Columbus


This is of course the tombstone of Christopher Columbus. My argument was that Christopher Columbus was very successful when he started with the first voyage. He was successful until he reached the third voyage in which he and his brothers got captured as prisoners. He founded the island of "Espanola" in which he desrcibed using good diction. Then in his fourth voyage, he runs into spanish explorers.


When he runs into Spanish explorers, he and his brothers eventually gets captured and he writes a latter of pardon to the King to let him return to Rome. In this letter he uses Pathos to sympatize with the king. The king eventually pardons him, but as you can see in the picture, which is shown, that is his tomb. Christopher Columbus eventually dies in the year May 20, 1506 of heart attack.
