Mandela and Pericles

1.They were both heroes in there own certain way end everyone respects them for that reason and more.Steven Biko was fighting for African Americans to be equal to everyone else. The soldiers were fighting for their town just like the soldiers today fight for our country and they have so much heart and dedication and that is why they are heroes.
2.He needs to keep the memory alive because Biko dedicated his life for what he believed in and if that isn't hero quality I don't know what is.

Nice Net Movies

The person that I wrote to talked about the movie Talledaga Nights and she thought it was hilarious and she asked for any other good funny movies. I said watch the movie Wedding Crashers it is hilarious with Owen Wilson,Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrel. It is about two guys that crash weddings so they get girls. But in the long run they find out its wrong because they both find true love.

Quest Story

Now instead of some old tall tales of quest stories like we use to listen to we have movies that live up to those tales or better. One of my favorites is The Odyssey which is a classic. It is about a guy named Odyseus who traveled with his crew to go home from the Trojan war. But on the way he ran into some obsticles along the way such as most of the Greek Gods like Posiden,Athena, and Hermes just to name a few.
Odyseus sets off from Ithaca to go Fight the Trojan war in Troy. They get over to Troy fine and win. But on the way back they tend to run into some problems when Odyseus was arragent to Posiden, so when they started to sail back to Ithaca Posiden made the sea take him to the island of the Cyclops.Whom which they did outsmart and blind. Then Posidens wrath took them to a island with the god of wind who gives them a bag full of storms and the crew opens it in curiosity which blows them back to Circe's shores. Were they got turned into animals until Odyseus has sex with Circe. then she sends them into the Underworld were Odyseus seeks the blind profit Tyresius who sends them through a passage way that had scylla a man eating beast with eight heads and a typhoon in the middle of the water called Charybdis that sinks everything near it.
The vortex sunk Odyseus's ship and his men but not him and he drifted out to sea and landed on the shore of the Greek God Helios whos passion fell in love with Odyseus and made him stay for nine years then he sails home finally to Ithica.
