Is telemachus a hero? (rewrite)

    I believe that Telemachus is a hero because he will for his entire life fight for what he believes in, he trys to find the king of ithaca so that Ithaca can go back to being a great country, he may be young but he will fight for the rights of his people and for the rights of his kingdom. An example is even when he is told that his father is dead he still does not believe and travels all over to try and find his father. He fights for his rights of his people by not letting his mother mary a suior and making sure the suitors dont try anything stupid like trying to take over Ithaca. Telemachus is a hero by searching for his father because his father is in the scariest worst places to be and telemachus still believes he is alive and still wantsd to help him. My conclusion to this is that Telemachus may e seen by many as a coward and a child but in my mind telemachus is a true genuine hero.

Is Odysseus a Hero? (rewrite)

Is Odysseus a Hero?
By: Michael Boarman
          I think that Odysseus is a hero because instead of being cruel to his crew he is kind and cares for his crew like a hero should. An example of how Odysseus is a hero is that he when on calypsos’ island doesn’t try to take over but try’s to live like the people and join the people so that they can flourish with each other.  He does this because he knows that these people saved him from the ocean and helped regain health and stature. Odysseus is a hero because he fights for the rights of his people and he is a great fighter who does what is right. He fights for the rights of his people by going to war to increase the wealth and the health of his people. He fights for his peoples rights by sending the people who caused the suffering away. My conclusion for this topic is that Odysseus is a hero because he has a kind heart and fights for the rights of his kingdom and for the rights of his people. Odysseus is a true and honorable hero.
        I think that Odysseus is a hero because he is strong, he fights for his rights, and works all day long to serve his people. An example is that throughout the book Odysseus does everything to get back home to help his people. He does this because he works all day long and is a strong ruler and he knows that others are trying to take away what he put hard work and sweat into making. He fights for his rights by fighting against the suitors who stole what was rightfully his. He is strong and a hard worker because he spends his day by not thinking about himself, but what he can do for his kingdom and his people. My conclusion is that Odysseus is a strong, a fighter, and a hard worker is because he has the while and the stride to do what others cant and goes where others can never go.

He fights for the rights of his people by going to war to increase the wealth and the health of his people.

The review of the article read in school about Joe Mauer

        I believe that Joe Mauer should not be just the sail because if only one person is controlling the boat and doing everything then you're just going to get lost in the middle of no where. What the Twins need is teamwork, Hard work, and Spirit.
The reason why the Twins need teamwork is because if Joe Mauer is doing everything then no one else can do anything and u are putting way to much power and responsibility in someones hands. If you spend more time with your pitchers then they can be working harder and start pitching better.
        I know the Twins are working very hard, but not enough. The Twins really want Joe Mauer to do really good in these few post season games, but he is already good. What they need to start focusing on the fielders and pitching. You cant put the teams work o one single person you are going to loose. If the Twins would stop worrying os much on Joe Mauer and his hitting because thats only half the game. To stop the other team from winning you need good pitching and the Twins do not have that.
       The Twins are acting like if they didn't have Joe they wouldn't win any game. Well they are wrong, if they just keep their spirits up and focus on other players and teamwork then they will do fine. Joe Mauer shouldn't be the sail he should be the first-mate an the coach should be  the captain. Joe Mauer should act like a leader, but not have to do everything for the team because like last night they'l loose!!
