The way that I would like to describe Ulysses's appearance are: sturdy, muscular, and untidy. The reason I think that he looks sturdy is because he would've got trained for the Trojan War, which made himself look muscular and healthy. The reason I think that he looks muscular is because the fact that he holds onto heavy weapons everyday, and for a decade in the Trojan War. The reason I think he's untidy is because many men didn't take a bath, and comb or rinse-out their hair that they look like a wild creature from the forests.
The way that I would like to describe the way he acted like are: he would've been acting like a smart person, since he was really good at some kind of tactics used in the war or a fight, because he was the one who made the idea of the Trojan Horse. He may also have acted like a hero, since he had many adventures throughout his way through Ithaca. And, he would've acted like a father because he has a family.

Ulysses' men betray him and open the bag of winds from Aeolus because they thought that inside the sack was a bunch of treasure that started clinking, even though the truth was that Poseidon was clinking his golden bracelets together. The men thought that they deserved to get some of the treasure since they fought for the war too. And, the men who cut-open the bag of air from Aeolus was blown away and damaged with the vigorous wind.

If you live on Cannibal beach, I think that you'll be really scared and confused since the cannibals live in there and they might eat you. The problems that would likely to occur if there was a quicker cycle of day and night is that you'll do everything quicker than an ordinary day. Also, you'll be irritated with fatigue since the night is short. And this kept Ulysses from discovering what the trees were by the fact that the night was too long and he was curious if the sun was rising that he actually climbs up the tree and see what was going on.
As all the advices given turns out to be useless, he decides to course his boat north by northwest, which leads to the place where the Isle of the Sun (place with demons and monsters) is. And, I have been in a situation that required me to make an important decision on my own which was to do the extra credit or not. So I decided to do it because it is better than not getting an extra credit.
