The Hero Follows a Road of Trials

     Odysseus and his men had just left Siren island, and began their journeys towards Scylla and Charybdis. When the Odysseus' men hear the sound of Charybdis, they dropped their oars because they are really scared. Odysseus commands his men to pick up the oars and continue to row. Odysseus tells his men that they have to keep rowing so they can get past Scylla and Charybdis. The men can now see the bottom of Charybdis, and they obey Odysseus by continuing to row. As they pass, Scylla snatches six of Odysseus' men, and devours them. Odysseus and his men row the rest of the way past Scylla and Charybdis without anymore problems.
     For most of the school year I've always gone to bed at eleven thirty or twelve. Everyday I was tired, and complained a lot. My mom was tired of me staying up because it kept her up as well. That is when she made a rule that, every minute I was out of bed would count for an hour of chores. Since I didn't want hours of chores I went to bed at ten every night. I wasn't so tired anymore, and some of the other goals I needed to work on became easier. I didn't procrastinate as much because I knew I had less time to do my homework before bed time. Overall it made me a better, happier person.
