What I Want to Write in my LRJs.

Sometimes on days when I've had little sleep, and we have to write and analyze in class, I go a little crazy. I always end up having to redo the work, or at least change it a quite a bit because what I've written is just...not something I'd ever turn in.

So for today, the LRJ questions were: What are the strengths of Odysseus? What are his weaknesses? How are his trials improving his character?
I start out normal. "Odysseus is smart; he managed to think of a way to get them out of the cave, and in a short amount of time...He has too much pride however..." And then, I started to run out of things to say, and this appears: "Also, he seems to have some issues with the ladies - they all want a piece of the O-Dog! I mean, Circe AND Calypso? A sorceress and a goddess? Both beautiful? I present to you, the world's first Mary Sue!


His trials are teaching him his weaknesses - he now knows that shouting "Nah-na nah-na boo boo, I tricked you! I'm amazing! I'm Odysseus and I'm awesome SUCKER!" is not a good idea (in fact, it's a HORRIBLE idea. Where's your amazing ability to come up with good plans gone Odysseus? I mean, you came up with the Trojan horse for crying out loud - I know everyone has their off days, but come ON.)
Also: Odysseus has problems with listening.

And then I drew a flamingo.

ps. A note: Anyone in my class may remember when I compared Agamemnon to a child. Well you know what? I think they're all children. Agamemnon is all spiteful, going, "Well, if I can't have the truck, you can't have it either!" and Achilles is also spiteful, saying, "Mommy, make the other boys cry because they took my toy!" and Odysseus is sitting there taunting the giant, like, "Ha ha, you can't get me! Ha ha you're stuuuuuupid!" He might as well be thumbing his nose at the cyclops!
