From reading the article, I think what Christopher Columbus did was very wrong for coming to America and just taking over the Taino culture and their home.
I believe that he should have worked together with the Taino men and woman and found a way to live together and work. Making the Taino men and women slaves was the worst decision Columbus treated them like they did not even exist he wanted to just find a way to eliminate everything about the Taino culture,which was something he has accomplished. Columbus seemed greedy because it seemed like he was talking to the Taino men and women to find out information on how they lived and other information about Taino people such as where there gold came from.
I believe we should celebrate Columbus day because he discovered america but we all should know and realize all the wrong he has done also.

hi,
Maria,I learn some writing skill
from your essay, keep post more ,
I very enjoy.
Maria,
This is a very clearly organized essay with an obvious introduction, body, and conclusion. Nice job with that!
My main response though is that the assignment was to write about how Jane Yolen feels about Columbus (not how YOU feel). It seems you have written a completely different assignment. Many people started off their introduction saying something like, "I do not think that Jane Yolen endorses Columbus Day for many reasons."
