Author's Note- I wrote this piece to explain why I liked the remake better and how they are different.
The Trojan Horse is an old story that is basically the Trojans and Greeks had been at war for a while against each other. Out of the blue, the Greeks decide to surrender and "leave" the Trojans land. A few days later, the Trojans notice a big wooden horse on their land, and they're told it's a gift from the Greeks. Later that night, the Greeks jump out of the wooden horse and attack the Trojans; flooding the Trojan streets with Greeks.

The
modern version was a lot different because instead of carving letters into a
piece of rock, they were texting and saying things like dude all the time. It
still has the same plot and everything with the whole story, but it's a lot
more modern and easier to understand while reading it. Another thing, is that
you really understand the characters more in the modern version. For example,
Paris looks like this really strong jock that all the girls adore, but in the
end he's just a big coward.
I
thought that the remake/modern version was really good and it definitely helped
me understand the story better. The plot stayed the same for the most part, it
was just the words like "dude" and the way they said things that
changed mostly. I think they made these changes to help students understand the
story better because reading the original version is kind of confusing.
