cool

i just got done with this book. it was awsome. my favorite part is when the greeks took over troy and set it on fire. i would recomend this to people who like war. i have never heard of the city troy until i read this book. i had no idea that troy was a real city.

the high kings embassy

the Trojans pushed the Greeks almost back to the black ships. Athene was determined to stop the battle that day. she told hector that he should end the day with a single combat challenge. so the Greeks sent out their champion of their own choice. Menelaus stepped up to the challenge. but his brother would not allow it. so Ajax took his spot after a drawing out of the helmet. nobody won so there army's stepped in and took their guys back. in the battle. both soldiers lost their swords so the battle was ceased.

blackships before troy

The chapter Red Rain is about red blood raining from the sky. the blood from the battlefield is raining down on the remaining soldiers. there are spear warriors, bowman and slingers on the wing. as the one troop rain through the corn field to attack the other group came an attacked also. then the battle began. horses without drivers ran wildly. Agamemnon took a spear to the arm. he fell down and he was heart. his warriors closed in on him in a heartbeat and he was up.

I chose this book because.....

I chose Black Ships Before Troy because the summary on the back was a very interesting summary. It sounds like i will be interested in it. I have heard about the city named Troy before. I think I will be interested in the ancient world of Olympus. I like the character named Achilles. His mom dipped in immortal water when he was young. It covered everything except his heel.
