The Travelogue of an Astronomer

I believe that Hameed includes so much history about the island, because he is leading up to his story. This to me showed me a new way to observe. Hameed gives such vivid detail which gives you a picture of what this island really looks like. By Hameed giving so much history it also gives a better understanding of where he really is. Verses just telling the audience that he went to La Palma to observe the galaxy with hisn telescope. The history makes the island seem more interesting, and almost scary.

i agree with Brittany when she said that it gives you more background informatin and leads up to what actually he is observing. This is another way to start your essay, by talking about the history of it or how it became developed.
