Columbus Day

Columbus Day is a holiday that some countries celebrate Christopher Columbus’ discovery of America. Christopher Columbus said that the world was round so he wanted to go out and sail. Queen Isabella provided him with three ships , the Nina , Pinta and the Santa Maria. On August 3rd , 1492 , he set sail. When he arrived at America , he found “ browned skins “ who have lived there . He thought he was in India but it was a mistake. He was actually near some part of America.

Reflection: I believe that this is actually very interesting but I still don’t get why would people celebrate it. Christopher probably wasn’t even the first person to reach America.
