of the Alamar daughters and fall in love.
Explanation: I got it correct on my test

What is The Squatter and the Don?The Squatter and the Don was written by María Amparo Ruiz de Burton and was published in 1885 which consists of that detailed racism in Anglo-Americans and American colonialism.
