Both the lecture and the reading hold different position, respectively, on the issue of whether Columbus landed on America shores before chinese or not. The lecturer’s argument is formed around many points that are in direct contrasts to the material in the reading passage.
To begin with, the lecturer claims that stone, Canada’s Cape Breton Island, is not formed by human. Because, most geologist argues that the stone formation is very natural. Even they maintain that the stone shape is not artificial. This contrasts to the writer’s argument that stone, Canada’s Cape Breton Island, similar to those used in medieval china architecture.
On top of that, the lecturer argues that doughnut-shaped anchor found in California does not came from china. To be specific, there is no clue and proof that china is arrived before Columbus. This counters the reading passage’s viewpoint that doughnut-shaped anchor is very similar with chinese style.
Lastly, the lecturer asserts that Newport Tower in Rhode Island does not ground for chinese structure. In fact, the Tower is more similar with windmill in Europe. This casts doubt on the writer’s claim that Newport Tower in Rhode Island resemble lighthouse in southern china. |
