Homework for the 2nd Class

A- When Columbus first reached the Bahamas, Arawak Indians were so welcoming and unaware of the potential dangers these visitors brought. Columbus thought of them as ignorant and naive. The Indians cut themselves with the knives and were seduced as slaves so easily. 

B- I think Americas should celebrate Columbus Day. Columbus' inhumane act of killing and enslaving Indians ought to be condemned, but his discovery of the new continent was like a rebirth to this ancient and sleeping land. Since the very old days, the world have been a place where only the fittest survive.  The ancient Egyptian people were killed by Romans and Greeks. Their civilization were lost. But today, we still treat the Romans and Greeks with a positive attitude.  In my personal opinion, Columbus is overall praise-worthy for his bravery and contribution to the world.

C- I think probably the biggest benefit the European settlers get from the Native Americans is labor. Traveled across the Atlantic by sea, the Europeans were exhausted. The naive and armless Indians were easy to comply to the Europeans. Like mentioned in the article:"They would make fine servants... With 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want." Indians could help Europeans to dig gold, to produce food and to do many other things.

A: When Columbus first arrive america Indians were very happy and welcome but Columbus think they are naive and because that he control those people . Final because they are too easy to believe their enemy.They become to  slave

B:NO because he is kill thousand of people even he is find america. When the Arawaks could not produce enough gold, he cut off the hands of all those 14 years and older, and enslaved them on estates where they were worked to death. The most horrific reports came from a young priest, Bartolomé de Las Casas, who wrote, “The Spaniards think nothing of knifing Indians by tens and twenties and of cutting slices off them to test the sharpness of their blades.” He wrote of two Christians who met up with two Arawak boys and beheaded them for fun.
