The Journal of the First Voyage to America was about Christopher Columbus's first arrival to the new world, which is commonly known as America today. It wasn't that bad to read. I usually don't like reading anything historical that takes place before the 1900's. Some parts were boring, but some parts were interesting. The boring parts were when he described what the island looked like. It gets monotonous because he just keeps going on and on about it. The good parts were when he talked about the natives and his plans for when he left America. I thought when he talked about the natives was good because it was interesting to see how they reacted when Colombus and his party arrived there. It was also sort of a letdown, because I was almost expecting the natives to get mad and there would be a fight, which would be even more interesting. When he talked about his plans for leaving America I thought it was an interesting part because it was cool to see what he planned to do after leaving. Reading this made me think about how it would be to live in those times. If I had to travel anywhere by boat I'd probably hate it, because it takes too long.
