  • Letter Christopher Columbus
    1,462 words
    The letter Christopher Columbus wrote back to Spain to report his findings in the New World sparked intrigued me and sparked my imagination. Why I have been so absorbed in this letter I can not explain. This letter is supposed to be about describing an unknown land, a land that has not been seen by anyone besides the natives, but it seems that there is more to it than that. Columbus is known in elementary schools as the man who found the New World, and is regarded as a hero. To the contrary, his...

  • Greed Of Columbus
    615 words
    Does the progress of humanity ignited by Columbus justify the cost of the lives of the Native Americans No... human progress is not justified by the cost of Native American lives. The Native Americans died due to the greed of Columbus. By killing the Native Americans, Columbus did not aid the progress of humans. This can be seen by the way Columbus took credit for discovering land first, then ordering his men to kill the Arawaks of the Bahamas (like the Native Americans of America) when they ref...

    592 words
    Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 at Genoa, Italy. He was the oldest of the five children in the family. His father was a wool merchant and a weaver. Christopher's education ended at the age of 14, which then turned into an explorer. He tried for eight years to change the minds of kings and queens to give him money for food and ships so he could find a new route to Chine. Columbus persuaded King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain to give him money. In return he promised to give them new l...
  • Columbus Findings
    730 words
    When Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492, this started a series of great comparisons and contrasts between this explorer and others. Columbus saw himself as a divinely religious person sent by God not to discover a new world, but to "be the messenger of a new heaven and a new earth" and that God would show him where to find it. His numerous religious observances and constant reminders to others that he was a "Christ-bearer" could make one conclude that this mystic is more of a med...
  • Praises For The Discovery Of America
    274 words
    In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Once Columbus got to his destination he killed, raped, and enslaved natives. I think Columbus is a villain because he was a cruel, self centered man who does not deserve the praises for the discovery of America. First, he raped, killed, and enslaved the natives of the places he sailed to. Columbus over saw the killing of some Indians and ordered the enslavement of others. Columbus him self raped an Indian after " Beating her with a piece of rope". Also, he...

    683 words

Now that I'm done with the cute version of the lies that most children must be taught in order to become an active person in society, I'll tell you the truth about what that man that we hold so dear was really doing on those Islands of the New World! This essay will touch upon the wonderfully pervers...
  • Need For Columbus And Queen Isabella
    1,448 words
    1492 Conquest Of Paradise Movie Review History 1492 Conquest Of Paradise Movie Review History Analysis The epic voyage of Columbus has been a conscientious topic in recent times. People debate whether Columbus was responsible for the devastating effect that came after his discovery of the new world. In my opinion, Columbus shouldn't be held accountable for the impact of western civilization to the new world. Director Ridley Scott recreates Columbus' voyage to the unknown in his movie 1492: Conqu...
