When looking at the exploration of what was named “the New World,” they often point to the success of the conquistador’s missions and attribute it to their determination, skill, and weaponry.

    1. In the beginning of the chapter, there was an explosion that occurred. It seems as if there was a battle occurring from afar, but the boys weren’t able to see.

I believe that everything develops at their own speed because different places have different beliefs and have their own ways of evolving. Since I was born, my grandparents would take me with them to National Parks such as Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, and Crater Lake.
