Dear dairy,
Now that our country is split in two and we don't have a lot of money and food, I'm very sad. I'm hungry and I need money! I stay home a lot more now and never really see my friends. Mom isn't in the mood to teach me new things since she's worried about daddy fighting in the revolution. I'm worried about him too but I pray everyone night for him to be safe. I try to be the same and not be active in the rebellion, and keep my opinions to myself. Everyone around me doesn't act the same anymore though, they don't talk as much and look worried out of their minds. I don't sleep as much anymore either, neither does mom. We stay up together drinking tea until we eventually fall asleep. I hope things get better in time, I don't want to live like this much longer. I would like to go back to seeing my friends all the time and daddy being home so mom will be happy again. Hopefully it will as change soon.

Hero Analysis
In this book by Homer, there is a main character, Odysseus. He portrays odysseus as a hero that is
emasculated but still brave and strong. Homer creates sympathy for odysseus through Poseidon's
violent storm attack. Homer makes odysseus prove himself a strong and courageous hero with alot of
great power. Odysseus is not only portraded as brave, strong and powerful but also as strategist.
Odysseus has many herioc qualities such as, bravery, patience and intelligence. He is also a loyal,
maybe not to his wife but to his family and country. But just like every other hero he has some bad
unherioc qualities such as, deceitful, trickster, and sometimes excessive pride. But odysses is an
overall good hero.
These flaws that he has affect his journey is various ways. His excessive pride makes the gods
become angry with him. The gods then create major obsticles for him to make his journey harder for
him to go through.
Odysseus is an not an overall ideal hero during his journey. One reason is because in the end he
realizes that a man is nothing without the Gods, he learned a valuable lesson but heros dont need to
be taught a lesson, they should be teaching other people lessons. He has too much pride and thats
why his journey was made so difficult for him.
