Yesterday I was walking home from my friends house in the other country. While walking home I heard people coming from up behind me. The men then grabbed me and took me to the place where they hold all of the slaves. When we got there they told me that I was here because I had not paid my taxes in 5 days. In the Mayan society if you did not pay your taxes you were put into slavery.
The next day I was put to work. I was ordered to my new master. his name was Luis Marshal. He began to talk to me about how it works to be a slave with him. He said that I would have it easy because i was with him. He was one of the top dogs. The only way that he would make it easier for me is if I obeyed orders and did my work. He also told me that I was lucky that I was not born into slavery because then i would never know what it was like to be free because he doesn't let none of his slaves go. He also told me that because I was once a noble that he could use me for a lot of things. Being that only nobles and priests knew how to read he made my life much easier. For the rest of my life I would be a slave.
