- My views of Columbus changed during our study of Columbus, because first I thought that Columbus was a great explorer but after our study of Columbus I learned that he treated the natives very bad and also started the triangular trade. Which made me change my mind.
 * 1. Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not?**

2. **What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus?** - The most persuasive argument that supports my current perspective about Columbus is that Columbus tortured the natives and made them slaves but the natives treated Columbus very nicely when he landed in the new world in 1492.

3. **Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?** - Yes, I think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes because if we don't, we wont know if that person is actually a hero or not. For example at first we thought Columbus was a hero but when we learned the natives perspective we found out that he actually wasn't a hero.

4. **How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school?** - I think I will use the perspective that Columbus was a villain as I continue learning history this year and in high school. By using the things I learned about Columbus like he was a slave trader and started the triangular trade in future projects or tests on Columbus.
