Directions: Assume the role of a servant at the Palace of Versailles. Your task is to write a letter to a friend describing the
magnificent splendor of the French court and your personal feelings about the wealth and power of Louis XIV. TELL ME WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT THE PALACE. TELL ME WHAT YOU DON’T LIKE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK OR LIVE IN A PLACE LIKE VERSAILLES AND WHY?
Dear, friend It is amazing here at the magnificent splendor of the French court. The most potent symbol of the King’s absolute power. The people are very wealthy here. They welcomed me here in a very respectful manner. It's amazing literally. The palace was just to show off to the people and show how much control he had over the economy and what he could do with the money. He is really a very nice man.. I wish you could be here with me right now, I still can't believe that i'm here. I like the way they are so organized and polite. I just don't like how they show off every time some one new comes in. I feel like it is not need to do the extra. Everyone knows your wealthy and to class. I would love to work here or live here, the workers here are nice and sweet. They know what you like even before you tell them it's great.
