Personal Narrative: My First Expedition With Vasco Nunez De Balboa

I’m Francisco Pizarro. I’m a conquistador. I went on my first expedition with Vasco Nunez de Balboa. We went on a march to the South Sea. We discovered the Pacific ocean. Then became the first european to travel Isthmus of Panama to the Pacific ocean. The expedition was going good and steady until Balboa started to take over everything. He became more demanding and started doing things on his own. We found land that was taken by the natives. He asked for their land and they said no. He started to threaten them and say he was going to kill them. Balboa kept threatening them and then he let the dogs out. They started attacking the natives. They were eating them and biting them. Balboa told his crew to come out and kill them too. I was panicking
and I didn’t want to get killed so I had to go along with it. The natives who survived were enslaved. We took over their land. We stayed for a pretty long time. When we went back, everyone was so proud of Balboa. I knew it wasn’t right, so I told the king. I felt like I betrayed him, but it was the right thing to do. The king made me arrest him. I felt less guilty. I wonder how Balboa will end up.
