give a short opinion on this response
Columbu's description of the Caribbean reflected Spain's motivation because his description showed that he had come across a place of wealth and beauty. I think it would have affected his observation in that his observation could be more poetic and emphasize the beauty of the place and it's resources. In that case his observation would reflect an admiration and not an economic desire. It would have affected his observation in the sense that he would have just admired the place for his beauty and opportunities without reporting to anybody.
