MY NEiGhBORhOOd

In today's post:*Explain what your neighborhood looks like and what it's like to live there. *Provide details.*Discuss wether or not it's worth fighting for....If it is explain why.... ...If it isn't, answer this question: Should we make things better at home? Do we owe it to anybody to make things better?If you can, include a picture to go along with your post

My neighborhood looks like a normal subherb place to live. Lots of houses, stores, and cars. Most people are friendly , but not all. We have deer, bunnys, cows, horses, and sheep around my house. It's okay to live here , but not alot of excitement but its fun. Sometimes it gets very boring and there's nothing to do, but you just call up a friend and take a long hike if you don't have a car ! I'm not sure if i would fight for my town, being that i don't like it here. I rather live in a more exciting place, with lots more to do. Things that could improve the neighorhood , would be more stores for jobs, moving the stores closer to the house , making more sidewalks for the people that walk , creating a place outside when it rains, things of that nature could help alot. Making it what the community and the people of the community need , being that they have to live there. We owe it to the people that own the community , and also the people that live in the community to make it better.

Aeolus and Odysseus

The topic: Describe Odysseus' encounter with Aeolus and the situation leading up to the accident involving Aeolus's bag of wind. Who is to blame for the accident -Odysseus or his men? Explain.

Odysseus' encounter with Aeolus was very unusal for us ,but very common to Odysseus and his men. Aeolus is known to be the god of the west winds. Being that he is the god of the west winds, he gathered up all of the wind and put it in a canvas for Odysseus to make his travel home easier. Aeolus intructed Odysseus to keep the winds inside of the canvas, until he reached his destinantion. Odysseus and his men stopped to take a nap. While napping, Odysseus men got curious about the canvas and opened it. All of the wind began to pore out, and Odysseus and his men were blown all the way back passed Circe island. I believe Odysseus and his men are to blame for this accident. I blame Odysseus , because he should've warned his men not to open up the canvas, and I blame Odysseus men because it wasn't their canvas to open.
