In the mid-1800s, Peru's economy revolved around natural fertilizer which they called guano. Guano was the gold of the time, it would grow crops in almost any soil. Guano was in high demand, as it was the best fertilizer at the time. It had the perfect combination of nutrients and had plentiful supply of nitrogen and phosphorus. Peru was flourishing but their economy ran solely on guano. Guano was being devoured and it would soon run out. After Peru ran out of guano, the country collapsed.
There are twenty Spanish speaking counties worldwide. Out of those twenty countries there are about 475 million Spanish speaking people. People often believe most Hispanics are very similar in these countries, but in fact they are very diverse. Some the differences are the foods, music, and history of the people. The two countries that show this are Peru and Mexico. These countries are from two distinct cultures and two different continents.
He was very powerful and wise. During the Emperor’s middle age, the Empress, the Emperor’s wife, had a child. The child was a girl, and her name was Ixtlaccihuatl. Many years later, Ixtlaccihuatl fell in love with a warrior named Popocatepetl. Although, her father forbid her to marry. The Emperor wanted his daughter to rule alone when he died. The Emperor began to grow old and become ill as the enemies began to get closer and closer to Tenochtitlan. Instead of the Emperor assigning a warrior to lead the rest of the warriors in battle, he offered a bribe to them all. He said if you defeat the enemies, you will have my daughter’s hand in marriage and you will rule Tenochtitlan. The warriors were pleased at what they heard. At the end, the warriors said Popocatepetl was the best in battle, but they were jealous of him. Because of their jealousy, they told the Emperor that Popocatepetl had died in battle. As soon as the Emperor saw his daughter, he told her that Popocatepetl had died. Ixtlaccihuatl quickly became very ill, and died of a broken heart. Popocatepetl returned to Tenochtitlan, and was told Ixtlaccihuatl had died. He took her to the top of a pyramid, and buried her there. Beside that pyramid was another, and there he stood with a torch in his hand. Years went by and snow came. Now there are two volcanoes side by side, Popocatepetl and

Steven J. Stern’s text, Peru’s Indian Peoples and the Challenge of Spanish Conquest, highlights from beginning to end Spain’s conquest of the Andean people while articulating the transformation of the relationship between these two peoples. He illustrates how Spain’s efforts toward colonialism of the Andes, transformed the natives from a self-sufficient group of people into an oppressed caste system known as “Indians.” Additionally, he introduces the idea that the Spanish needed to break the indigenous and gain their favor in order successfully establish dominance over them and their land. While arguing this, he offers several facts, which contradict the black legend associated with the Spanish and their means of conquest.
In the Heart of the Andes’ painting by Robert Seldon Duncanson, an immensely deceptive illusion is cultivated. This 1871 naturalistic landscape entices the viewer’s senses and lends itself to being part of the “beautiful” which is _____. This painting is a rendition of an earlier work done by Frederic Church in 1859. The formal qualities present in Heart of the Andes appear to fabricate an amicable symbiotic relationship between man and nature with motifs of God acting to legitimize human fallibility.
Sor Juana again demonstrates her superior knowledge and capabilities in employing complex Latin language into her argument. As suggested by Stephanie Kirk, “Latin wielded a symbolic power throughout the early modern period” (Kirk 83). Therefore, Sor Juana’s use of Latin language when speaking directly to the patriarchy is ironic as she flaunts her immense knowledge to those who originally restricted her from pursuing education. Ultimately, Sor Juana’s “To the Gentleman in Peru” is a poem filled with critical language and addresses issues of gender roles and the limitations of “woman” in Colonial Mexico.

When people think of Peru they don’t imagine in depth about the exploration of Peru and how it was cultivated as the country it is to this very day. One person important to the findings of Peru was an explorer and conquistador that go by the name of Francisco Pizarro and his exploration and conquering of Peru. The foundation of the culture, such as traditions, customs, and religion during the findings of the conquest are vital to knowing how this impacted Peru. Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire with only two hundred men compared to the Incas that had thousands but the culture of Peru still survived even after the conquest.
Culture is the aquired knowledge that people use to interpret, experience, and generate social behavior.

Trickster tales are short stories told by griots all around the world. They are most notably known for surviving for centuries and are traditionally passed down through generations. These tales have been a major part of oral storytelling in plenty of cultures and are still around today. Trickster tales all have a considerable amount of similar attributes. They include a protagonist who most often is an animal of some kind and has human characteristics, and this action is called anthropomorphism. In addition, all trickster tales used their smarts to outwit the antagonist, also known as “brain over brawn”. This occurs when the protagonist is physically much smaller than the antagonist, however, the trickster is mentally more intelligent. Furthermore, the trickster is constantly gaining knowledge and spreading ideas with others. The act of the trickster doing so is referred to as the helpfulness of the trickster. All trickster tales can be identified with the help of these three components, anthropomorphism, the use of “brain over brawn”, and the helpfulness of the trickster.
