72 days in the Andes no food, nothing. I read the book Miracle in the Andes, written by , Nando Parrado. Nando Parrado plays for a rugby team and he and his team go on a trip to play a game. The pilot says there is bad weather, but Nando and his friends start calling the pilot names, so the pilot listens and flies them to their game. But, they did not make it to their game. In the book, Miracle in the Andes, Nando Parrado is a hero because he saves others lives, he survives 72 days in the Andes, and he has faith in God. Nando was a hero in many ways. Roy, Nando’s friend was struggling as they were climbing up the mountain.

Nando was one of the few that trusted in God to get them out of the Andes. Although, he did not have faith in God the whole time. He did most of the time. “If there is a God, and if He wanted my attention, He certainly has it now.” (Nando, 85). If Nando did not trust in God, no one would have gotten out of the Andes. Through this whole process in the Andes people got to have a relationship or have a better relationship. God has a reason for everything. In the book, Miracle in the Andes, Nando Parrado is a hero because he saves others lives, he survives 72 day in the Andes, and he has faith in God. Nando is a role model to me because even when he was mad at God or did not like the situation. He still believed in God that He would get them out of the Andes. Everyone should be like Nando and have faith in God even when you don’t feel like

Rigoberta Menchu never went to school in her childhood because the economic resources did not give her the chance to have that kind of education, so she had an autodidact training performed by her parents, but she had a lot of opportunities to grow.

Often times in high school history classes, they focus on the voyages themselves rather than the culture of the Spanish society. They were very religious, as were many other empires. Despite a major concentration on the riches of the New World, the conquest of the Americas is best understood through the evangelism and theology of both the indigenous people and Spanish voyagers.
