On his way to Asia I was surprised on how much he lied to the crew on his journey. First red flag was when he started lying to his crew about how far they've gone so they seem more motivated.

A lot of times, my friends mislead us to an impossible reward, but never with this much impact!

This could've been avoided because of if he actually believed that earth's size has already been figured out.

I really wonder if anyone else on the boat thought that Columbus was right.

I was surprised when reading this article, because of how Columbus reacted to the girl. This is a minor nitpick, but why did he react so blankly. I mean he didn't instantly speak to her and left her hanging for an answer when she said hello. He also didn't put himself in the natives shoes when he questioned why they were naked

I wonder if his crew knew about the people before him but was overshadowed by him being such a conman.

It is very easy to feel how Morning Girl feels, because meeting seeing something new and interesting for the first time you feel very curious.

I wonder how the other islanders were to think about Morning Girl.

I was kind of surprised to see this perspective because the others are so different to each other because this connects both. This impacted people by showing that some opinions could be closely related.

I wonder if people could use this to understand that people could have opinions that could be closely made but different people.

I'm very angry because this article and about how he was convincing himself of stuff that were complete lies.

I think that Columbus should have at least estimated how many miles he gone horizontally, and would think "I've found new land!" and everyone would be happy.

I wonder if anyone at least estimated how far they have gone and say "I don't think we've gone that far yet to be in Asia."

On the journey back, out of random, the wind just suddenly stopped. 9 days, a WHOLE nine days of no wind later, it came back as powerful as ever. This was caused by a storm that was behind them.
