Juan de Solorzano y Pereyra says that the Indians practiced savage customs or they attempted to commit treason against the Spanish people. Bartolome de Las Casas says that the Indians were gentle sheep and the Spaniards rushed in like a bunch of starving wolves, tigers and lions ready to devour. The Spaniards slew the Indians as if their lives did not matter what so ever. All of this happened throughout Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Mexico (Hispaniola). Juan Gines de Sepulveda Sepulveda said that the Indians are a savage and cruel race and that the Spanish are a superior race that is why the Indians should be treated as if they are inferior.
Jose Doroteo Arango Arambula also known as Francisco Villa or as we know him Pancho Villa was born June 5, 1878 and was one of the most important Mexican Revolutionary general in Mexico. Pancho Villa was born Doroteo Arango, the son of a sharecropper at the hacienda in San Juan Del Rio, Durango. While growing up, Pancho Villa witnessed and experienced the harshness of peasant life. In Mexico during the late 19th century, the rich were becoming richer by taking advantage of the lower classes, often treating them like slaves. When Villa was 15, his father died, so Villa began to work as a sharecropper to help support his mother and four siblings.
Miguel Hidalgo recognized the Mestizo and indigenous frustrations and being a Criollo elite he believed he could organize the two groups to fight alongside the Criollo in a revolution against the rule of the Peninsulares and the local Spanish government. Hidalgo managed to organize them with talks about taking back the land that had been stolen from them from the Peninsulares even though it was the Criollo that had taken the majority of the land. Hidalgo had an army of about 20 thousand made up of Working class people armed with shovels and machetes they marched to a nearby Peninsulare mining town to attack, but having little control over his army the Mestizo and Indigenous rampaged and killed hundreds of Peninsulares and Criollos alike, knowing
When people think of a hero, they think of Superman, Batman, or some cliche along those lines. Heroes that save lives, stop an evil villain, or rescue their loved ones. However, the average, everyday person who defies the odds when placed in an extraordinary situation is a hero as well. The Princess Bride is a classic Hollywood film of a man returning after many years to rescue his true love with the help of some friends met along the way.
Miguel Hidalgo When people think of an epic hero, do they think of an epic hero as being only a story-base character or can they be real people? Miguel Hidalgo certainly fits the epic hero exemplar. He has strong enough qualities that can support an answer stating that, real people are able to represent an epic hero. Most people define an epic hero as “brave and noble character in an epic poem, admired for great achievements or affected by grand
The first piece of artwork I critiqued was the famous Virgin of Guadalupe. The Virgin of Guadalupe is currently exhibited in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The piece of art is not solely a painting, but an enconchado. It was made into wood, and it essentially creates a reflective surface that appears as moving. Also, I like how they explain their theory on the woman of the apocalypse and how it relates to this piece of art.
Ever heard of somebody who was claimed as a murder for three hundred people? If not, then you are going to hear about it now and be well aware of who he is . Pedro Alonso Lopez, also known as Monster of the Andes, was a colombian serial killer who was sentenced for killing eighty girls, but he claimed he murded and rapped about three hundred. Pedro Lopez was known for raping girls around his country then moved to Peru and Ecuador and all around. Pedros dad died when Benilda; his mother, was three months pregnant with her son at the time of his father's death.
Pedro Lopez , also known as “The Monster of the Andes”, was born on October 8, 1949 in Tolima, Colombia. He was known for being a serial killer for murdering about one hundred ten to three hundred young girls, and a rapist for raping about three hundred young girls in South America. He was also in the Guinness World Records for being the "most prolific serial killer". His mother, Benilda López De Casteneda, was a prostitute at about the age of twelve and his father, Midardo Reyes, was a member of the Colombian Conservative Party (something dealing with politics) where they lived in poverty and political violence. Lopez was the seventh child out of thirteen children.
An outlying theme in Arango's oeuvre, and in Colombian art of the era, it that it is seemingly more sensible to see her paintings within the context of literary production, as customary of women's culture in Colombia which accentuates captivity and confinement combined with the depiction of female mental illness and/or physical illness. In the painting Esquizofrenia, Arango also enters into an established international tradition of the visual representation of the female sufferers of mental disorders as well as the “hysterical woman”. The woman depicted in Esquizofrenia represents proximity and compression both through the way in which she almost fills the limits of the frame, and the way her body appears to be straining through the confines
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.

Analysis of “Vanitas” by Juan de Valdés Leal The sixteenth century brought about many great artists, who painted in the popular style of the time Baroque. The artist and one of his paintings we will be looking at is ‘Vanitas’ by Juan de Valdés Leal (1660). The work currently resides in the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut.
Luis de Góngora is a 17th century baroque poet. He does not write poetry for the masses he only writes for the educated hierarchy. He ensures this by employing techniques such as culteranismo and conceptismo which are both evident in "Soneto CLXVI". The main themes evident in "Soneto CLXVI" are time and beauty and how beauty doesn 't last through time. Góngora often writes poetry which focuses on the "tempus fugit" or the "carpe diem" element of life and this poem is no different.
