My neighbourhood is very quiet. The people in there are mostly of middle class. I see people go outside on weekends and enjoy time with their family. I just moved there like two years ago and I think its pretty safe. It has a grocery store on the corner, a wal mart 5 mins walk from my place, and I live close to the bus stand too for easy transport.


I think its worth fighting for because I got my family in there and for the last two years I had been safe in there. The neighbours are good and helping too.


I think we should always keep our neighbour safe because we live there with your family and we should be grateful of where we live at.

Odysseus - A True Leader

I think Odysseus was a good leader. He saved his men lives many times. For instance leading his men out of cyclops cave by fooling the cyclops. He saved his men from the curse of Circe who turned all his men to pigs. He also risked his life by going to Hades to find a way back home to Ethica. He also planned how to save himself and his men from the Siren's sweet melody by putting bee wax on their men's ears.

Although Odysseus got his men out of trouble so many times, his men failed at the same time to follow his orders. For example he told his men not to kill any cattle in sun god Helios's island, but there was a storm in the ocean and it did not stop untill his men had it enough of starvation that they thought would rather die from god than die from hunger. Another example is his men opened the bag that had all the winds gifted from wind god Aeolus even though Odysseus warned them not to open it.

Ancient greek food




In ancient greek the fancy food could only be afforded by rich people and not common or poor people. Food and Drink was seen as a social activity, an opportunity to meet with others and discuss, listen to music, play games and spend many pleasant time.




The greek diet consisted of foods that was easily raised in the rocky terrain of greek landscape.Breakfast was eaten just after sunrise and consisted of bread dipped in wine along with olives, dried fish or cheese.


I think the ancient greek people had a pretty good idea about health because their diet consisted of olive which is very good for heart.

Odyssey's Encounter with Aeolus

Odyssey landed on Aoelus's island with his men. When confronted by Aoelus, Odyssey did not believe that he was the god of wind. But he soon found out. Odyssey explained to Aoelus his trouble so Aoelus decided to help him on his journey by giving him the winds to aid his sailboat. Everything was going well on Odyssey's journey, they can almost see their homeland from the ocean but one of the man got curious and decided to check what's in the big bag where all the winds was kept. As soon as he opened it the force of the wind pushed them all the way back.

I think it was Odyssey's fault for not being honest with his men. He should had explained to them what's in the bag so they could had known the consequences of opening the bag.
