La Leyenda Negra sobre negativa vista negativa de España. Bartolomé de las casas escribió sobre los españoles practicado una violencia sistemática y participaron un nivel de verdadero genocidio en contra de indígena. Bartolomé  who was a conquistador stood up for the indians because when the spanish were selling slaves, Bartolomé  would show up and substituto the indios por esclavos negors importados de Africa. Bartolomé fue nombrado el protector de los indios. Juan Gines de Sepúlveda said the war against the Indians was justa y licita pero Bartolomé did not think so. He refuted the famous Spaniard Sepúlveda´s thesis. Spanish were corrupt and very cruel to the Americans. People in the Americans wanted to be anti-catholic because that is what spainish people were. The Americans wanted to sepárate themselves from such awful people. At first, like previously mentioned above, the spaniards would work the Indians to death so Bartolomé then said why not African slaves instead which introduced the idea that slavery should be based on race because African slaves work harder than Indian slaves. Bartolomé later tried to save himself saying that slavery should be abolished but the european government did not listen to him. Bartolomé worked until he was dead to abolish African slavery. 500 years later people pushed for that to happen and now they are second-class citizens. 

Popol Vuh y el capítulo 2 de Génesis ambos sobre creando el mundo. Ellos ambos created the the mountains and the valleys and the water that ran in between them first before man.  Un diferencia entre Popol Vuh y el capítulo 2 de Génesis, Popol Vuh había dos personas, Tepeu y Gucumatz. que hizo la tierra. Tepeu y Gucumatz had to have a discussion and meditate before they ever created the earth. El capítulo 2 de Génesis solamente Dios es el creador. el capítulo 2 de Génesis the earth was created by God in siete días, mientras en Popol Vuh was made de la noche a la mañana. el capítulo 2 de Génesis el cielo was created but en Popol Vuh el cielo was not created. Popol Vuh el cielo was created long before la tierra was ever created. El capítulo 2 de Génesis only thing needed to créate man was God himself, mientras Popol Vuh, Tepeu y Gucumatz needed other people to help out ‘Your coming has been fruitful, Heart of Heaven; and you, Huracán, and you, Chipi-Caculhá, Raxa-Caculhá!” el capítulo 2 de Génesis is more of a lighter story, while Popol Vuh I feel like is more dark because people couldn;t get man right so everything they made like the wooden dolls had to be destroyed because they would not talk back to their creator and the maker.

First post

No tengo experiencia legend literatura en español pero tengo mucho experiencia leyendo literatura en inglés. Sólo me gusta leyendo literatura con un arugmento actrativo, de lo contrario muy difícil concentrarse en la literatura and it is like pulling teeth for me to get the assignment finished. I hope that I can better my vocabulary in the Spanish language with in class discussions and while reading the literature assigned. I fear that my lack of vocabulary knowledge in Spanish will badly reflect on my understanding of the literature given.
