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.
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.
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.
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
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.

Fight For Your Hood
My old neighborhood is Camden and to me I believe it is worth fighting for and I say that for many different reasons. My first reason way I say it worth fighting for is because even though is a bad neighborhood it could have been worst.
It could have been like in Compton, California they are able to walk around with a gun during the day time and even in the mall, but in Camden you can’t do that. It also could have been so bad that you wouldn’t have been able to walk around during the day let alone at night. It also could have been so bad that little kids could be getting locked up. Even tho my old neighborhood is know for drugs, guns, fights, gangs, deaths and robberies it still not as bad as people think it is. That way I say it bad but its worth fighting for.

To me I believe it was both of there fault odysseys and his hardheaded, non disciplined crew for many different reasons. I believe it was odysseys fault because he didn’t train his crew to follow his orders. I say that because if he would have done that they wouldn’t have opened the bag of wind from Aeolus the god of wind. So by saying that it makes me think if his crew would have listened you him they wouldn’t have touch the bag of wind from Aeolus. Then 9x out of 10 they probably would have had got home safely instead of there ship getting sunk by Poseidon the god of the sea. That’s why I say that it was both of there fault instead of blaming one of them because truthfully it was both of there faults.

They Tragity of The Bag of Wind
Hey fellow bloggers, I believe that the accident with the bag of wind is both of their faults 's Odysseus and his crew's fault . I say that because Aeolus the god of wind and he helped out Odysseus by using his power of wind he gave Odysseus a bag full with wind to send him home.But with that bag of wind that Aeolus have gave him also came with direct orders to open the bag as soon as they can see Ithaca which is the home of Odysseus's and his crew's family.But instead his crew think that the god have givin him a bag of richies such as silver and gold so they curiosity has sent them back to Aeolia when they was just right next to home.But by them being hard headed and opened the bag of wind from Aeolusthey asr back to were they stated from.But on top of that if Odysseus would have told his crew the plan and what was in the bag maybe they would have been on here way home.Thats why i think that it is both of there fault not just one of theirs.
