Calylpso's Island, and Buffalo New York
As I remembered when I was reading about Odysseus was trapped at Calypso's island. I had a flashback. I was 6 years old, and I was in Buffalo New york. So, I thought this is a good connection, and I'll tell you why. One time, I was really angry that we can't get to do what I want to do. We were in the museum, the worst place you can ever be in and I wanted to see the old light house on the shore, it was like a quarter mile away. I never stop thinking about it. I thought it wasn't no big deal to lie and tell my parents that I need to go to the bathroom. So, I decided to sneak out and run as fast as I can to get the light house. All the sudden, I started to feel scared because I was assumed that I was lost for sure. I looked around and tried to find the light house or the museum and I couldn't and I freaked out. I felt trapped cause I didn't want to go any farther because I'll be even more lost than I ever was. Also, I didn't know which way is back home. I was crying and didn't know what to do because I was trapped. I thought that it is similar to Odysseus's story, that he was trapped and wanted to go back home, Ithaca. So, as I was lost, I heard someone, strangely I can hear very well, but I know I heard something. I followed the voice and found my way out. I noticed the museum again, and I went in to find my family. They were very worried, and thought I was lost somewhere in the museum. I told the story to my parent, what really happened.

Canada, Here we come!
As I was reading the article, I was shocked. Since Obama was elected for president, there was a rumor that people was talking about moving to Canada but there is a problem. As the article was saying that Canada has a very strict policy. You can't just get in and find a place to live for the next 4 years. The first thing you have to do is to take a test to become a citizen. The test is not that easy, she said. You have to know their government, their politics, and background about Canada. Also, the police will search you and your background to find if it's safe to let you in. So, I started to ponder, "Well I have a cabin at Rainy Lake, which it is in Canada. Can I just go up to my cabin and live there? Well, because in last few years, all I had to is get my I68, and RABC and then I can stay at my cabin. Will it be different this year?" I was curious what could happen next summer. Can I just do the same, or the police will be more stricter? This article was important, because its telling you to be more prepared if you're moving to Canada, this is not easy as you thought it would be.
