Achievments of Mesoamericans

I am a commoner in the Inca empire.I have to go out and find things to bring back.I haven't been finding a lot of things so I am behind on my rent.Right now I am in debt.If I don't pay it back I will become a slave.If I become a slave I could get sacrificed.I can't get sacrificed if do who knows what will happen to my family!I don't know what I am gonna do but whatever it is I have to do it fast!
I have 1 week to pay it.Everyone in my family and a couple of friends are helping me.I even so I don't think I am gonna make it.II still do have a plan B.If I don't get enough money I am going to run away with my family.I just need to figure out how.When 1 week past I still didn't have enough money.So at night we went to the city walls to escape but they were already waiting for us there.Someone had told on us.When was about to get sacrificed the Spanish attacked.
At the time I didn't know what was happening but I knew it was my only chance to get out of here.I went home looking for my family.When I got there I so my wife lying on the ground with a bullet in her head.I knew that there was no time to morn for her loss.I got my kids and left.We ran to my parents to see if I could still save them but it was to late.They were both dead.I got my dads sword and headed for a secret path.We finally got there but there were to Spanish there.I knew I had to save my kids.I went behind a wall and then attacked them.Since I got them by surprise I was able to kill one easily.But the other one stabbed me in the shoulder.When he was about to kill me my son stabbed him in the back and killed him.When were finally about to escape someone stabbed me I knew I had to kill or else he would kill my kids.With the last bits of my strength I cut his head off.Before I died I told my oldest son to take care of his sisters and to tell my story to everyone he met.

My Life as a Peasant

  Life as a farmer is hard.We have to do most of the work to feed everyone.I have to go to war in a couple of months.Everyone relies on us to go to war build temples and all sorts of things.We have to work very hard and if we don't we can get sacrificed.None of us know how to read or right only the nobles do.We near the bottom of the social structure and yet we do mostly everything.
   But we do get rewards.When we build a temple we would sometimes get invited to royal weddings .I still really hate being a peasant if I were to be the ruler I would change how we get treated and everyone can learn to read.Also not only we would have to go to war.Well wish me luck and hope that I survive.
