These notes are taken from: The Deeds and Death of Patroclus from The Iliad by retold by Alfred J. Church
- So Achilles is kind of a jerk
- His buddy Patroclus wants him to join the war, but of course, he will not
- Why?
- His sense of pride. He thinks he is a big shot, and was offended by the King of Greece
- We all know that the war cannot be won without Achilles
- My first thought is to retell this story as a high school sports inspired story
- Everyone needs the QB to play, but he won't because the couch made him angry
- But IT'S THE SEMI FINALS
- And the team is gonna get DESTROYED
- So along comes the running back, trying to get the QB back.
- Anyway, Achilles just makes fun of his friend
- Patroclus apparently will die!
- Will Achilles kill him?
- Well he randomly decides to join in the battle
- The trojans are gathering around and the greeks are starting to lose
- So, in football game time, it's the last quarter!
- Um, Achilles wants all the glory--screw his friend basically
- Fire starts
- Another team just scored another goal! They need the QB
- Now Achilles is on!!
- He calls his buddies and he is ready
- For my story, I'm definitely making Achilles a QB. He's the hot shot of the school and thinks that he's a baddie. He's really just OK, but he has a big head
- His friends need him to join the semifinal game, but he's too busy being petty. In the end, he joins the game and tries to defeat the TROJANs
