ENG 2800 with Prof. McGlynn

It is very interesting that stories of Sinbad are very similar to stories of Odyssey. There is a character that is very similar to Cyclops. He ate companions of Sinbad and got blind by Sinbad and his companions. Later, he threw rocks to Sinbad’s ship. Also, in the tale of Sinbad, sleep is very dangerous, I think, it is even more dangerous.

 When people love someone, they always have to sacrifice something valuable. Most people would choose to sacrifice something for their love. I think it takes bravery to love someone. However, Chang was not brave, so he failed. I think Chang’s explanation that he gave to his friend is just his excuse.

While i was reading John, i wondered why people who welcomed Jesus suddenly became crowds who tries to kill Jesus and mock him. When jesus came to Jerusalem, they said ” Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Load”. After Jesus got arrested, Jesus went to the court. People even asked Pilate to relase Barabbas who was a bandit instead of Jesus.
