Games and sports were an important component of the Aztec culture. Beyond providing the Aztecs with a means of entertainment and activity, ancient Aztec games had a religious meaning and were often played as a part of their ritualistic ceremonies or during sacrifice.eyond providing the Aztecs with a means of entertainment and activity, ancient Aztec games had a religious meaning and were often played as a part of their ritualistic ceremonies or during sacrifice.
Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), whose real name is NeftalÃÂ­ Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, was born on 12 July, 1904, in the town of Parral in Chile. His father was a railway employee and his mother, who died shortly after his birth, a teacher. Some years later his father, who had then moved to the town of Temuco, remarried doÃÂ±a Trinidad Candia Malverde.
The Chilean poet Pablo Neruda was infatuated with being unusual. He would only use green pens to draft his poems, and he even gave himself his own name. His parents had chosen to call him Ricardo Eliezer Neftali Reyes y Basoalto, but Ricardo Reyes re-christened himself as Pablo Neruda as a teenager. In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Neruda said, âI did not learn from books any recipe for writing a poem.â
