Finished the book

I have finally finished the book Black Ships Before Troy. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to actually get into books. This book is a very good book but in my other posts i said i couldnt understad it. I couldnt understand because when i read my mind was somewhere eles. Towards the end i actually read the book and enjoyed it. So if you like books about war, rommance, and greek mythology then this is the book for you.

Almost done

I'm so ready to be done with this book. On Tuesday we had to read as much as we can. And i still have no idea what is going on. But I am almost done so it's ok. umm they are still in the war, but i dont know whos winning. I do know that Zeus is helping the trojans because he saw Hector vomiting black blod and he knew it was his brother, Posidens fault.

Confused

ok right now i am so confused about everything that is going on. But from what i read i think the titans and trojins are at war. Paris was losing helen because she was thinking of how wrong she was. So Aphrodite takes Helen and Paris away from the war so she could change her mind. My reading grop should have chose the other book it sounded less confusing.

So far

This is what has happened so far in Blackships before Troy. Paris was born and his dad sent him to be killed because a soothsayer told him that his son would destroy his city. While out on the mountain alone the little baby was found and brought up by a herdsman. When he was grown up 3 goddesses were fighting over a golden apple and told him to choose who sould get it. He chose Aphradite and she promised him a beautiful wife. So the most beautiful maiden was married, but when Paris went to see her they fell in love, and ran away from her husband. Little did they know they started on of the biggest wars in trojien history.

New book

Today my classmates and i had to choose a book to read. We chose Blackships before troy because it sounded the most interesting out of the choices we had. Right now i think it's a greek myth, a beautiful girl is married then runs away with her trojien lover. While they are on the move her husband is planning a war on the lovers city. tell more when i know more.
