Movie Cyclops and book cyclops

There are many differences between the movie and the actual book story, and that includes the odyssey. The first difference is that the story is much longer than the movie. Odyssesius stay 2 days in the Cyclops cave, but in the movie they only stay there for about 10 minutes. Another difference is that six people are eaten by the cyclops in the book. However, only two people are eaten in the movie. Also, there was nothing about flute or any instruments in the book. However, there was music performed when the cyclop drank the wine. In the book, the spear that they use to blind the cyclops was lighted with fire. In the movie, no fire at all. When the people ran outside, all of them are supposed to hide under the ram without being detected by the cyclops. However, they didn't hide under the ram, one person was eaten, and the cyclops chased them until he reaches the shore, which is completelly different than the book.

What makes a Hero?

I don't think it is hard to become a hero. The common point about being a hero is that they all help people without asking any pay back from them. That means as long as you volunteer yourself for community service or whatever work, I think you can be considered as hero. The fictional heros I can think of are bat man, iron man, super man, spider man, and kick-ass. I don't see many heros in real life now, but I think some of the U.S presidents could be considered as hero, such as Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. I don't think it is necessary for heros to have super powers or agile body. A hero just needs to be unselfish and brave. Like Abraham Lincoln, he wasn't selfish, and he was brave enough to speak for the slaves. I don't really know about heros from various cultures, but I guess a particular American culture will be a guy with a cloak.

decieving place

 A lot of places were being decorated into different appearances during war time. This is the example I've heard in Mr.Wahlgren's history class. After Pearl Harbor, the United States government was afraided that the Japanese air force would bomb the American mainland just like what they did in Hawaii. Because of that, they had covered up all the air planes, factories, or any other military bases with canvas. If the Japanese were trying to bomb the factories or airplanes on the American mainland, they would just see empty land, and they wouldn't be able to find the targets. Even though Japan never got any chance to invade United States, I guessed the American government was pretty smart to use this kind of tactics to trick the Japanese.

Appearance can be decieving

People judge people by their appearance a lot, which really pisses me many times. A lot of times during PE class, some people automatically thinks that I suck at sports. Most of them think me that way because I don't look like an outgoing person or I look like a nerd. However, the truth was that I am not a nerd, and I am not bad at sports. This is why I hate PE class ( I like to exercise, but not having class with certain people). A lot of times people can be decieved by the appearance. One example will be a wallet I bought from MRT. It looks very nice, but the zipper was broken after I use it for about three days. I was so frustrated by that. I think people got misled by appearance because humans don't tend to understand things in details. When they see something that seems good, they will think that thing is good even though they don't know much about it. People can overcome this bad habit by being more cautious and curious towards things they see.
