Cabeza de Vaca picture

This picture is a perfect example of bad decisions. A moth is an insect closely related to a butterfly. Obviously, by its small body, a moth is not fit for the job of steering a boat. That decision eventually leads to a horrific result. A boat is now destroyed, the moth is most likely dead, and the supplies or the valuable belongings on that ship are destroyed along with the boat. Another thing is that too many animals are on that one boat. That little boat can not hold up all that weight. That’s another disaster waiting to happen.

This image is related to the Cabeza de Vaca article because the article also has a part where bad decisions are made. Cabeza de Vaca was part of the Narvaez expedition. Narvaez was considered to be a self-centered man and a poor leader. Despite of that, he was the captain of the whole journey. The crew made the bad decision to place him as the leader or even joining the expedition in the first place. Like the picture above, ships were destroyed and eventually it was every man for himself. Only four survived, including Cabeza de Vace. The article and the picture is a perfect example of “think before you act.”
