CHILE By: Alec Mason Logeman
Animals • Alpacas – its scientific name is Lama Pacos • Degu – its front leg has an unusually long finger • Quique – sprays predators with his anus (like a skunk)
Photos • #1: picture of Santiago, Chile’s capital. • #2: picture of the Andes Mountains in Chile • #3: picture of the destruction after the earthquake
Authors • Isabel Allende – The House of the Spirits, a novel • Pablo Neruda – Crepusculario, collection of poems • Gabriela Mistral – Desolaciόn, a novel
Government • Chile has a representative democratic republic, which is just like us! Or the U.S. Either way it works! • This means they elect someone who is both head of state and head of government. • They have three branches of government as well. • Their legal system is civil law-based.
Cities • SANITAGO! THE CAPITAL! • Concepcion, which Alec giggled at. • Antofagasta, which is also a sweet name.
Culture • Many foods are influenced by Spanish cuisine. • Soccer is the national sport, very popular. • Polka is the national dance. Sometimes Alec listens to polka alone.
Tourists • EASTER ISLAND! Which has very large heads. Like Alec-sized. • Lake Villarica, close to the Villarica volcano. BOOM! • San Marcos Cathedral, designed by Gustav Eiffel. The Eiffel Tower dude.
