Describing Odysseus

For the first trimester of 2009 my journey book that was picked by Mr. Peters is Odysseus. It is about a man named Odysseus and he is in a big war trying to take over many countries. This has lasted for over 10 whole years. He goes through many obstacles but his goal is to make it home to his family with his wife and son. He is very Determined and strong. The only time he saw his son was when he was a little baby, 10 years have passed and now he is trying with all his strength to get his wife and son back in his arms. So far his obstacles have been finding their men in the jungle. There were men who tried to give them fruit that would take away their memory. They got out of their but only managed to get into more trouble by coming onto a land that was owned by Cyclops. These cyclops trapped them and killed two men every time they were supposed to have their normal meal. The men suffered through their friends dieing and them having their brains blown out. But in the end they found a way to get out of the cave and got their freedom by attacking the cyclops. So far those are the obstacles that have really stood out.
