Jennifer Lopez Prof. Burnham World History 10/24/12 Primary Sources Title: The Spanish Inquisition Objective: This essay analyzes the formation and features of the Spanish Inquisition as an ideology of the fifteenth century. It also explains the motives of the emergence of the inquisitorial Spain. The first cited sourced that I picked was from the book “The Origins of the Inquisition” in Fifteenth Century Spain, written by B. Netanyahu published in 1995.

Perhaps the longest ongoing debate involving our country is the one concerning the conflict between the European settlers and the Indians, in the seventeenth century. Today we ask the question, what does it mean to be a Native American? Or to go further, how are we to understand the concept of “otherness”? To answer these questions, I found two different articles to get a better understanding myself. After reading an article by a Native American and an article by a non-Native American, I’ve come to the personal conclusion that being Native American is almost the same as being from a native country with a different culture.

When I look back on my eighth grade year, I immensely remember the stress I had pulsing through my veins. Mrs. Williams was always there, to coach me and keep me going.

Verisimilitude is the quality in a literary work of appearing true to life, and is usually achieved by careful use of realistic detail in description, characterisation and dialogue. In the first part of the narrative, the description of the relationship between the mother and the daughter creates a feeling of warmth and comfort, and is supported by emotive language. During the dark and difficult times, thousands of moments like these must have occurred during the Holocaust. As a result, verisimilitude is another brilliant postmodern feature to appropriate this historical
Interview Discussing different cultures with people from other countries can help give us an idea of how different our own culture is from theirs.
