Final Essay For this Term
Explorations can create conflict and misunderstanding
__In this world , lands were always be found out by explorations. There were many kinds of explorations long time ago. Some of them found a new land and take care with the native people , and some were not. When the explorers got on to the land , most of native people won't let them on and they would be looking strange at them. If the explorers can't give the things they like or need , the native people may not welcome to them. If their language are not the same , that would be very difficult for them to conmmunicate. That's may be very easy to create conflict and misunderatanding.
__Also , some great people find a land but lost his life. Mr.Magellan--the man who found India was killed by native people. He in order to conquer this fertile and rich land , he had a lot of bold ambitions to do this. He attempted to use the native people's conflict to achieve his purpose , but in a conflict with local tribes , the Magellan was dead.
__Magellan fleet last Nov.28,1520 exit of the Strait of 550 kilometers in length into the vast Pacific Ocean.Magellan led the remaining three boats started the journey across the South China Sea. At first , they sail north , began to change after the voyage to the northwest and the direction of flight due west to the Moluccas. Although Magellan awarded of the Moluccas near the equator , but still command the fleet crossed the equator , they sailed to the north latitude of 10 degree near by the water area.
__However , there were a little foods on the boat and water to eat and drink. The most terrible thing is that almost everyone on the boat infected with the scurvy.
__Soon , Magellan become the new protector of Christians. He was in a conflict between two leaders of the island. April 21,1512 night , Magellan led his 60 men took three boats to their and disaster killed by axes.
__Now , you can see he was one of the explorer that was killed by the conflict of the exploration. The explorers won't create conflict and misunderstanding if they just wanted to open their mind. The people from the same country as the explorers must be wanted to have a bigger house , a bigger land , they must let the explorers to find a new land and make some of the people can live there. Some explorer started to argue with these native people and then they started war. That's why exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding.

Answer each question in 3-5 sentences.:
1. If the maps around you showed the existence of the Northwest Passage, would you believe it? Why?
I don't believe that because at that time the map shouldn't be compeleted so that the people at that time didn't know where the right way it is.
2. If you were John Cabot and someone told you the Northwest Passage didn't exist. What would you say? What would you feel? How would you react?
I must say "You are kidding! That can't happen on the earth. " I will also ask him , "Have you ever seen that before?" Because what you think is what you see. "You can't see anything you like before you really see it."
3. Find a map by Humphrey Gilbert from 1582. What do you see in the picture? Explain.

ESSAY PLAN
__There are many explorers from all over the world who had been sent to many places to find a new place and they learned a lot of life experiences from other people. That is called “exploration”. There are many kinds of resources that the explores have ever seen when they got into a new place. The countries can change their difference resources to make their relations well. Both them would get the things they needed and be happy.
__Exploration is very important for countries because many countries have a lot of people and there living place is small. Jacques Cartier (December 31, 1491–September 1, 1557) was a French explorer who claimed what is now Canada for France. He was the first European to describe the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the shores of the Saint Lawrence River, which he named "The Country of Canada's", after the Iroquois names for the two big settlements he saw at Steadicam (Quebec City) and at Haulage (Montreal Island). He did a lot of things for Canadian people. A new land for a country is so important that many people can have a bigger place to live. That’s why exploration is so important to countries.
__Exploration is important because it can change the relationship between two countries. A country must need to change their thinking, their things to make their country more strong. Exploration from each country must be the most important people between them. They know a lot about the other countries. They change their thinking and that can help their countries develop faster than before. Two countries change their knowledge then their relation would be better than before. They can get what they would need from each other. Exploration is important for countries. Countries can get many sources from other lands and can find more land to live and can change the relationship between two countries.
