Ugliness versus beauty the advantages of being beautiful is that you will have more friends, popular in the school the, more boys liking you, and that you may have beautiful friends. There are really no advantages to being ugly just think about it there are none. The only thing I could think of is that you can have some alone time but after a while you get lonely. I would sat a disadvantage of your girlfriend being beautiful is that other boys may hit on her when you are not around. Not saying that is a bad thing but I would not want other boys hitting on my girlfriend.

Yes, i believe in love at first sight. I think the girl has to be real special what i mean by that she has to be smart, cute, likes to have fun, and and we have to have bonded well. If they have forbidden this love maybe it is not the right girl for me. If my parent's said "I should not go with that girl." I would have to take that thought into consideration. Like I heard somebody say before "maybe you see something in her that other people don't." Besides it's my decision no theirs.

1st Period Test
Odyssey Test- Blog This!
Cut and paste each question and answer underneath the prompt.
1. What have you learned about Greek culture, values, and religion? Address the roles of women and men, honor and virtues, gods and goddesses, etc. (200 words). What I learned about Greek culture is that they are very patriotic. I have learned that they have a god for everything like Poseidon was the god of water, Helios was the god of sun, Athena the one most talked about in the movie is the goddess of wisdom, and Zeus is the king of all gods and husband of Hera. Virtues of men and women are that the women would wash clothes, knit pictures, take care of the house, and watch the children on a daily bases. Were the men would go out to war and support their country and fight just like in the odyssey. The women would stay home and the men would fight, the elders did not go and fight they would stay home with the few soldiers and women that were there. Unlike society today the women go out and work just like the men in most cases. I also learned that my culture and religion is different from their religion and culture just like the way we live.
2. What resonated with you in reading about Odysseus’ adventures? Why? (100 words). What I came to conclusions was that Odysseus really loved his country, his son, and his wife. He chose to go to war he was a real strong man that did bad things but still tried to find a way to get home. Everything that he did worked out from sleeping with girls, going to hell, and listening to what the gods told him to do. He lost all of his men sailed by himself for the next couple of years. Lost everything he had except his faith to get back to Ithaca. He and Poseidon came to an agreement and Odysseus floated back to Ithaca. He saw his wife but she did not recognize him until he shot the arrow through the rings and defeated all the suitors with his son.
3. This epic poem is dated nearly 3000 years ago, why is it still relevant? (100 words). The poem is still relevant today because it has lots of great facts and what we call a classic. It is dealing with stuff in every day life. Such as people: encouraging and being heroes. Being a hero is just not rescuing somebody it is also encouraging somebody. That is why it is still read today and it is also dealing with things in everyday life. Also from other books, that he wrote.
Short Answers-
Answer in complete sentences. Cut and paste each question and answer underneath the prompt.
4. How would you characterize the narrator, the fictive "Homer" whose voice we imagine as singing the verses of the Odyssey? I would characterize him as a man who liked the Greek history especially the gods. People do not know if he is real or not. They say he was a blind man who wrote books one of them, which I am reading, called the Odyssey.
5. What kinds of behavior are treated as contemptible in the Odyssey? When the suitors were over King Odysseus house they fought, drank, ate sloppy, and hardly took showers.
6. How does the poem represent mortal women? Since Penelope is the most important woman in the Odyssey, what qualities does she possess, and how does she respond to the troubles she faces? (Some of the other women are of note, too-Eurycleia the serving woman, the faithless maidservants, Nausicaa the Phaeacian princess, and Helen of Sparta, Menelaus' queen, whose elopement with Prince Paris sparked the Trojan War.) It represents mortal women because it has Penelope and her servants they grow up and die unlike the goddesses which are alive forever. She was faithful to her husband even with the men trying to get with her. So she is tempted but never did anything.
7.How do Homer's gods think and behave? How do their actions and motivations differ from the conception of god in other religions of which you have knowledge? What role do the Homeric gods play in human affairs, and what is the responsibility of humans with respect to those gods? Some of the gods want to keep Odysseus on their island and others want to help him. They have lots of gods in which some gods want to keep him but my god would not want to keep him he would want to help him.

When I rated myself from under twenty-one to over sixty points I got a fifty-one. It basically said that I am very quick on my feet, even though I am not always the right answer, I really thought that this would have suited me the best. I see myself as exciting, a leader, bold and adventurous, and someone who will try something new once. I love being around people and seeing and making them laugh. I could not picture myself quite, cranky, or something similar to those. The survey really works.

Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro similarities are very easy to pick out because they are both written by Miyazaki a Japanese director. Other similariies are he uses bright colors and the same sound effects in both of the movies. He likes cars or buses shaped like trains. The in the movie have lots of the same chareteristics; they sound alike, dress and look alike they also did the same things.
The creatures that he used always made sounds and never talked they also helped the main charecter out. He always had weird looking creatures who did weird things. At the end of the movie the main charecter would do something to make the movie end safe or well.

When I die I want to be a sleep. I want to die a peaceful death not a bad one like to burn in fire, to drown, to be mald by a dog or something of those natures. I do not want to feel anything when I die.
My obsessive compulsive things are when a tag on a my shirt keeps on scratching or itching me on my back I have to rip it out I just can't tuck it back into my shirt. Another one is if I have a new pair of shoes on and if I scratched them up I have to try and get the spot off them. If I can't get the spot off them I don't really care for them snymore. So if I scratch them again I won't make an attempt to clean them.

I am in the ninth grade playing baseball for the Bulldogs. I am taking Literature, Algerbra 1A, Physical Science, and Family& Consumer Science. We are playing in the championship fall baseball game against Druid Hills High School. We lost to them four times out of the season. We have never beat them but it is all going to change on 10/8/06. We will beat them when it really counts.
