Circe analysis
I think that for circe to go back to her own land and turn things into swine is kind of cruel because that it like her home town and she's supposed to do thing to help it not harm it it. I Also think turning things into swine can be a good thing because when doing things like fighting enemies you can turn them into swine and use that to her advantage .Something I learned was powers has negatives just as much as it has its positives -

Analysis of Aeolus -Bag of wind
I think that for Odysseus men to open the bag even
though Odysseus told them not to shows that they aren'tstrong willed and they don't take orders. I think thatbecause they opened the bag thinking that gold andsilver was inside in the bag, but they still went behindtheir leaders orders to do so. I learned that Odysseus isa true leader because even after his men open the bagand caused them to kind of fly away he still put his menbefore him and had a plan to get thing done for his team. -

In the Odyssey Aeolus gave Odysseus a unfavorable wind and a bag in which the unfavourable winds were confined. Odysseus' companions opened the bag eventhough Odysseus had told them no to.

Syclla and Charybids Analysis
I think that odysseus had made a bad order. I think this because he told his mento avoid Charybdis which made them pass scylla which used them to die. I fell like he put his crew in danger when they avoided because it led to them dying and him being stranded on a raft .The this I learned that sometimes odysseus makes the right decision but doesn't.

I think that nobody was able to shoot a bow and arrow like odysseus which is why Penelope announced that should marry the person who did make the shot .While odysseus had a long absence ,suitors took up the residence in Odysseus home and vied for Penelope hand in marriage because of her being attractive and possessing great wealth.Something that I learned was odysseus had killed the suitors and Athena had joined some they can end the battle -

I think that odysseus stupid up and did something that a true leader would do .He know about the woman of the sea who trick men into shipwrecking their boats . He told them to tie hime down and ignore anything he se say.To me this means that he is going to try and stop the women. From this I learned odysseus can really step up and be eater when his crew need him the most. -

Helios’ cattle analysis
I think that Helios was angry and wanted some kind of revenge . I say that because he sent Zeus and some other gods to punish Odysseus and his crew. I also think that odysseus was not prepared for what was going to happen because usually if you know something bad is going to happen you would try to avoidd it or fight back .I learned that you have ti be prepared all times because you never know what is going to happen -

The other Greeks appeared to sail for home, leaving behind only the horse and Sinon, who deceitfully persuaded the Trojans, despite the warnings of Cassandra and Laocoön, to take the horse within the city walls.

cyclops analysis
I think that for odysseus to travel to the land or cyclops they must not be worried about the cyclops harming them.I think that because If you know that someone like the cyclops are dangerous ,and will eat you then you will usually try yo avoid them .However,that was not the case with odysseus .From the Cyclops chapter I learned that you should not fear anything ,but you should embrace it with a positive and confident mindset.I learned this because odysseus didn'tshow fear but positivity. -
