I don't care for heights or roller-coasters. Some people tell me that I'm not the best driver (ahem). I don't have a favorite color, food, or animal... I could never narrow it done to just one. I need more self discipline and motivation in my life. If I had to choose between writing a paper and solving a math problem, I'd usually choose math, though I don't dislike English or writing. I am a blonde at heart. Sometimes I wonder if I act like a "blonde" simply because I'm living up (or down) to the stereotype. I am generally not the most eloquent speaker, and that bothers me. The number one love of my life is God and I thank him for all that I have been granted. I love my friends and my family as well.
So, has anyone read The Odyssey? Any deep and meaningful thoughts, connections, reflections, or ideas would be greatly appreciated! I like the book very much but I can't just come up with stuff on my own; I need to talk it over (like in class) which is kinda not going to happen with an online course.

Hehe. :-D I'm not quite helpful am I?
But you should borrow me that book when you are done, that's one I've only seen the Wishbone version of. (You know, the cute little talking do who jumps into books? hehe)
I remember reading it way back in like 7th grade and it being so long and is that the one where the witch lady(can't remember her name) turns the guards into animals because she is mad at them or am I thinking of something else? Well I guess I was no help either. Good luck with it. :)
You could also try Sparknotes.com, I am searching it right now and it has some detailed stuff, but I don't know if it will help. :)
Sorry hun, I read the story before it: The Illiad.
Although, I do have some recollection of Lisa and Erin making me be Odysseus in the little movie that they made for Ms. Curto's class.
And I too would like to borrow the book so I can learn the rest of the story.
Anon- yup, that's The Odyssey in a nutshell. I love the imagery of dawn's description.
Tiff- thx! I'll be done with the book by Friday if you want to borrow it
P.S. I loved Wishbone!
Chrissy- I think you're talking about Circe the goddess who enchanted men and transformed them into wolves, lions, and pigs. Thx for the sparksnotes hint!
Toshia- or should I call you Odysseus? Of course you can borrow it!
