This can be inferred when analyzing his document “Letter to Luis de Santagel Regarding the First Voyage,” in which he unrealistically paints a picture of beauty and cooperation in order to appease the Spanish Monarchy. This document is relevant in the national identity of the developing United States because it is the inception of characteristics that many Americans have exhibited throughout history, such as self-glorification,

  • Marco Polo's Description Of Zenobia

    183 Words  | 1 Pages

When he described a city on “on high pilings, with many platforms and balconies placed on stilts at various heights,” (35) my mind instantly recalled Salvador Dalí’s painting Elephants. These elephants had large, wide, hefty looking bodies, with coned houses on their backs, and small, stick-like legs. So, like Dalís painting, I drew my houses grande, tall, and wide, and my bases and supporting structures small like sticks. Then, somewhat like how treehouses connect, I added in ladders and floating sidewalks to connect each of the houses and placed water barrels and fishing poles around the houses as well.
