Write an essay from the perspective of one of the Nahua writers of the Florentine Codex, in the first person. The essay should explain how the Florentine Codex and other codices in “The Broken Spears” presented the true account of the Conquest of Mexico (i.e. true from the indigenous perspective,) in order to inform future generations of Nahua readers about this cataclysmic historical event, and about some aspects of Mexica culture that existed before the Conquest.

What were three central points you tried to convey through your narrative, and of the three points, what point was most important in conveying a true understanding of events?

Please provide examples from “The Broken Spears” to support your argument. Paper should be a well-organized discussion that supports a central thesis (the identification of the most important point conveyed by the Florentine Codex.) Please focus on explaining your argument about the book, instead of recounting what is in the book. Use quotes sparingly.
