Ending Thoughts on the Odyssey and connections to Eragon

I really liked this book even though I did not think I would. I liked that started out with Odysseus telling his story after the Trojan war and that led up to the present where he went home and finished his adventure. I also liked how Odysseus was not only strong and brave, but he was smart to. He could have just found his wife and ran away with her, but he figured out a plan and stuck to it and in the end it worked out. Odysseus never really grew up and liked another charecter more and more as the story went on. He really just loved a few things from the start. His home land, his wife, and his son. This book I think had some connections to Eragon. First it was based on really one main charecter from the start and there adventure to survive. There is also a huge diffrence, in Eragon when Eragon's dragon egg hatched that changed his life and the whole dirrection of the story. One moment he was living on a farm, the next he was going to fight the Ra-Zac. In the Odyssey there was no major changin point. He just kept on trying to get home after the Trojan war. Another connection is that both the main charecters fought for what was right and not for evil. Eragon fought for the Elves so the Empire could not control them and Odysseus fought for justice for his family so they could live together again. I really liked this project and how the bloging made me get into and think more about the book.
