Essay PlanIntroduction: When Jacques Cartier was a little boy, an old man with white hair told him significantly,” Your will be a successful explorer, your will sail to a mysterious place.” At that time, Cartier could not understand what the strange old man said. However, it is fate, nobody can stop fate. In 1534, when Cartier became a forty-three-year-old adult who was an explorer, he started his first voyage with his soldiers. Eventually, as we know, Cartier found Canada and became one of the most notable explorers of the world. Thesis Statement:
Before his first voyage, Cartier did not realize that exploration can create conflicts and misunderstanding by awful first impressions, communication disorders and strong possessive instinct, but he never regretted to do such great achievement.

Body Paragraph 1
After few days sailing, all the soldiers were so famished. Suddenly, to their surprise, they saw a new land. They landed at there. Cartier was exciting for the beauty of the landscape. Some of the soldiers laid on the green grass, others prepared for a picnic. It seemed liked they would hold a party to celebrate their discovery. Some Indians heard the soldier’s cheering. They came running towards the soldiers. When the soldiers and Indians saw each other, they were too afraid to say anything. They had different skin colors: the Indian had black skin and the European had white skin. The most important is, the Indian hold the spears and the European hold cane knives. It looked like they came from different planets. Cartier hated the awful first impressions, and the Indians darted a hostile glance at them. Actually, that was not Cartier wanted. At that moment, Cartier realized that exploration can create conflict and misunderstand by awful first impressions.

Body Paragraph 2
Cartier wanted to change the nervous atmosphere, so he talked to the Indians,” Who is your chief?” Then a short man with the longest spear said a long sentence liked a bird to Cartier. Certainly, Cartier understood nothing. Then the man said the long sentence again and again until he started to be angry, Cartier still understood nothing and shake his head. The Indians laughed at Cartier. Obviously, they had different language, it was impossible to understand. Finally, the chief was so angry so that he sited on the ground and kept talked to Cartier crazy. Cartier could not keep being patient and he was confused. After a while, Cartier lost his patient. When he faced the new land, he could not stop himself getting the new land. He talked to all the soldiers,” Do you want to get the new land?” All of the soldiers responded “yes”. Then Cartier yelled at the Indians,” I do not care if you can understand me, but we will colonize here! ” It precipitated a big war was coming. Suddenly Cartier realized that exploration can create conflict and misunderstand by communication disorders.

Body Paragraph 3The Indian and the European fought for a long time. When Cartier was fighting with an Indian, he was thinking of getting the new land for his country. At the same time, when the Indian was fighting with Cartier, he was thinking of protecting the land for his nation. They kept fighting until there was no fight left in the Indians.

Conclusion: Eventually, the Indians failed. The fight of an exploration always have this kind of consequence: One side wins, the other side fails. Certainly, no one want to see fight, but no one can stop it.Restatement of Thesis: After the first voyage, Jacques Cartier realized that exploration can create conflicts and misunderstanding by awful first impressions, communication disorders and strong possessive instinct, but he never regretted to do such great achievement.
