The story of Tenochtitlan is a city the aztecs built many moons ago in the swamp of Mexico. Tenochtitlan was built in 1325 and was very strenuous work building in the middle of a huge swamp. Many died in the process either …show more content…
from working or illness they picked up from the swamp, the swamp is a great place for illnesses to live. The city had floating roads to get to the city that they could move to slow down intruders. The city was so well built and only the best lived in the city wall an the other live on the outside in poorly built homes. The poor homes where built with straw and mud they had no windows or doors but the homes in the city where built with bricks but still didn't have any windows or doors.
In the story of Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl is a true love story that takes place in the city.
Ixta was the kings daughter and the king wouldn't let her marry and Popo was a noble warrior. One day the king fell ill and needed the warriors to fight off the enemies and whoever was the most successful could marry the kings daughter. As you might expect Popo went off to fight but 3 jealous warriors said Popo had died. This made Ixta very upset and she became ill from sadness and died. When popo arrived back home (alive) he wished to marry Ixta but when he found out why she died popo hunted down the lier’s and killed them. Then Popo took the thrown.
Both these stories took place in Tenochtitlan telling how the city was protected. In Tenochtitlan they yelled what kind of defenses where built into the city. In the story of Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl it told of a noble warrior who protected his city to marry the one he loved. These stories intertwine because Popo was trying to protect the city of Tenochtitlan.
The main difference is that one story is about and entire story and the other is about the fight to marry a girl who died at the end. The other important difference is that a city can’t go on an adventure like Popo, and a city doesn't feel love because it’s
nonliving.
The stories are about the same time period and both want to protect the city. In the story of Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl Popo wants to marry Ixta but her father won’t allow it because he has trust issues. So Popo hoes out and protects the city and in return he can marry Ixta but she dies. The city was not invaded at that time but if it did there where safety protocols just incase. So Popo ruled the city till he died.
