My Neighborhood
I would fight for my neighborhood. It's because I lived there my whole life. Alot of thngs happened there when i was young. I learned how to ride a bike on my street. I met my first friends on my block. I feel more comfortable at my house than any other place. It's because im so used to it. It would be worth fighting for because I was raised there. When i walk out my house i would miss my room because i got a comfty bed that i always lay on. But my block is always quiet and peacefull. All the people are friendly and helpfull. So I would fight for them.

The Bag of Wind
Odysseus’s men were the reason for the situation. They were sailing and landed on a island. They went to go investigate and instead they found Aeolous. Aeolous was the god of the wind, he took the all the wind except the western wind and he put it in a bag. Odysseus had the bag. While they were on the ship Odysseus was sleeping on the boat while his men opened the bag. I think they believe that Odysseus is hiding something from them. So they are curious to see if it's gold or something. There was nothing but wind in the bag. The wind was suppose to blow them straight home. One of Odysseus men tries to stop them but it was too late and the bag gets opened. While the ship is moving all over the place, Odysseus wakens. He finds out that they’re in a totally different place. They were so close and they could see the island Ithica. Odysseus and his men deserve the blame for this. The men should have had trust in Odysseus, their leader. It was also Odysseus fault to. He should of never left the bag unprotected and should of paid close attention to it.
