Book 20

Man, i could not go to sleep last night! besides the hard floor, and the cold wind, i was anxious for the fight. I am scared that not only might we not be able to beat the suitors, but i might lose my only son, and at my/Penelope's age i think he will be our last son too. A fine woman came and comforted me saying that with the gods, anything can happen.

Book 17

(Telemakhos) Today i woke up, and i have decided hat i a tired of people pushing me around. I did not go on my great journey to come back the same way i was, and i need to give a good impression on my dad. So i told everyone what to do in the morning, and went to see my mother, and my maids. When Penelope saw me she was so happy, but i remembered my plan, and told her to get dressed and pray to the gods because of my safe return. I am starting to like this way of life. As i told my dad before, he came later in the dad as a beggar, to see which of the suitors were kindhearted. Every single suitor except for Antinoos, gave him bread, and Antinoos gave him chair in the shoulder. I was so mad. My dad, although fought with his mind instead of attacking, and that is a good thing...

Book 16

Today was the happiest day of my life. Today, i saw my son for the first time in 20 years. I kept thinking about how i was going to hate parenting and all those responsibilities, but as soon as i saw him, everything else in this world went to blank. I stopped thinking about everything else but my love for my child. I had no idea that a love for a child could be so tremendous as he is to me. I now realize that i made the right choice in coming home.

Book 12

So after i left Kirke, we went out on a journey home. I don't know what i what to do, do i want to go home to my family and responsibility or should i stay out here. I know the choice is there but i really have put it far back into my mind. I am scared that t will come out and force me to choose, because honestly i don't know what i am going to do, and that is frightening. Generally people want to go home to their family but i don't think i want to...

Book 11

Yo, Odysseus here. More story time... So as Kirke told us to do, we went to the land of Death. The first person we met was one of my crewmates who had fallen off of Kirke's roof after becoming drunk. He begged me to go back and give him a proper burial. I also met some war heroes like Agamemnon, who was killed by his wife, Ajax (he didn't talk to me) who is still mad that i got Achilles' armor insted of him, and Achilles. They all ask about relative from up above, they started to swirl round and round me, and i started to freak. I mean what would you do if you had a bunch of angry ghosts swirling around you. Pretty scary! So i made a run for it, got to the ship, and sailed away.

Book 10

Odysseus again... Not really much to say, but i will tell you a story while i am online. So after the war, and before Kalypso, you know that i battled a cyclops, but there is another big thing that happened. So we landed on this island, i stayed on the boat, but some of my shipmates went exploring. Turns out, they find a cottage, in which, a witch lives (tongue twister). Everyone except for one person goes inside, and they get trapped by her spell. The one man who didn't go in went back to get me. I decided that i was going to go and get my men back! On the way there, i was stopped by Hermes, who gave me advice. So i walked a little further and found her cottage. I went inside and found her, she was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. I see now why my men were able to be trapped by her. So, i talked to her, she tried to entrance me, i refused and stuck a sword to her throat, and she agreed to let my men go.

Book 9

So i told the king who i was. As most of you out there know it is a pretty interesting story. Aside from being in a war that lasted for like 20 years, i have raided villages, almost taken captive by natives who's main weapon is powerful fruit. So i had to tie down some of my entranced shipmates so they would leave the island. Then of course the Cyclops. For all the people out there that don't know this story, i will tell it now. Well so we were hungry so we went into this cyclops' cave to find food, turns out we get trapped by him. Which requires us to find a way to get out. So, one thing leads to another, and there is Polyphemus lying on the ground blinded, and we are riding underneath his rams to the outdoors. I know, crazy right. Well we got to the ship and i decided to taunt our "host" a bit. Turns out the "host" who i was taunting can throw bolders half the size of our ship. Yep, so he throws one, almost hits the boat (luckily he is blind) and we get a little splashed. My crewmates freak out and say "oh it was a tital-wave and tell me to stop taunting. So i did, and only when i was far enough away did i taunt more, and told him my name, which came back to bit me later.
