The readings this week I didn't find to be extremely exciting to read. However, there were certain lines which caught my attention more than others...

1 - "The divine light of madness ... shone brighter than ever."

The sentence concerned me that it would be extremely odd to hear those words describing a person in power. The term "divine light of madness" perhaps goes to say something regarding the effect that Religion had on the people of the region or perhaps just the effect that the "civil war" not really the best term to use... but the violence which had engulfed the country had really taken the toll on the people.

2 - "One way or another.. the Indian always gets it in the neck"

This sentence seems to run true for all natives of South and Latin and even North America... that whatever they tried to do... they were screwed in the end.


3 - "we soon discover that Nebaj woman are willing to sell not only their precious weavings, but also their oldest family treasures"

I am not sure if this is a sad statement about how much money was needed in the community or whether or not it was a comment about how little value was placed in anything other than the "millenial pride" as it is described.
