Cunning and Courage — a Reflection of the Odyssey Meet difficulty with courage. Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, is a determined, cunning young man with much courage. He lives in his fathers castle, with his mother and the troublesome suitors. The suitors are like our challenges in life. They live... Continue reading

Great story Justin. Being alone out in the ocean would be quite dramatic and i too probably would’ve tackled my friend if he started asking stupid questions. You were detailed and used a good long quote about your thoughts while being sucked out. Nice job!

Aiden, this story was quite relatable. E very summer my family and i go to Greece and there are many great days for cliff jumping into the clear blue water. I can definetly relate to being called into something like a rope swing. You were detailed, descriptive, and did a great job on your story.

Great story Luke. Your opening brought me back to the early covid days which while wasn’t a great time for me, it was cool to relive the memories in my mind. I also relate with your 1v1 against Eli. There are constantly dares and threats when playing against a brother. Great job Luke!

Justin, you used some good strategy7 in your wfiting such as bringing me up, then slamming g me down. However, as a person who plays many sports, i disagree, especially as i can bring up some sports that require more skill and mental toughness. Nice job though

Aiden, i agree with your topic, but not all of your points or your quote. Yes, college should be more accesible to all children, however, i disagree with your quote especially. You did use lots of qoutes which shopwes you care abou6 this topic. Nice job.

Thomas, Although i already agreed with you, your introduction really sold me into believing everything you said and persuaded me completely. It was full of action, and most importantly a consequence of defunding the police. Great job.
Your essay, jack, was peculiar. It is a topic we never have discussed before, and obviously has a lot of information. You backed up your claims with facts and qoutes. Good job

Pete while you got straight to the qoutes and facts, there are still questions to be asked. Such as does someone working a lift really deserve lots of money? I think that is more of a lifestyle thing, if someone wants to do better for themselves, they should go out and try, not settle for working a chairlift, or sweeping a hallway.

Amir, good job. You had lots of factual information in your essay and you asked some very good questions. “Equity or Equality.” Its funny though, how we punish people who are better off simply because they are better off. Many people who now argue for progressive tax rate believe e in equality, but its funny because clearly they dont’t. Good job amir.

Luke, while your writing is persuasive, it still hasnt completely persuaded me. Perhaps this is because I’ve written an essay about this before; however, your use of parallel structure is quite strong, and you don’t have a weak point in your essay. Good job

While you haven’t performed yet, i am confident you will do well. I like the pieced you choose and its hidden meanings. Great job on finding them too. This is a powerful poem. Great job on your selection and reflection/analysis.

Nice job Matt. While short, your poem was powerful in its own way. It is very interesting that you weren’t allowed to do this poem in past years, it really makes me wonder. Anyways you did well reciting. You were confident, not too quick on your second attempt, and we’re very understandable. Great job.

Amazing job Parker, you chose a long, meaningful poem with many lessons in it. Not only did you pick a hard poem, but you also recited it to what seemed to be perfection. Great job.

Nice job Justin, it seem as as if you found a great poem with actual meaning. You did very well reciting this too, you have reason to be proud of yourself.

Great job with your poem Aiden. You did well speaking clearly and calmly. It’s great that you were able to learn a lesson from your poem.

Great job Thomas. It’s great that you were able to find a poem you love to recite for an assignment. You also did a great job memorizing and while speaking quickly, you looked confident and genuinely happy to be reciting your poem.

Great job Jack, you memorized and presented your poem confidently and clearly. I feel the same way about WWFenn too.

Nice job Pete. You chose a hard piece to memorize, yet you still performed it well in class. It was great that you could associate this poem with a thing you love: skiing.

Amir, you were extremely clear and had great diction throughout your video. You also had a great choice for your piece. You seem to have chose this piece because it actual meant something to you. Great job?
