Odysseus Qualities

            The king and a leader Odysseus has displays three good qualities throw out the movie The Odyssey. Throw the good and the bad he showed theses quality’s. The first quality is intelligent, because of his wits. The second courage, because of his will to keep going no matter what the object got in his way. The third would be conning in the story he showed this with his disguises. Throw out this essay I will farther explain his qualities.
            The first quality that Odysseus shows is intelligent. He shows this when he built the boat to get away from Calypso island. This is shown in the movie The Odyssey. He also showed this quality by waiting to see his wife. He waited, because he knew the suitors wouldn’t stop at anything to marry Penelope. You can infer this about the suitor throw the movie The Odyssey and in the play. You can also site him waiting to see his wife in the movie around 2.24:09. Odysseus shows intelligent when he made the Trojan horse to trick the warriors to lead them inside. So Odysseus and his man can attack and win the war. You can site this in the movie around 23:02.
            Courage is the second quality shown by Odysseus. He showed this quality by fighting in the Trojan War. You can find this in the movie around 14:25. He also showed this quality by going to hell alone without his crew. He did this, because he didn’t want anyone else to get hurt. Around 1:22:54 is where u can find this event. Before this happened he fought the Cyclops. This happened around 37:26.

His third and final quality is how he is conning. He showed the quality multiple times. When he made the Trojan horse he tricked the troy’s to take him and his man in their walls. This is sighted in the move at 20:21. The second time he showed this quality is when he ate the poison to trick and surprise the witch. The honey was expose to change him into an animal, but the poison so it didn’t affect him. This happened at 1:04:36. The other time he showed this was when he told his son to not use his angry until the right time. When Telemacus Odysseus son let his anger go him, and his father kill all the suitors. This happened 2:41:21in the movie.

            Odysseus showed three qualities. The first one is intelligent. shown when he built a boat. The second is when he showed courage. This happened when he fought in a war. The third is conning. This is shown then he made the Trojan horse. These are all the qualities of Odysseus.

dress code

Dress code

I’m neither against nor with the dress code, because I don’t think people get picked based on what they were something. I think they get picked on because the look week and fragile. The other reason is good because you don’t have to take ten years picking out what you have to wear. The dress code makes it easier on people in the morning. Another reason y I think dress code is not needed is because no is going to take the time out to scope u don’t to see if u got the latest Jordan’s. This is why I’m neither with nor against its balanced 

I truly don’t think that people get picked on because of what they wear. I think they get picked on because they look weak. Like the shy little kid in the back of the class room. He shows that he’s weak and they kids that think there superior pick on him. I know this because it has happen to me several of times. When a person looks weak or helpless people think you’re too scared to say something back. So that’s why I think that people don’t pick on u based on what you wear.

The up side to the dress code is that it doesn't take teen years to get dressed anymore. I takes the average person to get dressed is about an hour and a half. I think it too long to get dressed. With the dress code u take out the cloths that is required to wear. Then just get clean and put on your cloths. That’s the upside to the dress code.

No one is going to scope you down to see what you’re wearing. The only reason they would do that is unless they like you. Truly I think you shouldn’t get upset because some on says your shoes are ugly. It’s not what they feel about your shoes it’s about how you feel about your shoes. So to let something something like that get to you that's completely on you. That's why i think that no ones going to scope you own to see what your wearing.

This is why i'm nether against nor with the dress code. The reason why i'm against it is because of the bulling. The reason i'm with it is because its faster to get ready for school. The other reason i just don't think its necessary is because of what people think about bulling. so its hard for me to pick a side. So i neither with nor against the dress code.

The Raisin in the Sun

                 In the play The Raisin in the Sun there are symbols, and themes that you can’t see with the naked eye. There are two important symbols in this play. The first symbol is Asagi. The second very important symbol is the plant. Every genre has a theme, and the theme in this story makes you think about; how you treat, and think about your family. The Raisin in the sun by Lorraine Hansberry she made this play because she wanted to tell something about her life. This play wasn’t completely based on her life. 

            Asagi is the symbol of hope, love, and compassion. In The Raisin in the Sun Asagi gave Bennie hope when she was in the dumps. He sat with Bennie on the stairs and gave her a beautiful speech about how she shouldn’t give up on her dreams. When this occurred Asagi asked her to move with him back to his home town to become a doctor. This is how Asagi represents hope by giving her hope, and his students. Asagi also give hope to his students by teaching them about his culture and language.       

The plant represents the family and their struggles. Even though the plant doesn’t get a lot of fun light it stays standing. It shows the struggle of the family When the leaves on the plant weathers away. Even thought the plant looks like it about to die Lena nurtures the plant just like she does her family. Every time Lena got upset she’d took care of that plant like it was expose to repair her family. That’s how the plant represented the family and their struggle.

The overall theme of this story is to love your family, and family is more important than money. When they fought, and as Lena says wished each other was dead. Even through all that they cared for one another. In one of the scenes Ruth started to cry Walter got out of his angry manner, and try to cheer up Ruth. Another example is when Walter called Linder. He was going to take money until he saw his family face, and most importantly Travis’s. In that scene Walter got his man hood a politely told him there moving. That’s how the theme is family is important.  

The Raisin in the Sun shows symbols that are invisible to the naked eye. While you read this play it makes you think; why does the plant comes up in every other scenes. It’s because is symbolizing something. This play makes you think about the life back when a whole lot was different. Like the way they think, and how they live. The Raisin in the Sun is a play that changed people lives and they way they thought.
