Odyssey

64-87
Odysseus is making his way
to hishome town to see his wife. On his way he has to go through one of two paths one is between two clifs that have rock constantly falling, and the other path is alsobetween two clifs, but it has a wirlpool on one side and a monster with six heads on the other side. Odysseus chose the path on the right with is the monster infested one.
now Odysseus is on the island of the sun god the priest told him to tell his men not to harm one of the sun god's life stock or they would die. His men disowbeid him so Odysseus is all alone.
I am looking forward to finding out what happens to Odysseus and if he gets home.
odysseus drifted back to the monster's layer. and the sea monster eat his raft so Odysseus waited for the monster to spit the raft. Then he padled back to the island of the sun god.
he found a godess that let him stay in her cave. He relized that this was a nice looking cave and he fell asleep.
to be continued

odysseus is a strong, wise, strict man he is also a strong leader, great fighter, and a gental kind of guy. His main goal is to deffete the suitors. sometimes was
happier than a torrnado in a traler park. He is strong like a
charging bull. He is strong old and hairy. he likes food and disslikes suitors. he carries a bow and he wears a blue tunic and golden arrmor. his greatiest sterigth is archury his greatest wekness is the fate of loosing his familly.his favorite hang out is ithaca.
This book was written by Marry Pope Osborne. the setting is in a little city called Ithaca.The main charachter is Odysseus.
In this time some 20 years after the trojan war. An average man would sit at home
and hope that he wouldn't get drafted.
the main character is Odysseus. Two
actions or reson that make him the man is that the story mainly is about him that's a givin,
another reson is that he does a lot of heroic stuffs.
In conclusion I liked this book because of the fighting, a great story line and a little twist.I would recomend this book to someone else because it has a great story
line and it is pretty interesting.
