Alas‚ in the midst of our exchange‚ Columbus became extremely furious. His pale skin went from white to boiling red in rage. I had no clue why he was so frustrated‚ when just a second earlier he was the happiest person on earth. He shouted at his men‚ but I couldn’t understand a word he said.

That’s important because without the eye the narrator did not have the courage to kill the old man. The narrator killing the old man is killed‚ is a huge
