The Odyssey Blog 7

I have just finished book 12 of the Odyssey and i am also half way through Twilight. For this blog, i am mainly going to focus on the Odyssey because this will be my last blog on that book. The last time that i blogged, i was just finishing book 11 and a lot has happened in this final chapter that i am reading. 

In the story that Odysseus is telling the king and queen, Odysseus has continued on his voyage home to Ithaca. Before he returns, he stops to see Circe, and she tells him of all the obstacles that he will have to face before he reaches his home. On his trip home, Odysseus and his troops get into many tough obstacles but one that caused the most issues was when Zeus caused a huge storm that ruins the ship and kills all the men on the boat, except for Odysseus. Odysseus survives the huge storm and the storm moves him all the way back to the Ogygia which is Calypso's island. 

This is the end of book 12 and i saw on Mrs. Jarrett's earlier blog posts that the rest of the class didn't read books 13-24, but separate groups read one book and then picked out important parts from the reading. So, i am going to read those posts online, so that i will know what happens in books 13-24.

Now i can read Twilight! :)
