Mezoamerica:Aztecs

Dear journal,
Today was a horrible day because I watched them carry my best friend to be sacrificed.I begged them to pick someone else...but they just pushed me to the side.They just pushed me like I wasn't even there.I started to cry but quickly stopped before I was whipped for not working.

I sit here and dream about the life of luxury I used to have.I know what am I doing here!Well long story short I didn't pay my fees for two months.I begged for more time but they didn't want to here it.So now here I am doing  slave labor for the rest of my life.Or at least until I'm sacrifired or die of dehydration.

Well I better get to bed because we have to build this huge temple tomorrow.

I am a slave.It is very hard for me because I do not have the freedom I wish I had.I do hard labor every day.I am owned by someone in the class higher then me.We are at the bottom of the social class.

Some times we are born in to slavery.If you are a free person you can become a slave.If you were in a higher class of slaves you "got" to be sacrificed.Also if your owner died you were sacrificed.
