Home

My neighborhood is full of annoying old people, but the houses and the developements are beautiful. My neighborhood is definately worth fighting for. Not for the people though, mainly for the land. The energy is very calm in the air and their are people doing their own things minding their business. I wouldnt want that taken away and the thought of that would drive me to fight. We owe it to everybody that fights for their land, because they have the heart and the bravery to risk their lives for the better of their community.

Odysseus' leadership

Odysseus is a good leader at times because he is loyal to his crew, and understands how to work with what you want to get. In chapter 10 Odysseus recieves a bag of wind from Aeolus (God of Wind) to help his crew get to Ithica. His crew gets to nosey and open the bag which throws them off course badly. I believe that is Odysseus' fault for not letting them know what was in the bag. This shows that sometimes Odysseus is not loyal to his crew and that is a small sign of bad leadership. Other than that Odysseus is a very reliable leader.

Aeolus's bag of wind

Odysseus' encounter with Aeolus was very helpful to his men. They recieved a bag of wind from Aeolus (God of Wind) that had all the winds in the sky in it, but the Westerly winds to help them reach Ithica. While Odysseus was resting his eyes, his men decided to open it, which released the winds that would have been in their way, which soon blew them off track. Odysseus wakes immediately to try and stop the bag but it is to late. They are now shipwrecked on the complete opposite side of the ocean. Is the accident Odysseus' fault or his mens? It is more Odysseus' fault then the men, even though they should have respected his orders and left it alone. If Odysseus told them a lie about what was in there to shut them up, they would have made it. If the men would have been patient they would have made it too. Odysseus was definately to blame for the accident. He should have never let his guard down, because instead of being home with his family they are now stranded on an island with a witch who turns his men into animals. Odysseus and his men are in a sticky situation now.
