The Trojan War was fought between Greece and the City of Troy across the Aegean. The wife of Menelaus, Helen, prompted all the fighting. Menelaus lost her so he had to get her back through a brutal bloody war because there was no other way to get his wife back than to fight ten straight years. Different events took place involving people like Achilles, Patroclus, King Priam, Hector, and Ajax. Odysseus had an idea after years of this war to give the Achaeans a gift. He gave them what they thought was a big winning trophy to signify their loss in the war. This giants horse was wheeled into the city, along with what was inside which was many Greek soldiers, waiting to attack until nighttime. The Trojans got drunk because of the celebration and then the Greeks actually ended the war by taking over the city.
I would love to go to New Orleans. The culture down there is a lot different from what we have in Lexington KY. There is a lot more live music, and festivals. Also they have beaches around there so I could also go relax after listening to one of the many live concerts. I really just want to go hear and experience all the great jazz music and see where most of the great jazz artists get their roots.
I like how your dream journey is very unique. Most people our age would choose to travel across the globe or to some extravagant resort hotel, however yours is simply to go to new orleans. Out of everybody's, I think your dream journey is the most attainable.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very personal place to go for a journey. Many other people want to travel to a faraway, extravagant place, but you want to go somewhere that has to do with your passion for jazz music. This is much more "real" and thought-out than a lot of other people's.
