Is Odysseus a good leader ? If so, why ? If not, why not ?

Yes, he is good leader. When he went through many hardships, he always takes care of his crew. and he has a sense of responsibility. Sometimes his crew did not believe Odysseus. But it was not Odysseus's fault. I think, everybody has a selfish way of thinking. when they get into danger. That is why, his crew did not believe him. But every time Odysseus forgave them. I think he is also a generous man. Also he has social ability. When he got a strange Island, he tried to negotiate with the island owner. and he always became friends with them. And he is strong - willed about life and going back to his country. I think, Strong - willed is most important thing which leader has to have. If Odysseus does not have a strong - willed, they will not go back to their country. That is my opinion that I think about Odysseus.

Thank you.

Monkey Island.

Buddy.

1. He is a reasonable person.
2. He is a homeless person.
3. His job is to pick up the cans.

Who is Buddy.

The Monkey Island was written by Paula Fox who was the Newbery Award - winning author of The Slave Dancer. When we red the Monkey Island, we knew about Buddy. Buddy who lived in the park was a homeless person. His job was to pick up the cans. He is a reasonable person. For example, One day, buddy found a credit card, but he did not covet what belong to another. In my opinion, I see from his behavior that he is a good man and does his best about everything.

Thank you.

My LA Life

I live in the Culver city with my host family. My host mother's job is nursing. She works in the Santa Monica. So my host mother picks me up to the school twice a week. I wake up at 5:00 every morning. because between my home and the school is a pretty far. When I ride in a my host mother's car, I arrive the school almost at 7:00. From that time I usually read a book and eat a breakfast in cafeteria until my class starts. After class, I meet my friends and eat a lunch. There is nothing special on weekdays. On weekend, I go to somewhere. This weekend, I went to the LA downtown. It was good. There were so many people and shopping malls. Actually, I was in Boston. I feel so different between the LA and Boston. These days, I try to adapt myself to new circumstances.

Thank you.
