Throughout his letter to Emperor Charles V, he continuously tries to convey a sense of barbarity among the Aztec, as to justify his and his emperor’s future plans for the empire.…

Fascinating as it sounds, I was always intrigued to understand why fruits and vegetables spoil or often cause food poising in humans. Although, when I questioned my mother why these fruits spoil, she responded it was due to "little bugs," which was not a sufficient response.…
