Christopher Columbus

A detailed Summary of Christopher Columbus

The way history is taught to children today is very wrong in my opinion. They try to turn it around and make

it seem as though it all happened in a very easy kind way. Even though it might have been brutal and wrong. The

children's book that I chose was Christopher Columbus by Clara Ingraham Judson. The rating that I gave the book

was a 6. The rendetion of the telling of the exploration of the Americas by Columbus I rated it a 6 because all the

facts were correct but they were de-emphasized and it made Columbus to be a hero all though it did show how he

was very persistent and never gave up on what he believed in.

The rendetion of the telling of the exploration of the Americas by Columbus I rated it a 6 because all of the

facts were correct but they were de-emphasized. In this particular book the biggest issue that was de-emphasized

was when they arrived in America. They said how Columbus saw brown skin people but nothing else. The book did

not mention the Natives' feelings, how they reacted to the newcomers, or how they first approached eac

also be told he whole truth. At a young age I think it is easier for them to except it but they might not understand it
