After escaping from the Lotus Flowers, all of the men were hungry. Ulysses had no choice but to disembark with his men. They went into the cave of the cyclops. When they got there, the cyclops was very big. Before they knew it, the cyclops killed 2 men. The cyclops was telling them that he would eat all of them. Smart Ulysses had a plan though. Acting as polite as he could, he offered wine to the cyclops. In the wine, there was something that would make it sleepy. The cyclops drank it and fell asleep. Ulysses then told his men to split up into 2 groups and each group hold one of the cyclops' ears. So they did. Then using his sword, Ulysses stabbed the giant in the eye. The giant screamed in horror. He teared one of Ulysses' men into pieces. Then as fast as they could, they ran away. The angry cyclops threw huge boulders at them when they were at their ship. One of his boulders hit mid-deck of the ship. The ship almost sunk, and more men died. Finally, the cyclops prayed to Poseidon, telling him to make Ulysses' journey back home difficult, and he also asked that Ulysses be forgotten by his people.======

__Chapter 45/46 Answer (March 3rd, 2010)__ In the beginning, Crispin treats royalty like it is a stranger, but now since he has witnessed many different people and went to Lord Furnival's city, he is more familiar with royalty. Towards god, he acts more graceful and happy then he was in the beginning of the book. Crispin heard John Ball talking. John Ball said "The church as it exists, should be allowed to wither. Corrupt priests and bishops must be expelled from our churches. In their place will stand true and holy priests who shall have no wealth or rights above common people." Crispin changed his thoughts toward god after hearing this. Crispin thought that his village life was as good as it was going to get. But he heard John Ball talking about all the things that can make his village better. So now he finally understand how bad his village was. Crispin used to have no clue about a lot of things. He didn't have reason because he had no experience in the beginning of the book. But now, he has a reason for everything, for he has had many experiences and has been in danger many times. He used to think that he was just a serf, because no one loved him since his mom died and everyone around him died. But now, since Bear has shown some kind of strong feeling towards him, he feels important and is more self confident of himself.

He also told him that Lord Furnival was very sick and he might die. Asta's son was very confused and disappointed that his mother hid so many things from her own son. Father Quinel promised to tell Asta's son about his father 1 day later.

__Journal Response (October 15th, 2009)__ I would fight as hard as Ulysses for my mom. My mom and I are really close. I would do anything for my mom. I would face all the scary, and risky creatures that Ulysses faced. WIthout my mom, I would very lonely. I cannot imagine life without my mom. Dangers are just something that you fear, something you will face. There is nothing I can compare to my mom. I love her very much, and I would be willing to die for her. Also, the terrible dangers that Ulysses faced. You would have to be strong and wise to survive. If I had to face the same dangers I probably wouldn't survive. I would go through all that and not survive for my mom.

__Journal Response (September 24th, 2009)__ Ulysses decides to ignore all of the ghosts' advice, and make his own choice. When he hears the strange sounds and sees the strange rocks, he decides make the ship sail away and turn in a circle, to get rid of the chasing rocks. He also decides to go to Thrinacia, Isle of the sun- titan. When I was very young, I had to make a decision of who to invite to my birthday party. There were only a few number of people I could invite to my party. I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings by not inviting them. My mom told me that I should only invite the nicest and most understanding people, not the people who are mean. So I finally decided to invite just a few of my friends, also known as my best friends, instead of everyone I ever knew.

__Prompt (September 15th, 2009)__ If I lived on Cannibal beach, I wouldn't be able to stay out in the sunlight like in usual beaches because the sunlight wouldn't last very long. I would be fascinated on how the colors in the sky could change so quickly. I would also be interested on the pretty colors that were always changing. With a quicker day and night, it would be very hard to look for food because food is easier to find when there is sunlight, and the sunlight doesn't last very long. The change of temperature from the change of day and night might even make us catch a cold, which is bad. Also when it's night, it is dark, which would make it much harder to see. The switching of day and night wouldn't be very convenient for me. Since it was dark when Ulysses climbed the tree, the tree (Which turned out to be a giant monster) was asleep. The giants didn't know that they were giants because it was too dark and they could only see their legs.

__Prompt (September 7th, 2009)__ After Ulysses saw his palace and fell asleep, the men were curious of what was was inside the back Ulysses was holding. Nobody knew that Poseidon was swimming beside their ship. While Poseidon was swimming, he clinked his golden armlets. Hearing the clinking sound, the men thought the sound was coming from the bag Ulysses was holding. They thought that in the bag were golden coins. They thought it was unfair that Ulysses wasn't sharing the fortune with them. They thought that if all of them shared the danger, they should share the loot. They told each other that Ulysses was never going to give it to them, for he was guarding the whole entire night, so one of them took out a knife and began to cut the bag open.

As soon as one of his men opened the bag, he was lifted off into the air and into the water. The winds were screaming of joy. Then suddenly as the winds became angry, it started ripping the sails into shreds, and snapping their masts like twigs, and hurling the splintered hulls westward over the boiling sea. The winds were dragging the ship back to Aeolus' cave, where Ulysses asked for a second chance.

__Describing Ulysses (August 30th, 2009)__ ====Ulysses' Appearance is on the cover of the book. He is very hairy. He looks like an angry man. He has a hairy mustache and beard. He is also wearing an armor. He looks a little old because of his wrinkles. He has bushy eyebrows, and based on the pictures on the cover of the book, he seems like a good fighter. When fighting he holds a shield and a knife. His eyes look very strong, like he's been through a lot of hard things in life, or in his case war.====

====Ulysses is a very brave guy. He is willing to risk everything for his people. He leads his people through war. This courageous man is also very smart. For example in the book, while all his men fell asleep (They were hypnotized by the smell/ taste of the Lotus Flowers) Ulysses tries his best to stay awake. Just then he figured out that the reason every one of his men were falling asleep was because of the Lotus Flower. None of his men would've figured that out, but he did. Then he stopped eating the flower. He is not afraid of war. So, he is brave, courageous, and smart.====

====Ulysses is a strong guy. He is strong both physically and mentally. First he is strong physically because he is a great fighter. He leads his men to the right path to always do what's the best for them. Although many dangers crossed him, he made it through it all. He is strong mentally because even though something is hard, he is willing to try his best to accomplish something. For example, when he found out about the Lotus Flower, he tried to stop eating it, but his arm would not listen to him. So, he forced his other arm to open his hand and he finally put the flower down.====
