BR 2-14: Columbus and the New World

"He could see land!"  (p.11)

Do you know what Columbus did? You learned about him at the world history class when you were junior high or high school student. He found America in 1492. This book tells us about him. I was surprised when I read this book because this book says that Columbus was a disappointed man. I think that he is a great man because he found the new world. The people thought the earth was flat at the time. However, Columbus proved that the earth was round to find the new world. According to this book, his achieve was not America. It was to find the new route to spices from Asia to Europe. He couldn’t find it until he died. So, this book says that he was a disappointed man.

I think that this book is good for us to learn his history. I learned his name at the world history class. However, it was boring. If you read this book, you can learn what his achieve was, or why he could go voyage. I think that this book is very interesting. If you interested in world history, I recommend this book.
