My Weekend

My weekend was pretty good. On friday I went to my aunt's house to make some Tamales, man were they good. I know i know, your thinking oh my god she can cook, yes i can cook. Anyways as i was saying, we made Tamales but i didn't get to eat any of them until Saturday afternoon because i had to go to my house and clean as i normally do. On Saturday night i watched a holocaust movie in my church with some of my youth group friends. Then i went to my aunts house for a supposedly sleep over party. Even though the sleeping part came a little to soon. My aunt made us turn off the lights and go to sleep like around 11 O'clock, but of course i couldnt fall asleep. So instead of sleeping i listened to my cousins cd player until the bateries died out around 4 o'clock in the morning. Then i slept on the cold very hard floor. I woke up around ten and was sore, my ribs, my back, and my shoulders still hurt. Then i went home cleaned the house again and washed my clothes and went to the store. Then on Monday i washed my parents clothes. Watched some TV, not really because there was nothing good on until 2:00 p.m. on channel 23. My novela comes on and thats pretty much all that i watch. I know it sounds boring to you guys but this was probably the best weekend i have had in these last couple of months. I dont get out much beacause my parents wont let me go anywhere without them tagging along. So i dont go anywhere instead. Alright that was my weekend how was yours?

The Odyssey

The Odyssey is a really cool book. Its mostly about a guy named Odyssius who has fought in the Trojan War and is trying to get home. As much as he tries he fails because his men get in the way.

In chapter 9, they meet the lotus eaters, Odyssius men eat some of the lotus flowers and dont want to go home. " 'As soon as they tasted that honey-sweet fruit, they thought no more about coming back to us with news, but rather stay there, and say goodbye to home.' " (102) Then they meet a Cyclops who keeps them as prisoners but Odyssius soon thinks of a plan to escape. He finds a pole hides it in poop then heats the point if the pole and stabs the Cycloped in the eye. He then ties himself and his men under the Cyclop's sheep.

In chapter 11, Odyssius is in the Land of the Dead. He talks to dead people and his mom. He asks her how she died. " ' But do tell me, really and truly, what the cause of your death? how did you die? ' " (127) In my perspective its kinda weird to think of asking someone how they died but i think i'd ask a loved one the cause of their death too.

In chapter 12, Odyssius is with Circe and she warns him of the things he will see and what he must chose. He is warned of the sirens. He msut get his men to tie him to the ship's mast. The men must not listen to the sirens but if Odyssius asks to be let loose they msut tie him tighter. " ' Tell them that if you shout out and command them to let you loose, they must tie you tighter with a few more ropes. ' " (139) And then she warns Odyssius about two routes in which he must chose. He has to chose wether to go through a route with a monster that is sort of a whirlpool or meet a moster with six heads. Either route he will lose most of his men.So he msut chose the best one.

So far the book is pretty good. Even though sometimes i think that Odyssius men should stop being selfish and trust Odyssius and not question his commands and not go against his accions.

Hello

Hello how you all doing? So about the PSAT test how many of you are getting nervous about passing the reall one. Im pretty sure i can pass it if i try hard enough. Im sort of bummed out that my score was sort of in the middle of the hole nineth grade score. I think i could have done better if i hadn't gotten nervous. Ussually when it comes to tests i dont do very well, and its not becasue i dont know the material that im taking it on but that i get nervous and excited that it ruins my concentration. If people watch me when i take a test they will surely see that i get nervous because i start moving my feet and going through the test really quickly. My teachers ussaully tell me not to do that but i do it anyway because i cant help it. So moving on, ow many of you guys other than me like the Odyssey? I like it a lot, I've been waiting to read it, I know you may be asking why i haven't read it if i have been eager to read it, well its because i wanted to read it in class. And yet were not reading it in class but i know other people are reading it and it makes me feel like if i have a question i can ask them. (right?) Anyways i got ot go now. See you all later.

This is only being written for the ask points.
