On the other hand, I was able to learn the necessary skills to converse with the authors in the text, From Inquiry to an Academic Writing, by Stuart Greene and April Lidinsky.…

My initial sights of the New World and the native people was enigmatic and disconcerting- never have I felt so unacquainted with a populace. I have spent my time here in Mexico City trailing along with a group of apprentices of master artists whom I traveled with on the ship from Seville. My artist companions have enlightened my understanding of New World society with their paintings in the time that we have spent together. I’ve been earning exceptional fortune in harvesting New World cochineal for export to Europe and providing pigments for the paint of my fellow artist friends.…

    I remember the day when I had the thought that would from that day on never fail to amaze me. I remember walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago with the smell of Garrett Popcorn and sewage roaming the air.
