Robert Browining‚ a great Victorian poet‚ wrote two pre-1940 poems‚ ‘My last Duchess’ and ‘Prophyrias lover’‚ they are both examples of domineering me or individuals who end up killing their former lovers.

When reading about Maya’s childhood in the novel‚ I felt sympathetic towards her. She faced many hardships in her life‚ one of them mainly having to do with race.

Who Killed the Maya This video series was very interesting to watch because I really had no real knowledge of this culture or what they were about. It is so hard to believe that one person who wanted so much power would have been the catalyst so many years later to have a people destroy themselves. One of the key points I felt this video shared would be that of hidden history. This group of people has so much history‚ a 2000 year old history chock full of so many details. Researchers have
