My neighborhood

I live in Magnolia New Jersey. In my neighborhood there are alot of middle age and elder people living here. From exactly where I live, I live dome the street from one of the worst apartments in the town. There are alot of black people that live there that are originally from Camden. My family and I just live our lives and dont bother with them. Yes, I believe that my town is worth fightong for. It is my town, I live there, and that is where I grew up. The apartments are a big part of our problem in our town. If we cared about our town we wouldn't let these kind of people come in and make a bad name for our town.

Is odysseus is a great leader?

Yes, Odysseus is a great leader in my opinion. Firstly, he got himself and his men off of Circe's island. Secondly, he put beeswax in his mens ears so that the song that was playing wouldnt hurt them. Lastly, he sharpened Cyclops walking stick and whlie the Cyclops was sleeping he stabbed him in his eye with the stick and clinded him. Stabbing him in the eye helped the men get out of his cave. These three example makes me believe that Odysseus is a great leader, because he will do anything to help his men.

Aeolus' bag of wind

Odysseus' encounter with Aeolus was when he got the wind. Aeolus gave Odysseus the wind because it was going to make it easier for him and his men to get home to Ithica. While they were on their way home to Ithica something happened. One of Odysseus' men open the bag of wind because they thought that it was full of gold. When they opened the bag all of the wind came out and distruied the ship and the ship ended up on Circe's island. Who is to blame for the accident with the bag of wind is Odysseus' men. It was their fault because they opened it thinking that it was gold but infact to was wind that ruined everything.
