The Trojan Horse Response

In the story The Trojan Horse, the main conflict was what the Trojans were going to do with a huge horse given to them as a present from their worst enemies, the Greek. Some thought to burn it, to show their God’s that they were not going to worship it. Others just thought it was a strange gift and wanted it gone right away. After the town is convinced to bring the horse into their town, unfortunately, you learn that the people who wanted to burn the horse were correct, because the horse was a distraction hiding all of the best Greek soldiers inside to attack the Trojans while they were caught by surprise.

I think things like this could actually happen nowadays. It may not necessarily mean war, but could happen in a more modern way. People have different opinions for everything and like to argue with others to get what they want. At school or work people could get into fights a lot, it maybe not exactly like the story, but very close in the sense of disagreeing. Another possibility could be a per wanting to become close to you and the next thing you know they turn their back on you, just like the story. I have seen many similar situations to the one in the story, but the one that I remember the most was on a television show. Prisoners escaped from jail by using a large object that they could all fit into, resembling to the attack of the Greeks.
