The main idea of the passage is about different use of the Chaco Canyon's buildings. But, all of them is rejected by the lecturer. Few fire places in the Chaco Canyon's settlements shows that these places are not for residential purpose. So as lecturer says, the enormous number of the room do not prove that this place are used like "apartment building", which is mentioned by the passage. Therfore, The lecturer seriously casts doubt on this claim. Also, another claim that these structures were used as store food aupplies, is rejected by the narrator. Indeed, in this building there are no remainig grain maize on the floor. In addition, the storing grains must be kept in the big containers; but, like remaining grain there are not any big containers

Because Schreffler is arguing that Díaz, López de Gómara, Solís and González created a misconstrued view of Aztec painting, imagery is a vital component of this essay.

For example, Schreffler includes two images of paintings done by the
In the first chapter of the book the author Michel-Roth Trouillot he brings up the story of the Alamo. He shows the reader how the same story can be viewed in completely different ways. He starts by telling the story in very matter of fact fashion from the Mexican point of view.

También la lluvia is a tragic tale of the water wars in Cochbamba from the view point of a movie crew trying to make a movie about the Spanish conquistadors who came to conquer the native people. During the movie we are flashed between two points of view the conquistadors conquering and the water wars. During this reflection paper I hope to make a connection between these two points of views and show how they both related to each other. The conquistadors and the water company/government both do three things first they came for a resource, second they force the natives to follow their policies, and lastly if they don’t do as they are told they use violence to suppress them.
For many years The Aztec Empire was able to rule all of Mexico by killing and destroying everything on their path. This group of people, who was known to be the “The Mexica”, was hardly able to survive by eating snakes and other small mammals. However, the Aztecs overcame those troubles and became a successful tribe, in which their ultimate goal was to be the most dominant. This tribe was considered to be more advance and successful than other people do to the brilliant way they build their cities, temple and pyramids. In addition, it was believed that they had great communication skills and strong religious beliefs. Although, the Aztec had many skills and where considered to be bright human beings, it was still not enough to defeat the Spanish conquistadors who had arrived in Mexico. Finally, this powerful tribe had conquer and remain in power for so many years, which leads to the question what went wrong. In this essay it will explain the Aztec’s history as well as the mistakes that leaded to their mistakes.

Finally, I can conclude that having a history written by someone else, especially by ones conquerors is difficult. Now only many elements will be left aside, but much truth will not be told. In this paper, I tried to explain this theory may not always apply to history. Although the Spanish were conquering, killing, stealing and raping, there were good people with clear purposes. The purpose of bring forward the facts of what happened in the dark era of today’s Latin America. While Diaz describe almost everything he saw and heard from the natives while in the city of Tenochtitlan, while Leon judges many of the actions of the Spanish and explains the spirituality of the Incas and while Casas portrays the pure and genuine character of the native
