Unit I Article Critique
American philosopher George Santayana (1863-1952) is credited with a famous quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Keeping Santayana's quote in mind, you are asked to write an article critique responding to Columbus's "Discovery of the New World" letter that is in the required reading section of this unit. Summarize at least two or three main points mentioned in Columbus's letter (while considering the date, purpose, and intended audience of the letter), and synthesize your summary into an article critique that meets the following criteria:
Analyze how important (or not) Columbus's letter is to American literature.
Explain cultural, historical, and philosophical forces that impacted reactions to Columbus's letters.
Discuss whether Columbus Day should remain a federal holiday in the United States or be replaced with Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Your article critique should be no fewer than 500 words, and you must correctly cite and reference Columbus's letter as appropriate in both the body of your writing and on the reference page.
