Finished the book!

Finally I finished the book, Blackships before Troy. The Greece won and got Helen back in the end. Of course this was all posible because of the Trojan horse of woodyness. LOTS of the main peoples died though. This is the long list: Hector- Paris' brother died from Achilles, Patroclus- Achilles friend died from Hector, Achilles died from Paris' arrow (he has a really good shot at the ankle of course), and finally Paris died from a poisoned arrow from Philoctetes a character the Greece left on an island until the gods told them to get him back. In the end the Greece took over the empire of Troy!

What is this blog about?

Well I started this blog for my Mastery class at school.
First I have to blog about this story we're reading in a literally
group. I might blog about some other random stuff though. There will also be
things about certain books I've read so if you want to get into a new book or series
you can always see if I have something good.

Next few chapters

We just read some more chapters of Blackships before Troy.
The war has gotten very bloody. The Greece people, (the ones fighting the Troy) just slain six people at night, so Zues didn't like that, sohe made it rain red water the next
day, over the Greece people. In the last few things I forgot about one person that could be a main character from the Greek side. His name is Achilles, and from certain things from his childhood, he is acually immortal expect for one of his heels. He left though because the Greek's High King was being mean to him.

the ebay song...and more

Just to type something new and different I'm going to talk about some really
awesome songs that i like. The first one is new to me (I just found it), it's called the ebay song, the things the person singing are totally useless. Then there's the fast food song. (chorus-a pizza hut a pizza hut kentucky fried chicken and a pizza x2 mcdonalds mcdonalds kentucky fried chinken and a pizza hut x2) Next is cereal and milk, such a simple song. Last is the badger song, it might be kind of anoying to some people though. mushrooms!!!!!!

More about the book.

Okay, the guy who went of with the girl is called Paris, and the girl is called Helen. She's also the person that's on the cover. The war is still going, and neither side is backing down. This war will take a while!

Blackships before Troy


We just started to read this book, and so far it's okay... The thing that's


bothering me is the lack of details. (I guess that's how you can say it.)


The long timeline, (maybe around 15 years already passed) and the many names, make following kind of hard. There was already a war, and it lasted for 11 years! (I don't think it even ended yet.) The war was started by a prince from Troy that stole a princess of another country, that was already married, and even though they both loved each other the husband, that was also the king, didn't like it at all and declared war.

I also have a picture of the cover over to the left.
( I think we're on page 23)

The book my group chose...

The book we chose was the one about greek mythology.
The one about Blackships. It seems pretty interesting. There's probably going to be some great battles. It's a fantasy book so that's more fun. (some of the anime/manga I watch/read have mythology in it so that's even better!)
