As Troy Falls

                There was a part in the book of Aeneid, were Aeneas tells a true story about the city he was born and lived with. Troy, was an ancient city which was built by the Trojans, who were against the Greeks. the fall of the city begins upon the entering of the "Trojan Horse" which they knew that it was only a gift, and a symbol of peace between the Greeks and Trojans. But hundreds of warriors go out the belly of it and attacked the city. Troy, was destroyed and conquered by the Greeks, but the Trojans who survived the surprised attack including Aeneas flee and go away safely.

                I feel sympathy in Aeneas because seeing the place from where you grew up and just being destroyed was sad and horrible. All the memories on that place, and even the famous trademarks on the place will just vanish in your own sight. Aeneas lost some of his closest friends and even his loved ones including Creusa, his wife. As a man, it would bring so much hatred and pain inside your heart, and you will think that its better to die because you have no reason to live, when you lost your wife that you loved and cared for a very long time. I also felt the feeling when Aeneas live the city, unable to protect it. You must be hating your own self for not doing anything to protect your homeland and at the same time, thinking of going back and avenge the ones you lost. 

                If Aeneas and the other Trojans will live to found Rome, my feelings will not change. I will be glad if they had found it because they have contributed in the history of Rome and see how they will live like they were in Troy.
