lesson reflection

The lesson I would like to reflect on is when we learned about "Sylla and Charibdus". This lesson was very interesting in many ways. It was very fictional and it was gory. That is my favorite lesson.

The Odyssey, Telemachus's View



In the epic of the Odyssey I decided to write about Telemachus and his point of view in the end of the story. From Telemachus’s point of view in the Odyssey he is enraged with fury about all of his mother’s suitors in his and his mother’s home making a mess and trying to take his father’s place as king. Knowing he can’t do anything about having them there in his home because it is against the law he has to bottle it all up inside. Then he is also very sad in this epic because he hasn’t seen his father in 22 years. He had sent himself out to different place in search of his father but had no luck in finding him. Many of the people in the village thought they would never see him again, and that he would be killed. But he gets home safe and Odysseus greats him and they make a plan to kill all the suitors, Telemachus gets to let out his anger and kill some of the men that invaded his home and tried to take his father’s place as king. Once he had his father back he is happier than ever after not seeing him in 22 years.

class expectations

The class expectaions for Mr. Parson's G period class are living up  to the expectations from my view point. Even though I have only been in his class for about 4 weeks now, I have noticed the class is obeying almost all the class expectations. Mr. Parsons is keeping his half of the class expectations that he said he would do. But sometimes he just give alittle bit to much work.
