Assignment - Focus Paper, The Broken Spears Using specific examples from the book, answer the following two questions: 1. What do the documents featured in the book tell us about the point of view of the people who wrote them, and about the experience of conquest by the Spanish? 2. In what ways do the accounts contained in The Broken Spears support arguments made in the textbook about the American (Columbian Exchange)? Identify gaps in coverage in both sources, keeping in mind that The Broken Spears is a primary source (the voices of people who actually witnessed or experienced the conquest of Mexico) and the textbook is a secondary source (written well after the fact and whose purpose is to convey broad coverage of modern world history).

The Greco-Roman World of the New Testament James S.

He takes the reader through the religious background to the Christian era, what life was like in urban areas and in the provinces, tools of government, Jews in the cities, the importance of citizenship, the status of women and education, as well as a comparative look at ancient and modern slavery, and a detailed comparison of the ancient social class hierarchy.

Comparison Essay- Holocaust and Anti-Semitism As a field of study, history is open to different interpretations of the same events. Historians will no doubt see and understand the same event, or similar events differently. The Holocaust is one such event; Omer Bartov and James Glass each wrote different articles trying to explain the motives behind the anti-Semitism prevalent in Europe during World War Two (WWII) and the Holocaust which occurred as a direct result of that anti-Semitism. Each historian takes a different approach in explaining the same complex issue. Bartov's article, Enemies, Making Victims: Germans, Jews, and the Holocaust, focuses on long-term causes and effects of the anti-Semitism, using mostly secondary sources.
Hall Of Mirrors “Reading Response” As we know while reading Hall of Mirrors by Laura A. Lewis; she explains the differences between Spanish, Blacks, and Indians throughout this colonial period in Latin America. While reading we slowly get a good understanding of caste system, dives into the witch craft cult, and how it kind of created a since of power in the caste system. This is key in understanding how a sort of balance of power took place for the Indians in this Spanish pyramid system. While reading chapter three its quickly apparent that Lewis is explaining something completely different than chapters four and five. The first three chapters are there in a way to give the reader a since of background information on the caste system, which in a way helps with the examples she shows throughout her reading.
Ishmael teaches through stories about Takers and Leavers. Takers are “civilized” and Leavers are “primitive.” The author also used history and religion to get across many of his thought-provoking ideas. I learned a great amount of material from this well-written novel. This novel taught some important things. One of these is how human civilization is destroying the world.
