So Christopher went to King Ferdinand and Queen Elizabeth of Spain and they said yes. They financed his whole trip with 90 sailors and 3 ships. Of course, that was nothing for King…

The impact of Christopher Columbus is a widely debated aspect of world history regarding whether he was a hero or merely a lucky villain. It can be argued that he was nothing but cruel to the native people and inflicted violence upon his arrival.

All this reflects her coarsening and loss of sensibility, also shown by her giving up hair and hand care and by wearing cheap dresses. The work she performs, however, makes her heroic (9). As she…
