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.

Highlight/ describe a noteworthy moment/part of the battle of Gettysburg.
sukhopar [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The noteworthy part of the Battle of Gettysburg would be the attempt of General Robert E. Lee's troops to get a decisive victory on Union soil. Specifically, I am talking about Antietam, when the Union army desperately needed a sound victory over the famous and feared Robert E. Lee, known to be almost infallible.

We need to have in mind that General Lee had considerable victories in battles such as the Second Bull Run and Fredericksburg. President Lincoln tried to make the impossible to support the Union army to stop Lee with the Army of the Potomac. And the responsibility fell under the arms of General George Meade, who proved to be smart and brave enough to present fierce opposition to the Confederate troops and defeated them.

The Battle of Gettysburg was a bloody battle during the Civil War. The battle was fought in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania from July 1 to July 3, 1863. Historians say that the number of casualties for the North was 23,000 and for the South, 28,000. The Union Army won the battle and it represented the beginning of the end of the Civil War.
