The name of the book is The Alchemist.The author's name is Paul Coelho and it's a fiction book. I really liked this book because it talked about the Alchemist's legend and it made me wonder what mine would be. Reading this book will tell you that there is alot to realise in life and more to life than just living everyday the same, you should change it up a little bit. You need to realize your goals and go for them because they might lead you to your craziest dream. I liked reading this because it also opened my mind to the many possibilities of going after your personal goals and making them happen. Also i think that somebody should read and and not burn through it fastly. Its a really good story but kind of hard to follow if the story doesn't catch your mind. If somebody burned through it and skipped around it then your missing out on a good story and it teaches you that if you don't open your eyes you could really miss something in life. That's what i think about this story and how other people should read it and what you could learn from it.

Job seeking skills
When I am 25 years old I hope to become a license barber. This is my goal for the future and i would be a good fit for this job because it is something I am interested in and will work hard at. Some of the skills I would need for this is advising people, relating to the public, operating equipment, supporting others, setting goals, taking personal responsibility, taking independent action, learning my clients heads and knowing what they like, predicting futures, tolerating interruptions, confronting other people, enduring long hours, and managing people. These are all important goals and skills I will need to have memorized to be a great barber. The biggest ones would have to be learning my client’s heads and knowing what they like. If I don’t know what my client like done to there hair then I’m not doing my job and that not far towards my clients. I will be enduring long hours working really hard so all my clients will love the way they look and feel good about them self also so if they need a cut late at night I would be there for them.

Background Music Scene
While Odysseus is on Ithaca he is disguised as a beggar and he kind of creeps and sneaks all throughout Ithaca. Well he is going around getting the gust of what is going on throughout the city. He learns about how the suitors are eating him out of house and home. Also he learns how his people treat the weak and weary.
I like this scene because it was one my most favorite of scenes to develop background music for. I really like how Odysseus kept his cool until the right moment in time. I don't know really if I can relate to this scene but I do know that I can be inspired sort of by this scene. When Odysseus and Thelmeacus both battled through the suitors to reclaim back his house, his wife, and his city that was inspiring.
For the scene that I would choose the background music to have in, would have to be while Odysseus is in Ithaca and is sneaking around all of Ithaca as a beggar. The song would be the mission impossible theme music. As he creeps all around all of Ithaca spying on his wife and the suitors and making his plot to take back his kingdom and home. But when he kills all the suitors the song would end.

Polonius, Hamlet, and Privacy
In some cases it is okay to snoop into there child's stuff only if you have suspicion of them doing something wrong. If your child is always doing what they have to do then you shouldn't have to go through there stuff to see what they are doing. In Hamlets case Polonius was wrong for taking his love letter and reading it to everyone that was his own business and non of his. He had no rite to do any of that. I can see if your child was doing something wrong that you went through there stuff like if he/she was doing drugs or they kept getting taken home from the cops. Even in Hamlet case if he kept committing murder and they were wondering if he had a “Hit list” then they should go through his stuff, but he wasn't doing anything wrong he was just in love and there is no crime in being in love. Polonius was just mad that it was his daughter. No one has a rite to go through someone else's stuff unless they have permission to do it, or they have a very good reason to do it its not fair to that person if they do it behind there back.

Torture
In Shakespeare's time people were tortured all the time. These people were tortured for many different reasons. One of the things that they used to torture the people with was called the French Rack. The French Rack, you had to lay on top of these rods that had spikes on them. You had to lay on these spiky rods naked so you could really feel the affect and the pain. This was extremely painful. The spikes would rotate and dig into your skin, which this would lead you to be in a lot of pain, and then eventually dying. You would die because the spikes would rotate into your skin and rip your skin up, and then dig into your body.
The Capital and Corporal punishment, in my eyes do not work. It is not a punishment to them; it just gets them more mad and angry. They just get into more trouble after this punishment because a lot of people do not like when they are told what to do. For an example they don't like to be told to sit in the corner, they don't like to be spanked, or being beaten, and many more reasons. I believe that if you tell someone not to do something then that is just going to make you do it even more. If you tell someone not to, then their just going to in the end.

MY favorite scene of the Odyssey
Hey fellow blogger my favorite part of the odyssey is...
My favorite scene is when Odysseus gets home from the battle of troy. Then when he gets home how Athena has changed Odysseus appearance. Then he get home and see's his son Telemachus and find out he has all these suitors in his house trying to marry his wife. Then he also notice that they won't leave disrespected him and fondled with his servants n most of all the over stayed there welcome. While all that happen Odysseus finds out his faithful wife is about to remarry to whoever can string Odysseus bow and shoot a clean arrow clear threw all 12 of the ax's holes. Then Odysseus takes the arrow n bow in do all of it after the suitor notice that they can’t. Then Odysseus n Telemachus kills the suitors and that s my favorite scene.
That my favorite scene because to me it made the movie. I also liked that scene because of all the glory and blood bursting ever where and stuff. Then it shown me on how much you could really love someone and what you would do for them so they don't leave you or betray you. That scene just like really inspired me to never give up on someone or something you love.
To me if I could attach or put in a song for the suitor being killed I would us the Rocky Balboa champion song. I say that because it would totally match perfect with that scene. It would put more glory into the suitors’ death and more ambition and power on Odysseus. That why I would choose that scene that song for it to be my favorite scene.
