Daisy Simental. The Odyssey

Odysseus had to sacrifce his family and risk his life to save Troy and to keep his people safe. He went to war to protect his kingdom because he was not ready and wil never be ready tog ive up without a fight. He did it to keep Troy and all who lived there in one piece. (sacrifice)
He trusted his men witht he bag of wind athat the goddess had given him for his return to Troy. But The men disobeyed his orders of not opening the bag and their curiosity made them break the trust Odysseus had for them. Which effectd in a huge strom which made them father than ever from their home land and made it more diffcult to get home safe and in time. Friends are a big part of life if you actully pull your walls down and let them in. Trust the people around you that had made an effort to show there are there for you and that they love you in a sense. In war the person next to you, fighting, must be very close to you...almost like a borther for there for they will fight for you and their people with teeth and nail because they care bout you. (Trustworthy)
Odysseus had to leave his wife and kid when he left to war for Troy. And through all the years that past he stayed very loyal to her. Even thought he had the most gorgouse goddess was putting herself out there for him tellin him to stay with her and never return home. But he remained with the thoughts of his presious wife in his head. When you fall for some one and you fall in love with that person they stay on your mind even when sometimes you wish they didn't. Even if someone more beautiful might come along nothing can compare to your first love and the things they did to make you happy. Beauty will come and go as you age and there will always be a girl or guy who looks better than the one you are with. But people fight the temptation toleave the one they love because they have their eyes fully open and see that they only want one person and beauty has nothing to do with it. The people who cheat and play games are in a childish stage in their mind and need to grow up, if they cant see whats right in front of them they why should you stay waiting? 'Cause one you get in that point in your life and mind that you can see through the hair and make up and really look into their eyes and see them for who they are, thats love. And when he retured to his wife, she like him, had stayed faithful to their love. (Love)
Over coming a fear and learing to cope with what you are given and relizing you need to have courge to over come the battle you are faced with. In the land of the dead Odysseus face something very real his own death. He had to see his destiny and knowing he could not change any of it that he saw. He had to over come the fear of death and deal with the fate that life had handed to him. He had to be able to cope with seeing that. And he did. (Fear)
Sometimes you must do things other people who might look into your world might think you are so crazy but in your mind you have a logica reason for it. He had to come home and find out that many of his men he ahd trusted had betrayed him on his time away from home. mMany tired to seduce his wife but his wife stayed faithful to him. But as for the men, he had to take care of them and make an example of showing that that behavior will not be exceptable inhis kingdom. He killed all the men that had betrayed him while he was gone by cutting off their head. He returned home to his wife and his child that he had not seen since he had left to war ten years ago. From that time he had grown very much since his leaving. He came back, and began to rule his kingdom that he had fought for so long for. (Ruthless)
