Sunday

On Sunday i had one of my Church friends come over and eat. So i had to clean the house really early in the morning. I was tired but i guess it was worth it. My friend came over ate some menudo that my mom made, i didnt eat it because i dont like it. She hung out with my brother because she likes him but my brother doesnt like her, its sad. Anyways later on that day my cousins came over and invited me to go to the Dallas World Aquarium, i would get in free because my aunt has a membership card. So i went and i got to see many fish and birds who i wanted to set free cuz i dont like seeing animals caged up for entertainment. But anyway i got to see flamingos, a panther, and a cheeta. I liked the panther the best, it was black and really big. The bird that i like is called a Macaw. I have one its blue (a real one) the one i saw was red, i was telling my cousin that i was gonna get that one next. Anyways this is what i did on sunday.Hope you wern't too bored.

Hi

How many of you are high off life? Hopefuly that's all your high on. Anyways so how did TAKS testing go? For me it was pretty boring because we could not do anything but sit there and be quiet. Only until 2 something could we talk. The only day that i liked was Tuesday because i got to get out of my boring class and go to the class right accross so i could supposedly watch a movie but instead i was talking to my friend who says she's a wild monkey to my liking, oh and Bogar too. We were making jokes and talking and we were pretty much entertained until we had to leave to 3rd pd. So yea that was pretty much my good TAKS day. But what i think is stupid is that they made us come on friday at 2:00. What was the point, we could of come in the morning for at least an hour or not come at all. Doesn't matter i still had fun on that day because i got to go to Church ( Iglesia de Dios 7o Dia ) its located on Melbourn St. I got to teach little kids from ages 7-9 from 6pm to 9:30pm. And i got to see people that i hadn't seen in 5yrs because i moved from my previous church to the one i am in now. I know i hadn't seen this one guy for about 2yrs, but i didnt get to talk to him then because it was at his grandmothers funeral. Anyways i've known him since i was 5 yrs old and the last time he saw me i was 10. When i started talking to him that day he said he didnt recognize me because i didn't look the same as i did when i was 10. Even his mom said she didn't recognize me anymore. Anyways i asked him when he was coming back and he and his mother said that they would come once in a while. What was so good of that day was that i got to see an old friend slash crush. Well now that you know what happened on friday you can leave me alone. Just Kiding.

O Brother Where Art Thou

Sorry i couldn't blog sooner. My computer is crazy this is my second time writing this. Uh i hate that i have to write what i had already writen over.

Ulysses - Odysseus
Ulysses is the main character in the movie, his wife is going to get married to anohter man. Ulysses tries to get home but there is always something that stops him.

The man with the Shades - Posideon
The man with the shades is shown with fire reflected in his sunglasses. Its ironic becasue Posideon was the lord of the water. The man with the shades keeps impeading Ulysses to get home.

Ulysses wife - Penelopeia
Ulysses wife is about to get married to another man until Ulysses comes along and stops her. She told her daughter that he was hit by a train even though she kinda knew where he was.

3 girls - Sirens
The girls are the sirens because they sing and they seduce the men. Its funny that they thought that the girls turned that guy into a toad.

The blind guy - Homer
the bling guy is Homer becsause Homer was said to be blind. Also because he made Ulysses and the other guys famous. He told their story and made their song famous. The sogy bottom boys were very famous.

Thats all i have to say. Sorry Mr. Locke, I didn't get to blog sooner. I know, no excusses. My computer crashed and today i was gonna publish my first try at blogging but i dont know what happened it didnt publish it so im doing it again. i hope it publishes this one.

The Odyssey

So i thought that the book was great. I liked that in chapter XIX, Odysseus was dressed up as a beggar and was in his house and Penelopeia told the nurse to wash Odysseus feet not knowing who he was. " All this passed through the mind of Odysseus, as the old nurse touched him with the palm of her hand and felt the scar. She knew him." (222) " Both joy and sorrow filled her heart, the tears rose in her eyes, her voice chocked." (222) I like that after so many years the nurse still remembers him because of the scar.

I feel sorry for Penelopeia because she has been alone for twenty years and has had to keep herself together, while having men in the house who keep eating your food everyday.That is why the contest of the bow comes in, the leader of the sooters thought it was easy but it wasn't and he was the first to die. " Then he let fly the arrow right at Aninoos." (243) So Odysseus killed him the arrow which hit him in the throught.

Then later after that came the battle in the hall, Odyssus killed everyone except for two men. Then he hung the women that conspired against him, he said it looked like " trushes or doves caught in a net when they come to roost in the bushes." (252)

In the end Odysseus and his wife get together and Penelopeia test him to be sure it is really him. The test of the bed. Odysseus says " It would be difficult to move my bed for the best workman, unless god himself should come down and move it. I made it myself, and no one else touyched it. There was a strong young olive tree in full leef growing in an enclosure,the trunk as a thick pillar....." (257)

I liked the book and hope we get to read another one similar to it. Bye.
