Author's Note: I wrote this piece for my final grade. I am also trying to get a 9 in conclusion.
Helen was a Greek legend for one of the most
beautiful woman of Greece. She was so beautiful that the Trojan war
started, just to have her beauty. If you could be a goddess, would you? Why?
Just like Helen, Shay is a beautiful women in, No
Safety In Numbers by Dayna Lorentz.
In the original
story Helen is a very gorges lady but, it sounds almost as if she's not the
sharpest tool in the shed. In the play she is acting as if she is a teen. Helen
is moody and she gets what she wants. Not only is everybody fighting to win her
love, she is dating people on both
Trojan's and Spartans.
Shay is a popular girl and everyone around her
wanted to be with her. She is imprisoned in a mall, due to a bomb in the
parking garage. Once she is stuck In the mall, her grandma is getting really
sick. The boy named Ryan is very helpful.
Once they start dating all the other boys are jealous and try to win
her. This is like Helen because the guys
want her, for her beauty.
Beauty is the main
subject of Helen and Shay. When Helen
shows her self, every body wants to be around her. This is the almost
the same as the story, because when shay goes out of hiding, every guy falls in
love. The difference of the original
story is Helen doesn't seem smart , but unlike her Shay is very smart and kind.
She cares for all the people in her life.
Even thought some
parts weren't the same I prefer the book that I am reading, because I can
relate to it more, and it is more modern. Overall the stories have the same concept of being
beautiful, and everyone wants her. Shay
is smart and pretty, and Helen is mostly beautiful, but not that smart.
