Columbus had made a place myth by calling it a "Sleepy Border Town."

Although some million of the estimated million documentsfound inside have been individually sorted and processed, others remain in thesorry state that awaited Cifuentes.

What Cifuentes’s curiosity brought to light is a veritable cabinet of atroci-ties, a log of the activities of the National Police not as agents of public security butas the instruments of state terror.
what the author has brought to light is also a damaging knowledge and gives people a good and bad sense of mind of what has been going on in the back.
The ArchivoHistórico de la Policia Nacional (ahpn) is the outcome of Cifuentes’s chance find,its documents indicating the reverse of what one might expect: that an entity re-sponsible for investigating crimes was instead geared to committing them. As sick-ening as they are incriminating, the teeming contents of the ahpn are unlikely,given the impunity that prevails in Guatemala, to bring little more than tokenjustice to the perpetrators of among the most heinous abuses of human rights in allof Latin America.

Topic sentences (usually the first sentences of each paragraph) are miniature arguments. Important topic sentences function as subpoints in the larger argument.
At each begining sentence on a paragraph is a topic sentence weather it be the main argument or an argument leading to the main argument.
The most important thing to understand about a piece of scholarly writing is its argument. Arguments have three components: the problem, the solution, and the evidence.
You cannot just read it and explain that it is important but rather how it is important and what can possibly happen should you do it this way.
