Hey Ms. D,
The other day I was at my cousin’s house and she wanted to watch the movie Pocahontas. (A fabulous movie by the way. Disney at it’s greatest) So anyway, the movie starts off with it’s opening number “Virginia Company.” Now I have watched this movie numerous times in the past thirteen years, but I had never listened to the song lyrics before because usually the information at the beginning of the movie is pretty important. This time, however, I caught a line of stanza that I had never picked up on before. Later when I looked it up I realized I had heard it right. That line of lyrics would be “For Glory God and Gold and the Virginia Company.” It just seemed funny because Glory God and Gold is almost exactly like God Glory and Gold (Except that Gold and Glory are switched.). Did you take that from the movie or was that just a funny coincidence?? Anyway, there are lot of other songs from Pochohantas that relate to our God Glory and Gold packet. ( MIne and Savages are excellent examples) I had just never noticed that line of lyrics before.
P.S. here is the link to the lyrics for the Virginia Company http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/pocahontas/thevirginiacompany.htm
Hey Ms. D,
The human sacrificial rituals the Aztecs performed remind me very much of a scene from an Indiana Jones movie when a tribesman removed a heart from a live human. here is a link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk2E1CoGe98. Have a nice night!
