Mansa Musa's Journey

Decent Essays
The journey did not turn out the way I hoped it was going to be because the journey was the hottest journey I ever traveled in a long time, but it was a little rain so that made it a little cold but not that cold but it was cold enough that I was not hot but I was warm, something I liked was that I got water from the god because I was feeling like I was about to die at the time. I would say that it was worth the time because it was a work out for me because I lost a lot of weight when it was very hot. I don’t think it was worth it for money because I can travel some where that is not very hot and run around to lost weight and get water when I want to .The lasting significance of Mansa Musa’s journey was when I met Mansa Musa also when

    In medieval Africa, Mansa Musa had a economic impact on Africa because of trading and wealth. Some may argue that Mansa Musa had a social impact on Africa because he started to spread the religion. Although the personal account states, “I don’t wish to mix anything else with my pilgrimage.” This means he just wanted to spread the religion by staying focus. This does not prove that Mansa Musa had a social impact on Africa because he did tell other about the religion, but it was mainly about getting stronger and this does not show that they are growing stronger.…

    Ibn Tufayl’s depiction of Hayy in the philosophical tale presents a contrast between the curiosity and malevolence of human behavior. Similar to the story of Adam and Eve’s sin, Ibn Tufayl begins this human society with the story of a king’s sister that married someone without permission and subsequently had a baby, as explicated by, “Now this king had a sister whom he forbade to marry until he himself should find a fitting match […] But she had a kinsman named Aware, and he married her secretly […] She soon conceived and bore him a son” (Ibn Tufayl’s Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, Page 105). This shows the sin of lust, as the king’s sister married Aware secretly and had his child without permission.…

During this time he visited many places listing them all in his travel diary known today as The Itinerary on Benjamin of Tudela.

    In 1789, Olaudah Equiano published his autobiography entitled, The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African. The purpose of the book was to aid the abolitionists in their struggle to abolish slavery. From the beginning of the book, it is apparent that the intended audience of the book are Christians. A quote from the book of Isaiah, containing “Behold, God is my salvation ,” preluded Equiano’s narrative that detailed his life, beginning with his kidnapping as a young boy in Africa, the voyage across the Atlantic to the Caribbean Islands, and his adventures travelling the world as a slave aboard one of England’s warships. In fact, Equiano’s book established a large audience among Christians and some English royalty, which is clear by the attached list of subscribers to the narrative.…
