Music of Mexico

Astronomy, architecture, blood sacrifice. Ancient Mayan civilization is something that I’ve held in particular fascination ever since I visited Chichen Itza, one of the seven wonders of the world. For me, thinking about the technological advancement of ancient structures like Chichen Itza is a void that is easy to be drawn into, and is a pastime I have to actively avoid on weeknights for the sake of productivity. Even now, clutched in the depths of sleep deprivation and rigorous studies, the…

As part of my second paper assignment of recreating the image I analyzed in Paper One, I decided to venture down to Deep Ellum with a few friends. Not only did we stop at Braindead Brewing for a quick bite to eat, but we also explored the streets. The area is so fascinating and reminds me much of downtown Kansas City. The tiny streets juxtaposed with the bustling city and the old, rustic brick buildings makes me feel as though this area is best fit for recreating Jacob Riis’ “Bandit’s Roost.”…

Due to a treaty with Great Britain, Polk was able to add a majority of the Oregon territory to the U.S., but Great Britain would give up its claim entirely. Polk wanted to get Britain out of North America, seeing as Spain and Russia had given up their claims. Again Manifest Destiny can be seen, the need to expand the U.S.'s power and hold of the nation.

At this point, the major problems of Nicaragua were that…
