Ch. 11:

In "Scylla and Charybdis," Ulysses knows from his venture into Tartarus that he must pass through the strait of Scylla and Charybdis on his way to Thrinacia. Charybdis was once a beautiful naiad and the daughter of Poseidon. She angered Zeus by claiming much land for her father, and Zeus changes her into a monster in the form of a whirlpool. Scylla was also once a beautiful naiad, but when Poseidon fell in love with her, Amphitrite's jealousy led her to turn Scylla into a monster resembling a large spider which uses its tentacles to capture and eat sailors within her reach. Ulysses prepares to pass through the strait, knowing that the ship cannot swerve a foot away from its exact course. He turns the helm over to Eurylochus and arms himself at the starboard rail. He knows that the ship has no chance against Charybdis and must veer toward Scylla if necessary. The Hellenes row carefully, but Charybdis seizes two of their oars and drags the ship toward her nearly causing Ulysses to fall overboard. Correcting their course, the Hellenes cause the ship to veer toward Scylla who quickly grabs six sailors. Ulysses assists the crew in rowing as he sees six members of his crew being eaten and hears their screams; there is no time to weep as they pass through the strait and approach Thrinacia.

Ch. 12

In "Cattle of the Sun," Ulysses drops anchor near Thrinacia before calling a counsel with Eurylochus and Perimedes to remind them of Teiresias' warning about the sun-cattle. Ulysses proposes seeking another island, but Eurylochus and Perimedes persuade him to land since both the crew and their provisions are exhausted. Ulysses agrees but holds Eurylochus and Perimedes responsible for the safety of the sun-cattle. After landing, the crew hunts but can only find a few wild pigs though there is plenty of water. Ulysses decides to leave because the scarcity of game could prove too great a temptation to eat the sun-cattle. Unfortunately, a storm prevents the Hellenes' departure for thirty days, stranding them on Thrinacia. While Ulysses sleeps, Eurylochus gathers the men and suggests eating the sun-cattle, claiming that it is better to incur the gods' wrath than to starve. The men kill and cook several of the sun-cattle after offering a sacrifice. Ulysses awakes to the smell of food and pleads with the gods as he realizes what has happened.

Unfortunately, at the same time, Hyperion requesst vengeance from Zeus which Zeus grants. Ulysses draws his sword against Eurylochus, but Eurylochus claims that they hunted stags so Ulysses eats until the carcasses begin to low and resemble the sun-cattle. Again Ulysses draws his sword against Eurylochus who points out that the winds have changed and claims that it is a sign that the gods are no longer angry. The Hellenes sail, but then the sky darkens. The west wind destroys the ship and all of the Hellenes except Ulysses who clings to a raft. The raft drifts toward the strait where Scylla and Charybdis reside just as Charybdis takes her morning drink. When the raft veers toward Charybdis, Ulysses jumps from the raft and clings to the rocks until Charybdis spits the raft back into the sea. Ulysses climbs aboard the raft and keeps to Charybdis' side of the strait, far away from Scylla. Ulysses tries in vain to fish. Then he lies on his raft as though he is dead until gulls venture near to pick out his eyes upon which he kills and eats the gulls. On the tenth day of this situation, Ulysses approaches land and a fog covers the weak hero.

Hook Your Audience!

PLEASE do not use a question (or questions) as your hook. I know you learned to in sixth grade, but be brave. Try a new type of hook from the list below.


1. Announcement

• Open with an announcement about what is to come. However, do not insult the reader by saying something like, "I am going to tell you about..." The reader should be able to figure out what you are writing about. If not, there is something wrong with what you have written, not with the reader.
• Example The trait of "voice" is very important in writing. However, it is difficult to teach and even more difficult to learn. It is similar to atheletic ability because it is more like a talent than a skill.

2. Bold and Challenging Statement

• A bold and challenging statement is similar to an announcement, but is meant to cause some people to disagree with what you say. It's like one side of an argument. It can be an opinion, but don't immediately state that it is your opinion.
• Example: Using horses and cattle in the sport of rodeo is animal abuse. What makes it more aggravating is that it is legal. According to the law, there is nothing wrong with chasing an animal down, tightening a rope around its neck, knocking it to the ground, and tying its legs together so it cannot move.

3. Definition

• Open with a definition of the term you are discussing. It can be your own or come from a dictionary or textbook. If you take it from a dictionary or textbook, be sure to use quotation marks and give credit to the source.
• Example: According to Webster's Dictionary, a government is the authority that serves the people and acts on their behalf. How can the government know what the people want if the people do not vote? If we do not vote, the government may act on its own behalf instead of on the behalf of the people.

4. Well Known Quotation or Quotation from a Famous Person

• Open with a quotation that is well known or from a famous person. Be sure to put quotations around the quotation and give credit to the person who said it. Of course, the quotation must be directly related to your topic. A good source is a book of quotations. Look in the library or ask your teacher.
• Example: President John F. Kennedy once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." I think today's Americans have forgotten Kennedy's message. We expect our country to take care of us, but we are not taking care of our country.

5. Quotation Not from a Famous Person

• Open with a quotation from a person that is not famous. It could be a character from the story or someone you know personally. You still must put it in quotation marks and give credit to the person who said it.
• Example: When I was a child, I was given the "mother's curse" by my mom. Oh, it is not anything mean or evil. She just said, "When you have children, they will act just like you." I laughed. Well, now that I have children of my own, I am not laughing anymore. The "mother's curse" really works!

6. Personal Experience

• Open with something that has happened to you, or a personal experience. It could be a part of the story, or it could be something that is not a part of what you are writing about but still relates to the topic.
• Example: Although I did later in my room, I never cried at my grandfather's funeral. I guess that is why I felt so sad for the little girl standing next to her grandma's coffin. She looked so lost and afraid.

7. Figurative Language

• Begin with a simile (comparison using like or as), metaphor (comparison saying one thing is another thing), personification (giving something nonhuman human qualities), or hyperbole (exaggeration.) The figurative language must relate directly to your topic.
• Example: The pencil sharpener was always hungry. It ate my pencil every time I went to sharpen it. It never seemed to do this to anyone's pencil but mine. What was so special about my pencils?

8. Enumerated General Statement

• Begin with a general statement containing three or so ideas about your topic. The information given in the lead is general, not specific. The specific details that support the general statement will appear later in the paper.
• Example: There are many characteristics that a good teacher possesses. However, the three most important characteristics include being a good listener, being knowledgeable about the subject, and having a kind heart. All of the teachers who postively influenced me had all three of those characteristics in common.
