She wrote Tiger Tiger as a memoir of her fourteen year relationship with Peter and everything that came with being “in love” with him. It is a shocking eye opener that takes readers on a journey through the eyes of what may seem as the wrong behavior yet, for Fragoso it was all she knew.

Some gods were even related to each other. They would build temples to honor their gods. The Aztecs also believed in an afterlife, they believed the gods would assign them jobs to do after death like push the sun from morning to night, or help create nature.The job would depend on how you died.
