Does Yolen endorse Columbus Day
I think Jane Hyatt Yolen doesn't endorse Columbus Day for many reasons.
To begin with a reason why Yolen doesn't endorse Columbus Day because Christopher Columbus did such bad things as carring Tainos to Spain as slaves. Yolen learned that Christopher Columbus set the spanish flag on the uninhabited island because he had to claim the beautiful little green island for his king and queen and country where the Tainos live. Yolen knows Christopher Columbus was a mean guy.
Secondally, Yolen learned that Christopher Columbus called the tribespeople "Indians" mistaking of India because he thought he was in India. Yolen knew that Christopher Columbus wrote in his journal that were "well made", with fine shapes and shapes.
Finally, the island were colonized by the spanish, native religions languages, and lifestyles were changed forever.
More than 50 years later, less than 500 Tainos remained. Now there are no Tainos alive.
Does Yolen tinks Christopher Columbus is evil to the Tainos?

Do you think the author endorses Columbus day? (homework)
I don't think the author Jane Yolen endorses Columbus day.
From the author's note, first , Yolen describe Columbus was self-esteem , because he
claimed the beautiful litttle green island for his king and queen and country; Scond, Columbus mistaked the land for India , he called the tribespeople "Indians". Furthermore, the Columbus's
sailors asked in sign where the native gold rings and armbands came from, he was very greedy
said it was the gold that interested them the most when the Taino exchange gift in friendship with sailors; In addiotin, Columbus very ridiculously to cart Tiano people to Spain as slaves and
finally cause no full-bollded Taino.
I enjoy the Columbus day every year, howere, I counfuse Christopher Columbus the way
he had done in the history. Before reading author Yolen note, I only know Columbus sailed into
the unknown without fear, I don't know that more about the entire process, I am very sorry for
the native indian american.

To Karen
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.

The treasure I seek..
The treasure I seek can't be found in the largest pyramid. Nor the deep end of The sahara desert or the dark end of the forests. My treasure can be found on 15th street . His name is Justin Jr. my grandson. His pretty blond hair that glows in the sunlight ,his eyes that sparkle like marbles went he smiles at me. He is truly my teasure , my hero , my superstar. He is the one who makes me feel like a kid again ,filling my life with happieness and joy . I especially love the way he greets me at the door smilling ear to ear , with an high piched hi following after. The time we spend together means the world to me , we always seem to have fun, even on the rainny, gloomy days. I love to take him the park and see him grow right before my eye. seeing how every is new to him , it makes me want to show him every beautiful thing that the world will soon offer him . One my favorite memories with Justin and me , was just this summer , me and him at the beach making sand castles, even if he thought throwing sand was help , he was happy , so i was aswell. As he gets older its sometimes crazy to see what he learns even if it was not tought to him, for example he loves football but im not to sure how at 15 monthes he gets it , he love to yell touch down with is little arms aboves his head , he amazes me every day. I truly treasure our cartoon time together, i love to see him dance at " YO GABBA GABBA'. And sing along with "DORA AND DIAGO". I love my grandson alot he means everything to me , helping and reminding me about the important things in life . He has changed the meaning of " BABY SITTING " and turned it into a joy . Justin Jr. is my treasure.

Do you think the author endorses Columbus
Do you think the author endorses Columbus Day. Why or Why not.
No I do not that the author endorses Columbus Day.
The author feels it was more of a tragedy then a celebration.
The Author Jane Yolen also speaks about the destruction
of the native people. When the spaniards colonized the island.
the native religion, languages, and lifestyles were changed
forever. She also states that 300,000 Taino Indians has de-
minished to a mere 500 in less than 60 years.
Columbus was a man of greed. He did not care much for the
natives. He was more interested in what had value which was
the gold, in addition he carried away 6 to 10 Taino men and
women according to different sources, then carting them back to
Spain as slaves.
The Taino Indians were gentle people. Sometimes they even.
painted their faces and bodies, to greet the strangers, furthermore
to share their bounty with a feast with them.
The author does not endorse Columbus day, she does not glorify
the destruction and the diminishing cultures of the natives. In which
he participated in, and changed the course of history. In my opinion
Columbus Day should not be celebrated, it should be day of rememberence
of the Taino Indians.
