BR-24 Christopher Columbus

P.29 '' Is he a God?

 Christopher Columbus longed to go to sea.
He thought about it all day and dreamed of it all night. I learned about him when I was a junior high
school student. I return book review.
 He live near the busy port of Genoa, in Italy, and
he loved watching ships arrive from far away places, packed with precious silks and spices.
When he was 26, everything changed. Columbus
was sailing on a ship near the coast of Portugal
when French warships fired at the crew.
His longing for adventure increased when a fellow
map-maker started talking about a great explorer
named Marco Polo. Columbus sailed back across
the Atlantic in September 1493 with  17ships loaded with supplies, horses and 1,200 very excited men. Later that year, he finally sailed back to Spain- a sick man.
On May 20th 1506, in the town of Vallodolid, in Spain. Columbus died at the age of
54. I have some impressions. Columbus died too early. I think he had taken a
 praiseworthy act. But people will die someday. However person is great, 
person is only person.    (178words)
