Death of world's oldest person

This week I read an article on yahoo about the world’s oldest person, Edna Parker, dyeing last week. The article was inspiring really. I've always had this strange fear of becoming old and not being able to take care of myself. However, Edna lived by herself as a widow from the year 1939 until she was 100 years old and only then did she move in with her son. On top of that, she outlived both her sons and had 13 great-great-grandchildren! The article also stated that oddly that the Shelbyville nursing home she spent her final years in was also home to the world tallest living woman at 7'7". She lived to be 115 and I hope someday, when I'm old, people will look up to me like I'm sure they looked up to her as an example of how keeping an active lifestyle can preserve your body, mind, and soul for a very long time. Edna Parker is an example of human excellence and I'm glad I read this well written article about her and her life.

The Odyssey round two

The Odyssey kinda sucks the big one. Not because I don't like it, but... more because I hate it. Nawwww jkjkjk lulululululul. The Odyssey is ok by my book, get it? book,... the odysey is a book? ;) As for my real thoughts I liked all the parts that had action because people died. Also, I liked how Oddyseus killed all the suitors at the end, even the one who was like innocent and begged for mercy. I personaly liked the way the movie ended more than the movie. However I liked the book version of cercie's island more than that of the movie. Well, that's my general opinion on the Odyssey as a whole. Thanks for reading, rock on.

Oddysey

In my opinion, the Odyssey just is not a very good novel. Even though it is supposed to be history I just don’t find it believable or entertaining. Well I shouldn't say that because the idea of the story is really good however, I find the length of it and the fact that we have to skip chapters just to get through it makes it less appealing to me. The parts I have enjoyed about the Odyssey were the scene with Polyphemus because it’s funny how Odysseus tricks him into thinking his name is nobody so When Odysseus blinds Polyphemus he cries out "I've been blinded by nobody!!!" That was tight. The summaries I do enjoy It's just the real book that seems too long and drawn out. First of all they repeat the same stuff over and over again and don’t even use different adjectives. I realize that it was a long time ago and the story was so long that people zoned out a lot but I think they could have cut it down for the actually printed version at least a little. That is my basic opinion on the Odyssey.
