essay planning (code duran emporer mocktesuma and falls of kaaterskill…

- - - - emporer mocktesum II, ninth aztec ruler, emporer of aztec empire since 1502, land of 10,000,000 mesoamerican indians, is predicting what is going to happen in future to his empire
        
        he is observing a comet "blazing across daytime sky" for a whole year, narrow at the tip and wide at the base, an omen percieved by him to represent the colapse of his empire and end of his rule.
      - falls of kaaterskill- the native is in danger in present tense because his homeland is being destroyed and he is also seen very high up in the image, thomas cole represents him as being in danger, the figure does not seem aware of the danger of the fall
        
        he does not appear to be there for any specific reason, hes holding a bow and arrow but there is no one around him and his culture is not represented because his people are not in the picture, hes just standing there looking across the river, in the land he was born
  - - - he created an alternate view for upper class british people rather than 'bloodthirsty savage'
    - - it is the aztecs destiny to rule the world but after the world is concoured according to prophecy of deity quetsalcoatl, the feathered serpant promised to return to valley of mexicoon the year of the 'one reed' the same year of the comet and the year his empire was lost
      - the spanish people began
    - - the emporers is standing on a platform, perhaps a platform that isnt very big compared to the huge comet and does not look very stable
  - - - especially kaaterskill he is being pushed out of his land
        
        there is no one supporting them
      - the emporer makes the house look small
- - - - both have adapted to the frozen landscape and have a culture that ties in with the landscape and weather conditions
