Romantic Love

It begins in the year of 1615, when English explorer Christopher Columbus is on a quest to find America. He reaches the west coast and finds the islands of North America that were later settled by American colonists.

But the journey does not end there. In fact, it takes him back to Europe with another voyage. They land in Marseilles and after six months of exploring he discovers a new America.

In his journal, he writes "I have seen the most wonderful country of North America, the land of large lakes, the shores of numerous rivers, and the wild Indian barbarians who inhabit the same country. I have no other nation comparable with this great continent, or of that extent, and for the first time in my life I am glad of having known it."

He never came back to Spain and he never took a map of New America, but instead made contact with Native Americans through word of mouth. This was before the invention of modern mapping and navigation equipment. Christopher Columbus had a lot of adventures, but he was just as amazing as most people who came before him.

Christopher Columbus saw America from a whole different perspective. To many people, he was an ambitious dreamer whose adventures did not turn out quite how he hoped but at least his beliefs about where he could go eventually made him to be extremely successful. However, many people did not see him as a hero but instead, like many people who went around the world, they regarded him as a romantic hero.

They compared him to John Steinbeck's narrator Victor Tanners, James Bond's spy. People assumed because of these similarities that he had some mystical power as if he were superior to them. If someone knew that he could look up to others so much more than anyone else and that they could talk to them about anything, then they would see nothing wrong with it. Many people, too, believed that it seemed ridiculous that he had only one goal, but he seemed so determined and strong-willed that they looked past all those flaws in his character and thought that he was their savior.

However, others said that he was arrogant and that he was very selfish. Some people even criticized him because he was too idealistic. But why? Because he was such an ambitious man that he gave himself a long list of goals and believed that people could only go so far in the pursuit of what he wanted and what he was striving to accomplish. The truth is that nobody ever went to England without him knowing everything that there was to know about the Americas. When he was young, he was wandering around looking for gold, looking for riches, and looking for love. All his life he made a decision that whatever he found, it would be worth more than what he had taken. In his journals, he wrote "I began to understand that it is difficult, if not impossible, to do everything. That there are limits to our powers."

It is hard for us today to fully understand what Christopher Columbus saw through his own eyes. We did not get to visit South America and learn firsthand about its culture and society. The things that we now know about America because of Christopher Columbus' explorations in the fifteenth century do not come close to the experience that Christopher Columbus had through his own adventures. However, when the two explorers met up in France for the second part of his voyage there are several key moments where he described his experiences, the main reason being to show others that their views may be different than mine.

This conversation that the pair shared showed the audience that the explorers were thinking about the future. Not only did they talk about trading between themselves when talking about the Spanish colony of Hispaniola, they also talked about what might happen to it. As they talked, one of the explorers took off his hat. Christopher Columbus never put down his hat. His entire personality changed immediately and he started getting very emotional and passionate about his mission to explore the unknown world.

He even told the group he was going to die and that he might not live for six years. Then, after he put his hat away, he pointed to Spain and told them he wanted them to open their trading port to England as soon as possible.

When he pointed to the sun, he pointed out to everybody that they couldn't see it. This attitude and passion about exploration led many people to consider him a hero. He went through many hardships that almost every person of the era had to endure at some point in their lives. However, the story of Christopher Columbus has inspired millions of people for hundreds of years. It is an example of human ingenuity and determination.
