Trojan Horse

Author's Note: This is a reflection of the short story "The Trojan Horse," adapted from Book II of The Aeneid by Virgil. In this I will talk about the main conflict and how the conflict was resolved, and I compared the story to real life situations. 

The conflict in the story was person verses person, because the Greeks and Trojans are battling against each other. The conflict was resolved when the Greeks won, by hiding in a wooden horse and then getting into Troy and taking over the city and the Trojans. The devious part of this story was how the Greeks won the war against the Trojans. They won by hiding in a wooden horse and making it look like they left and gave up, when in actuality they were hidden somewhere else and in the giant wooden horse. Then when the Trojans took the horse into their city they came out and attacked when the Trojans were least expecting it.

Something like this could happen nowadays, because people are still crazy and devious enough to try this. Also because people would do and try anything to win a battle or war, but this is also a very know trick or story so it might not be very effective nowadays. This could not happen in a school or small workplace, because of the fact that, there wouldn’t be enough room for people to build something big enough to have a lot of people fit in. Also, because there aren’t any battles at school or in a small workplace that this way of battling would be effective. I have not seen this kind of thing in any movies, shows, or books. I have heard of it before, but other than that I haven’t seen it or read about it in anything.
