Although separated by over 430 years, the most notable adventures of Christopher Columbus and Charles Lindbergh are both two pieces in the history of exploration. Like many other ventures, they share some similar characteristics: the intent of the trip, the obstacles that came as a result, the important factors that made each quest successful or unsuccessful, and the final result of their travels. The expeditions share many similarities, yet have various differences. In the grand scheme of things, however, they both interconnect the most with their vitality to the progress in the world that we live in.
When faced with challenges, it is a sink or swim kind of deal. You either adapt your skills to fit the situation at hand, or you fail. This is the case for both Charles Lindbergh and Christopher Columbus, no pun intended. While on opposite ends of a four-hundred year gap, both of these men crossed the Atlantic ocean; one nautically and one aeronautically. Columbus and Lindbergh faced challenges, adapted, and in turn they both accomplished great feats.
“Sometimes it's the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination” Drake once stated.

In his numerous adventures, he experiences the stages of the departure, initiation and the return in the hero’s journey.
Louie Zamperini and Mutsuhiro “The Bird” Watanabe: Character Comparison Like snowflakes, all people are extremely unique. Therefore, it can be assumed that we all have a different outlook on the world and will handle what the universe throws at us in our own way. In the young adult novel, Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand conveys this theme, war and trauma can have profound and varied effects on different people experiencing it in a similar way. She does this by showing the reader extremes at opposite ends of the spectrum: Louie Zamperini and Mutsuhiro Watanabe.
There are two journeys that everyone is surely to be acquainted with: the Christopher Columbus voyage to America and Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic Ocean. There are similarities that are very visible to the basic mind. However, there are also major contradictions, differences, and changes that took place within the 400 year time gap. Christopher Columbus’ voyage to the “new world” changed the world dramatically, opened a doorway of discoveries, and changed mankind forever. Accomplishing this feat was almost impossible for the desperate Christopher Columbus.

What makes every trip a quest? A quest is anything that has a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go to the place, challenges and trials en route, and lastly the real reason to go to the place.

The second quest Tuesdays with Morrie, a quest of a man who is slowly dying of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or A.L.S and his positive messages to humanity.

Each traveler would took saying a short story or poem around the camp fire, so they would not be tried of traveling all the time. There was a lady from the town of Bathe, she was one of the travelers with money. She traveled by horse and was partly deaf (Chaucer, line 445 page 438). Her story was about a knight
Christopher Columbus was an explorer who accidentally landed on the wrong continent and consequently led the deaths of millions of American Indians; yet he is exalted with such a status in society that he is designated his own holiday. He is a hero to those subsequent generations who profited over his “discovery,” setting off to the new continent for opportunity and escape from persecution. European Americans are grateful to the man that began the catalyst for the country they call home, but if American Indians retained control over the country, how might they portray the narrative? Certainly they would emphasize the heinous outcome of this discovery: the deaths of millions of innocent people and the near demise of a whole culture. Rather than
My Journey to America Moving from Nigeria to the United States permanently feels great, but at the same time it is sad leaving some of your loved ones and family behind. There are many events in life, which can change one’s way of thinking. As for me, one of the major changes in my life occurred when I moved from Africa to America. This change has entirely affected my personality positively. Why?
Moving is always hard. It is harder if you are moving from your birthplace to a culturally different country after spending most of your teenage years. I moved from Bangladesh to New York about a year and a half ago and let me tell you, it was not easy. I had to leave the place I grew up in, my friends and relatives and start a new life here in America. Probably the only good part was that at least I was with my family throughout this hardship.
