Well hello there. Happy to be back. Miserable morning, but at least I finally got my car back from the detailing shop. I don't believe I mentioned it last time; but it turns out that, after I take in my car because my friend got sick in it, one of their employees got sick as well. He didn't make it worse or anything. That would have probably made for a funnier strory though. Enough chit chat.
This chapter was AWESOME! I don't know if it was my sleep deprivation or if it was just pure awesome. But this chapter rocked. It's odd how good it was. It was really nothing but a giant, bloody game of "Who Gets to Keep Patroklos' Body." Something about it was just on point.
I think it was due to the fact that the dialogue was a little easier on my brain to comprehend. (FINALLY!) Or maybe I just glazed over with the more difficult dialogue. That's something to talk about right there. This dialoge is not easy to get through. You have to pay attention. You will be tired after just reading one chapter. For one of two reasons:
1) You were just bored. Hence you're tired from not being properly stimulated by the text. Which means that you probably glazed over without really understanding it.
2) You really did pay attention and your mind is getting used to reading this style. The structure is different form what we normally read. It's long, flowing prose as opposed to the normal short and to the point.
And for all you people who don't get tired after reading a chapter. Good for you. Go and help someone else try to get a grasp on the concepts. Either way.
In the end, Menelaos and a fellow Greek finally recover Patroklos' body. But here's the really awesome part. Antilochos has been sent to inform Achilles of his friend's demise. YAY!! Achilles should be back in the fight really soon.
This was fun. Was it good for you too? Hope so. See you later.
