I don't understand what is the difference between the use of the Model property in the current challenge and in a challenge in the past (Using Strongly Typed Views). I don't understand why we used "Model.Characters" before and now we use "Model".
Would using "Model.DisplayText" work here as well? @foreach (var text in Model.DisplayText) { <li>@DisplayText </li> }
======================
The old challenge looked like this : @model Treehouse.Models.VideoGame @{ ViewBag.PageTitle .... } ... <div> <ul> @foreach (var character in Model.Characters) { <li>@character </li> } </ul> </div>
========================= The current challenge
@model Treehouse.Models.VideoGame[] @{ ViewBag.PageTitle .... } ... <div> <ul> @foreach (var videoGame in Model) { <li>@videoGame.DisplayText </li> } </ul> </div>

Challenges are quite likely unrelated.
The tasks in a multi-task challenge will be related and build on each other, but the challenges themselves may not have anything in common.
Also, when using strongly typed views, what "Model" represents will depend on the "@model" declaration at the top of the view file. And this declaration must match what the controller passes to the view.
