It was interesting to me to analyze the dynamic between the wives and their husbands as well as the brother’s relationship. I didn’t think the story was going where it was going‚ and never could expect what was to happen next. I was intrigued the whole time‚ while being appalled at the way individuals were treated or tossed to the side. It’s astonishing that Radha was murdered in the first place for simply not making

The Spanish’s need to colonize and conquer the Americas derived from their dreams of success‚ wealth‚ and power. When Spanish conquistadors conquered some of the richest and populous lands in South America‚ it caused a chain reaction of voyages and expeditions across Europe. The discoveries of gold‚ silver‚ newly captured slaves‚ and land uplifted the European economy. Self-recognition and “title” was also gained through conquering large‚ plentiful lands. Through the eyes of the Spaniards

“Give me liberty or give me death” - Patrick Henry. These words are the essence of human life; without freedom is life lived in the darkest of caves. In the Colonists case‚ they are bound by a ruler who lives thousands of miles away‚ which is by no means a sufficient argument on waging war and breaking away from Britain‚ however‚ many offences have been made by the Mother country. In my opinion‚ colonists were justified because of taxation without representation‚ tyranny‚ and soiled relationship

Liberty The definition of liberty to me is still best expressed by Thomas Jefferson‚ who once gave us the following definition: “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within the limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will‚ and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” This definition of liberty was and still is the foundation for us to follow. I would like to expand

“Give me liberty‚ or give me death!” Patrick Henry’s famous words still remain in history to influence our country‚ but many Americans generally neglect this phrase. We often take our freedom for granted without understanding how our Founding Fathers fought for our liberty from Britain. As Americans‚ we should respect our country and the freedom and rights given to us. We shouldn’t take this for granted because so many people around the world are unfortunate to not have this gift that most of us

The Spanish came to the Americas not so much to colonize as to seek gold and glory. A decidedly secondary reason was to Christianize the Indians‚ although this was frequently overlooked‚ and demonstrated more by destroying Indian artifacts as "idolatry" than demonstrating Christian virtue. They had no intention of establishing permanent colonies other than to protect their gold and silver interests. Spain at the time was the poorest country in Europe‚ and gold and silver from its Empire was used
