« Pour le repas  CC= Christopher Columbus I’m going to talk about the notion of myths and heroes.

And as exemple we will take CRistopher Columbus First of all, I’m going to give a definition about this notion.

A myth is a symbolic and fabled story from a community, a social practice generally orally given which proposes an explanation on the foundations of a world, of a society.

It is also a cultural identity in which a society recognizes itself. Therefore, it answers questions and allows a society to feel at peace with itself.

A hero transmits the myth through their acts or speeches.

They can be real or completely fictional.

Christpher Columbus an Italian navigator was the first men to discover in 1492 the new world also knowed as America.

He became a national hero in the united states for sailing the ocean blue, an national day was atribuated to his person its called Christopher Columbus day celebrated on every second Monday of october Event ho he became a national héro he becomes more and more contoversial trought the years Is Christopher Columbus still a national héro ? I will first talk about the myth about Christopher Columbus and the symbols derived from his person then we will talk about the historical reality of Christopher Columbus and to finish it all we will talk about the controversy about Christopher Columbus day Christopher Columbus arrived on october the 12 with his crew composed of ninety sailors, on the Bahamas shores.
