The Odyssey #1.5

After cooling down a bit, I realized that I got a little off topic. This time I promise to stay on topic and will rant about our flawed school system. As I said, I hate the book. There is a lot you have to know before you even start reading. You need to know about Greek Gods and the whole history of the Trojan War. Another thing that I hate is how long a this book is. Something that could be summed up in a sentence is expanded for a good two to three pages. Also I hate the amount of names that thrown around. Most of the names we hear only once and have nothing to do with the plot of the Odyssey, even though we will have to read a three page history of the character that has nothing to do with the plot because Homer must have been running out of things to talk about. Lastly I don’t understand what is taking him so long to get home. Plenty of other Trojan Warriors got home fine, but not him. If I was a general and my men were constantly causing trouble, I’d let them mutiny against me while I sail home on a passenger boat. Simple as that.
