Read the following passage taken from reports that Cortés wrote to Spanish King Charles V: This noble city contains many fine an

d magnificent houses; which may be accounted for from the fact, that all the nobility of the country, who are the vassals of Moctezuma, have houses in the city, in which they reside a certain part of the year; and besides, there are numerous wealthy citizens who also possess fine houses. All these persons, in addition to the large and spacious apartments for ordinary purposes, have others, both upper and lower, that contain conservatories of flowers. Along one of the causeways that lead into the city are laid two pipes, constructed of masonry, each of which is two paces in width, and about five feet in height. An abundant supply of excellent water, forming a volume equal in bulk to the human body, is conveyed by one of these pipes, and distributed about the city, where it is used by the inhabitants for drinking and other purposes. The other pipe, in the meantime, is kept empty until the former requires to be cleansed, when the water is let into it and continues to be used till the cleansing is finished. As the water is necessarily carried over bridges on account of the salt water crossing its route, reservoirs resembling canals are constructed on the bridges, through which the fresh water is conveyed. These reservoirs are of the breadth of the body of an ox, and of the same length as the bridges. The whole city is thus served with water, which they carry in canoes through all the streets for sale, taking it from the aqueduct in the following manner: the canoes pass under the bridges on which the reservoirs are placed, when men stationed above fill them with water, for which service they are paid. Based on the passage, list three characteristics of Tenochtitlan that Cortés admired.

This is due in 39 minutes pls help I'm confused
Stolb23 [73]
ANSWER:

I’m assuming you are writing about factory life? I recommend using the template provided to guide with writing this article. It also mentions that you need to include those three points (daily life, conditions, and effect on woman)… Perhaps you could write from the perspective of either a man or woman during this time period and mention the conditions (ex: like a daily/everyday routine on your life in the factory). Furthermore, to include effects on woman, I’m assuming woman had it much worse (so you can compare how your life as a “man” is different than those of “woman”).

Finally at the end, share/read aloud your article to anyone you know and get their reaction to the harsh or maybe even relatable experience to factory life/work.

Hope this helps clarify your assignment! Feel free to ask more questions if you need help.
