home sweet home

I live in the town Somerdale. Somerdale is a nice town that has its rough parts. On one side you can see nice house's with nice lawns and good families but then there’s the side that your always seeing police riding up and down the streets, people out side just causing trouble, and the people that don't care how there houses look to others so they just trash there house and make the town look terrible. If i had to say i would say that i live right in between those parts. I like my town but not enough worth fighting for, especially since more then half the neighborhood wouldn't do it for them selves let alone me. I would fight for my own house and I wouldn't give it up for anything, not because it's a nice house or that i have nice things inside but because of all the sacrifices that my family has made to get this far. With split parents its hard for one person to take care of two kids and have more than one job, but she has to do it to make our lives worth living and making sure there’s food and a roof over our heads every night. For that i would fight for my home.

Is Odesseus a good leader?

Odesseus is a good leader since he is so smart and such a good warrior at the same time. All of his men could have made him better but they were unloyal at some times. When Aeolious gave Odesseus the bag of wind Odesseus didn't tell his men what was in the bag. All of the crew wanted to see for them selves what was in there and ended up taking them even farther away from where they needed to be. He is also a good leader because he is experienced from all the battles he had fought in Troy. Odesseus is not the type to single anyone out and treats everyone equal which makes him a leader to like. If you mess up and screw him over he will then take action and make sure you get the right punishment.

Odysseus and his men were sailing and landed on an island. Odysseus went to go investigate and found Aeolus. Aeolus was the god of wind and took all the wind except the western wind and put it in a bag. This way the wind would blow them straight home. When Odysseus got back to the boat he didn’t tell any one what was in the bag and all his men thought that he was trying to hide something good from them like gold. So when Odysseus fell asleep all his men were trying to open the bag and when they did all the wind blew out and shot them off course. They were so close that they could see there home Ithica.
I think that this was all of Odysseus’ men's fault. They should have had some trust in there leader and not have went behind his back and tried to open his bag. Odysseus should have told them what was in there but at the same time his men shouldn't have tried to go behind his back. Odysseus said he would show them when they got home. They just got impatient and went and opened up the bag.
