Odyssey Writing Assignment

A theme that i see through all of the books we read is to always stay true to your leader and when you dont bad things will be upon you, but if you stay true you will be fine. This theme apllies to all of the books but in different examples and senarairios.

Through every book the crew listens to odysseus and avoid alot of danger because of it. In book 12 odysseus tells the crew to put beeswax in thier ears so they are not tempted by the mermaids and so the ship dosent crash. They dont listen to odysseues when he says not to touch the sun gods cattle and the crew disobey him and are all killed by the sun god except odysseus."Sun god keep shiny down on the world, as for the guilty ones ill hit the racing ship with a white-hot bolt of lightning and tear them into splinters" pg 283 414-418

This theme apllies in other senerios for other books also. After Odyesseus goes missing everyone but his wife and a few friends become traitors. They give up hope that Odysseus is still alive and they take his house and wealth, and they use it and destroy it. Then Odysseus takes revenge with his son on the Suitors and other traitors by locking them in the room and killing them all. " Destruction is clear for each and every suitor; not a soul escapes his death and doom" pg 408   628-629

Whoever stayed true to Odysseus, out of the very few who did, were fine and lived to see him regain his kingdom. His wife Penelope, son Tellemicus and very few freinds stay true but everyone else is killed. They never gave up hope and beleived in Odysseus even when everyone else did not and encoureged them to give up on him too. Odysseus tests everyones loyalty by being disguised as a beggar. "Off you go to bed. Ill stay here behind and test the women, test your mother." pg 391   47-48

Joe Mauer

Joe Mauer needs to step up as the team leader for his team the Minnesota Twins. Joe is by far the best player on the Twins now that Justin Morneau is out for the rest of the season. He has many MVP's, Batting Titles and has a huge fan base. He even got more All-star votes than Kirby Puckett. He is such a modest person that he does not want to brag that he is the best player by being the leader of the team. He has the second highest salary on the Twins just behind Justin Morneau because he is so good and valued. Joe Mauer is the best, highest payed player playing on the Twins right now and that is why he shoulod take leadership of the team and help them through the playoffs.

Barefoot bandit hero story. Carl Schwappach and Peter Hussian

The journey starts when Colton Harris-Moore is born. He is born into a troubled family with an alchoholic mother and his father leaves when Colton is two years old. His step father is addicted to drugs and eventually overdoses and dies. We would consider this to be a special birth. When Colton meets "Harley Davidson Ironwing," he learns how to break into houses very stealthily. We think that he is Colton's supernatural guide. He crosses into the threshold when he first starts to steal things with his friend, Harley. His test/ordeals are when finds his way into stealing people's property and he must do that succesfully to be able steal bigger things like boats or planes. Once he becomes a regular thief by stealing material objects, he is now into the bellly of the whale because he is now a complete thief. When Colt is 17, he finds the courage to steal his first plane. We think that it is an ultimate boon because that act of courage gives him the confidence to keep stealing planes and boats. He starts to get his name recognized by the public as the "Barefoot Bandit". I think that makes him a master of two worlds because he is a master of theives in his world and a master of stealth to the public and some like him for it. Colton goes down to the undeworld when he goes to the Bahamas and that is also where he has his final battle in the boat chase with the authorities. This is the final battle because that is where he is stopped. The apotheosis is when the police take him out of the underworld and he is surprisingly well liked by some of the public. The fact that some people still like him as he comes out is also an Elixir because that is his reward for going on his journey. His magic flight is when he is taken to jail and he gets to reunite with his mother. That is the journey of "The Barefoot Bandit".

Heros have to have more than one important trait. A comparison between Doug and Luke is that both of them have more than one good trait. Doug is a good friend and he saves his friend from committing suicide because he knows how to speak to him and comfort him. Luke is a good nephew because he is going to stay another year for the harvest (but his family dies) and he wants to follow in his fathers foot steps and work hard to become a jedi which shows his dedication. Both the charectors have two or more high quality traits that add to them as a person and that is what makes a good person and what a hero has to have.
