EXAMPLE COLUMBUS ESSAYS
ESSAY #1
In my opinion, Christopher Columbus was a hero. He opened up the ‘New World’ for trade with Europe. He didn’t actually discover the New World because there were people who were already here, but he was brave enough to sail into uncharted and unknown waters to fulfill his dream. This took lots of courage because no one had done it before. He also helped prove that the world was round, and not flat. Even though many people believed this to be true, Columbus was actually willing to risk his own life to prove it. I think this makes him a true hero to lead his men into the unknown. Because Columbus explored by sailing to the Americas, I think he can be called a hero.
In my opinion, Christopher Columbus was a villain. He exploited the native peoples that he found on the islands where he landed. He took many of the ‘Indians’ back to Europe with him and sold them as slaves. His men made the people work to find gold for them. He had wrong intentions in beginning his voyage in the first place. He really left to find gold and riches which would make him wealthy and famous. He didn’t even know where he was. He thought he was in India. He is a villain because of the hardships he caused the native people and should not be glorified for his actions.
