Reveangeance

           When I read the part when Aeneas was retelling the events that happened which led to and during the fall of his hometown, Troy, I felt great sympathy for the hero. I imagined his feelings when he was retelling  those events. Those emotions were sadness and anger. Sadness because anyone who loses their hometown would be struck with grief since their hometown is probably where they grew up. It would also be very close to their hearts and minds. Also he would be sad because some of his closest friends and loved ones died during the fall of Troy, like King Priam. He was very, very, very sad when King Priam died because the King was like a second father to him and also a very good friend. I felt angry because I imagined that Aeneas would also be angry since he would probably want revenge and vengeance. He would also want to avenge the Trojans who lost their lives because of the Greek's deceit. 

                 My feeling did not change when I receive the knowledge that Aeneas and the surviving Trojans would help found Rome because they all lost a place which they hold very dearly in their hearts and minds. But I became happy for them because they would help found one of the greatest Empires this world has ever seen.
