Dear Journal,
My men and I have been trapped in the Cyclopse's home for much to long but rest asserded, my clever mind has quickly formed a fool proof escape plan that will once again show my men how brave, smart, and heroic I am. I don't care that the stupid cyclopse's is suffering from his stabbed eye. He has to pay for eating my men and I will have the greatest revenge on him when I cunningly sneak away and turn back in my mighty ship yelling back at him, mocking his stupidity. I am sorry that my men have died but we will have to move on and with my leadership we will all forget it ever happened. When I get home everyone will welcome me with open arms and thousands of years past my times people will celebrate my greatness and worship the lands I visited.

The Odyssey
Dear Journal,
Today I realized that I am more clever than I had previously thought. I single-handedly tricked and defeated the Cyclopes. Though, I lost some of my best fighters, I an still proud of myself. After realizing that we could not get out, I took advantage of my intelligent brain and got the Cyclopes drunk. Then, we stabbed his eye with a hot spear. He blindly moved the stone at the entrance. He yelled for help, but I cleverly tricked him into thinking my name was "Nohbody." So no one came to his aide. Then, my men and I hid under the bellies of his sheep, stealing them in the process, and escaped. The king will now be impressed and give me respect. I learned that I can always outwit my enemy and use my brains no matter how strong they are.
Sincerely,
Odysseus

Dear Journal,
Today I impressed myself by fooling the cyclopse. I showed them who was boss by making their master drunk and stabbing him in the eye with our weapons. I was able to trick his people into thinking he was being abused by "Nohbdy" causing them to run off and let him be. This made me feel stronger watching him suffer longer and longer. Not only did we harm him, but we were able to trick him into allowing us through to escape while he was blind. The tricks I performed were really used to our advantage. I was able to get out without harm and I feel great knowing of the things I did to the cyclopse. Everyone will know of my great actions taken. Everyone will be proud.
Sincerely,
Odysseus

Dear Journal,
Today I shared with the king my heroic efforts in defeating the cyclopes. Even though I lost many of my best fighters to the beast I was able to escape. I tricked him into drinking un-watered wine which made him drunk and pass out. While he was out, we stabbed him in the eye with a stick we heated in the fire. While he was blind he opened the boulder that sealed the cave and I used my quit wits to cover my men and I with wools and hung on to the belly of his flock. After we escaped, we stole the cyclopes' herd and made it known that, I, Odysseus outwitted Polyphemus the cyclopes.

Dear Journal,
I have just defeated the Cyclops. My skills of trickery have come to use. Fooling the master into becoming drunken and stabbing his eye. By telling him that my name was "Nohbdy", he was fooled into yelling for help because "Nohbdy tricked him" and "Nohbdy ruined him". For this plan worked. If Nohbdy caused fro destruction than no help was necessary. My great wit and clever trickery had worked. And the king shall now hear of this story. Of my accomplishments and victorious incidences.
Sincerely,
Odysseus

Odyssey
Dear Journal,
Today I got to meet the king and impress him with my stories of my cunning nature. I shared my all time favorite story of how I tricked the stupid old cyclopes. The king was clearly amazed by how clever I am with telling the Cyclopes my name was Nohbody and then escaping by clinging to the underbelly of his sheep so he would let myself and my crew out with them. I also told how I back talked to the Cyclopes despite my men's' protests, and of course because it's me I got away just fine. I plan to tell many more of my stories, the king never exactly asked to here them he just questioned who I was. To me the answers are all in the same because I am my success. I was aloe pleased at how the princess reacted to my story. All it took to win her over was to speak of how Calypso captured me yet I stayed faithful to my wife.
Sincerely, Odysseus.

The Odyssey
Odysseus' Point of View:
I have shown Cyclopes not to mess with my men and I ever again, for when I made their master get drunk I was able to stab his eye, and using my trickery I was able to make his pain last longer for I told him my name was "Nohbdy" so when he screamed for his people they turned him away, thinking "Nohbdy" did anything to him. Although I lost some men, we have all come out stronger. The king will now see me as he should have always.
Odysseus is a great leader, he shows his men to keep calm and carry on, and that they should be brave because when they have bravery on their side nothing can stop them, not even an one-eyed monster, such as Cyclopes.

The Odyssey
The point of Odysseus was to say I met a king and after telling him who I was and about my accomplishments I told for example the story with the cyclopes. I told how I had explored the island of the cyclopes. He had tricked the beast by feeding him whiskey, then while drunk made him blind when he was asleep. Then he hid under one of his rams to escape his cave. Now I believe the king will now give me the respect that should be owed.

Point of Odysseus:
I met a king today and after telling him who i was and of my great accomplishments i shared with him the story of my cleverness with the cyclopes. I told him how i explored the island of the cyclopes and we were captured by a Cyclopes. Luckily i was able to use my cleverness to escape his grasp with most of my men. I tricked the fool beast by feeding him whiskey and blinding him after he fell asleep. Not only did i do that but i then hid under one of his rams belly to escape his cave, what a genius plan. Unfortunately while escaping i almost got my crew captured while bragging of my success to the beast. I believe the king will now give me the respect that is owed to me.
