Ulysses and his men arrive at the Cyclops' cave and smells food. They run into the cave and start eating furiously. But then the Cyclops closes the exit to the cave and eat some of the crew members. Ulysses tells the cyclops that his name is Nobody. Then Ulysses convinces the Cyclops that wine is better than men and the Cyclops drinks the wine, gets drowsy, and goes to sleep. Ulysses stabs the cyclops's eye out and the Cyclops roars in pain. Because it cannot see, when the sheep or goats were leaving, the crew left by hanging on to the sheep's bellies. So when the cyclops goes to tattle to his friends, he tells that Nobody did it. The other cyclopes don't help the cyclops. Ulysses gets too proud and tells the cyclops his true name. The cyclops tattles to his father Poseidon.

What would it be like to live on Cannibal Beach?
I think living on cannibal beach would be very stressful. Because the humans would age quickly, they would not have enough sleep, and because the stores would only open for 2 minutes. Plus, the giants will be constantly chasing eating and flattening people. I think this kept Ulysses from discovering what the trees were because there was not enough time or light to see clearly what the trees REALLY were.

what to do for himself. All of the advice that he has been given turns out to be useless.
What does he decide to do? Have you ever been in a situation that required you to
make an important decision on you own? How did you decide what to do?
When I started 3rd grade my mom said to listen to the teacher but the teacher gave us the whole time to do whatever we want as long as we don't murder each other and of course that was a joke because I just don't get how a third grader can actually "HURT" anyone. but how do we listen to a teacher when we can be FREE? So we just sat there until the teacher gave us something to do.
