Worth Fighting For
My neighborhood is worth fighting for. I live in Somerdale and its a very nice little town. I like my neighbors, the location, the atmosphere and the enviorment. I would never want to live anywhere else. I know there are other places in the world that are a lot worse then where I live. My neighborhood is not the most riches nor do I have a fancy house, but Its where I grew up and I would never want to leave all those memories behind. Being in my house i can think of at least 100 memories that i would not want to forget living somewhere else. My town, neighborhood, and house is worth fighting for.

Odysseus Is A Good Leader
I beleive odysseus is a very good leader and its his men holding him back from returning home sooner then he could have. When Odysseus goes to the underworld to speak with Tireases, He tells him not to harm the cattle of helios. When they get to the island, a bad storm hits for a month and all their food is ruined by the rain. While Odysseus is asleep, his hungry men kill one cattle and eat it. Helios is very angry and curses them. I think Odysseus' men should have never disobeyed him. I also beleive that his men are half the reason that it is taking them so long to get home. His men should just trust and beleive what Odysseus says because he is still their king no matter where they are or how bad they dont like his rules. He outsmarts the cyclops, while any other leader would have just killed him when the cyclops first came home. Then they would have rotted away in the cyclops cave. Odysseus also did everything he can to keep his men alive as long as they did, his men shouldnt have lived any longer then they did. Odysseus men didnt listen to him and I beleive thats what they get for disobeying their king. Odyssues is brave, strong, and very wise. He is everything thing a good leader should be and more.

Odysseus' Men are Undisciplined
Odysseus' Men are Undisciplined
Aeolus is the God of the winds who gave Odysseus a bag of all the winds that would throw him off course, giving him a straight route back to Eithica. As soon as Odysseus recieved the bag of winds he quickly got on his boat and started traveling home, ordering his men not to open the bag. The curiousity got the best of Odysseus' men and eventually opened the bag, blowing them all the way on Circes Island. In my opinion it is Odysseus' men fault. I beleive this because Odysseus is their king and protecter, what he says shouldnt be questioned or gone against. Odysseus is a brave, intellegent, and a strong warrior not only that he is their king. His men should have never doubted their king and went against his order. Odysseus knows what he is doing and he shouldnt have to explain anything to his men. I think Odysseus' men really crossed the line when they opened the bag. By doing this it shows Odysseus that they cant be trusted and is going to take them a lot longer to get home then it would have if they never opened the bag.
