Helen and her war starting.

Authors Note: I wrote a text analysis short response on 2 stories.

In the original story, "Trojan Horse" , one of the characters, Helen, was starting the Trojan War.  In the modern Version of "Trojan horse", Helen was flirting wit Paris.  This started a war.  Many things in the original seem to be true but in the remake, they're just stupid.  In the remake, they are also starting this war for fun.

Some of the things that are different are; Helen was not a valley girl in the original, and in the remake she was a total boy crazy valley girl.  Another thing that is different is they did this war for fun in the modern version, in the original it was serious.  Personally, I think that it was a good remake, because I like the more modern stories that us teenagers can connect to.

Stolen, Abused, Hurt.

 Authors Note: I wrote a Piece for my conflict and resolution goal, Enjoy(:

When People have problems in life, they are usually conflicts.  Some people don’t know how to resolve their problems.  The main character in Stolen,  by Lucy Christopher  was Having a pretty good life, until this man, Ty, kidnapped her and conflicted her life.  Ty caused conflicts by; Gemma being taken away from her family, being brought to a desert,  and being forced to love him.

When Gemma woke up and realized she had been kidnapped she first didn't mind it.  Later on, her kidnapper, Ty, forces Gemma to love him.  This caused many conflicts, for instance; Gemma refuses to love a 40 year old man and she didn't want to lose her virginity to somebody she didn't love.  Ty also separated Gemma from her family. 

Gemma looked for the best way to resolve her getting kidnapped, then she decided that she should just run. Later on, a helicopter found her stranded in the middle of a desert dehydrated, weak and beaten.  Soon they found Ty and they arrested him.  This helped resolve Gemma being kidnapped.

Even though Gemma was saved and her conflict was resolved,  the damage Ty did is permeate.  Not only does Gemma have physical damage,  but mental damage.  Gemma continues on with her life and having nightmares often about her time with Ty.
