1. Cortes' motives to write about Tenochtitlan is very political in nature. Cortes is known to be a conquistador and it is in his great interests to have some form of power in this discovery. Seeing how wealthy Tenochtitlan is, he is awed and impressed at all the rare sights. He wrote embellished letters about Tenochtitlan to Charles the V to encourage the kingdom to conquer this great Aztec empire and probably provide him a very suitable rank or position as its discoverer.

2. He chose to write topics about food, houses, shops, and temples because it is what became prominent to him when he visited. These are the sights that he wants to enthrall the king with.

3. Ultimately, Cortes' intended audience is the King. King Charles the V is the one he wants to reach through his letters in high hopes that the king will be moved to conquer the Aztec empire of Tenochtitlan.

zhenek [66]

Answer:   People have no control over whether they go to heaven or hell.

Explanation:   Puritanism was created at the end of the 16th century and in the 17th century by the English Protestants during Queen Elizabeth I. Namely, they believed that the church reform was not complete in terms of church practice. Their beliefs and principles were based on simplified and regulated church laws and forms of worship. They were strict in terms of morality, advocated the censoring of moral beliefs, they were called upon to reform the Anglican church, and that by their moral examples to challenge  those who remained in the English, to change their sinful ways and patterns. They believed that God created with them a sort of agreement, as with their chosen people, and that they lived in harmony with the scriptures and the Bible. As such, they believed that they should give an example to others, with their strict moral laws, simple life and simple doctrines of worship, thus encouraging others to be saved because people are basically sinful beings.
