1.) The claim that Aristotle makes about The Odyssey is that it can be easily summarized. He speaks about the events that happen in the story. The rest is just upcoming events in the story.
2.) I felt that Odysseus's, Telemachu's, and Penelope's are all in a very difficult and unfortunate situation. Odysseus was trying to get home to his family while his son "Telemachus" was trying to protect his mother "Penelope" from a mob of suitors. Penelope was remaining faithful to her husband "Odysseus". I would want to see them resolved in the "episodes" that Aristotle references because I'm curious to see how they are going to solve their situations whether it was an easy or a difficult option. I'm also willing to see if they made a good decision.
3.) We read the story because we learn about people's experiences in their situations. We listen to stories retold by friends and family because we find it interesting to learn about their past. The experience of hearing or reading a story in full helps us get to understand the meaning of the story.

More Research
1) choose a topic you are most passionate for
The topic that I'm most passionate for researching for this project is Puerto Rican literature.
2) List foundational work/texts you plan on using for your project (these texts should be "old" as in foundational to the civilization/ culture you are studying)
The foundational texts that I plan on using is Manuel A. Alonso because he was a writer, poet and journalist. He was also considered to be the first puerto Rican writer for noble importance. This work is the result of a profound sense of Puerto Rican cultural identity, produced under the overriding censorship and oppression of Spain's colonial regime. The work reveals that Puerto Rico's early writers were beginning to consciously exert true historical and cultural vision, and rally behind a great sense of patriotism.

3) Research and list modern texts from the same culture/civilization.
Some of the modern texts of Puerto Rican Literature are:
-Alonso's work comprises of 13 essays, which are portraits of criollo daily life, in addition to right short poems.
-Alonso transcribes and imitates rural speech patterns, describes the criollo view of the world, and exalts the jibaros, or rural poor, who are seen in his works as people who could be educated, employed, and effectively directed toward the island's national causes, alebeit, within a plantation economy.
-In 1882, Alonso published a second expanded edition of El Gibaro, where he builds on earlier themes and cultural critiques, most notably in the short story/essay "Perico Paciencia."
4) Using the question activity we did in class, generate a list of questions you will use for your research and learning.
Some Questions that I'll be using for my research and writing are
-When did he became interested in literature?
-Were there any well known works?
-Was there anyone else inspired by his work?

Research Project: Reinventing the Cannon
Think of 2-3 civilizations / cultures whose literature you would want to research. After you have your 2-3, I want you to pick the one you are most interested in, and explain to me why.
I would be interested in researching, Cuba, France, and Puerto Rico. The one that I would be interested in researching would be Puerto. I chose Puerto Rico because my whole family is from Puerto Rico. I would like to learn more about my family's culture, history, and language they speak. I am also interested in the types of foods they eat, and clothes that they wear in Puerto Rico. I've only been to Puerto Rico for five hours during the summer (Cruise) and would hopefully go next summer for a longer stay.

Development
1.) The 3 strengths that I have are:
a.) kindness- I support my Grandmother when she's sad.
b.) Caring- I care a lot for the people I love
c.) Hard worker- I take my schoolwork very seriously and work hard to get good grades
2.) Three major long terms I have are:
a.) A veterinarian
b.) being an animator
c.) being more stronger
3.) I would like to improve on:
a.) My flexibility
b.) Eating more healthy things
c.) My sensitivity
I plan on achieving these goals by studying hard, exercising more, and working on my emotions. My tiredness and busyness gets in my way of achieving these goals. I can be cleared on this obstacle by taking vitamins, sleeping early, and learning how to be more confident.
