Well, this section took a turn that I really wasn’t expecting, like at all. I had a handful of ideas about who I thought was responsible for all of this, but the book is pointing fingers now at a character I never would have expected. The last section ends with Frank finding Ariel’s body which […]
Well, ask and you shall receive I guess. The last two sections haven’t had a lot of action and have been mostly about character development and such, but this section changed that. The book is meant to be about this series of murders but there hasn’t been one since the first section of the book […]

What insights or messages about cultural encounters or frontiers does this text show? Bartolomè da las Casas’s text connects to the topic of Cultural Encounters and Frontiers by showing what happens […]
