You are an Epic Hero

          Reading through the first few scenes of The Odyssey, I can understand that Odysseus is a very intelligent, risky, and courageous man. He is put into many circumstances that require him to use his wits to survive. Such as when they went into Polyphemus's cave, they didn't know how to get out, but Odysseus found a way to do so using his brains. One of Odysseus's flaws is that he is too cocky. We know that he is smart and courageous, but is the exact opposite of humble. Once he escapes from Polyphemus and gets onto his ship, he yells back at Polythemus telling him that his name is actually Odysseus and not Nohbdy, which was unnecessary.
          Vin, the indian boy who was on a mission to kill a monster, had lost his Chinese friend to the monster in the cave BUK, and was in deep sorrow. He was as sad as a boy who found out that his "mother" was his grandfather, and his "father" was his grandmother, but his they weren't his actual grandparents, which meant he had no parents. As Vin walked through the cave of BUK, he noticed the green eyed monster running. He tried to follow the monster but he had no luck. Then he saw the monster eat something, and all he could hear was "Bwlack bwack munchmunch munch" That was it, his Chinese sidekick was gone, eaten up. He decided to go teach the monster a lesson about Indians. He ran after the green eyed monster, and tackled him. Then he yelled at the monster "Eat me boy!" The monster stared at him dumbfounded. Slowly, the monster picked Vin up and right before it was about to eat him, Vin took out his SriRacha hot chili sauce, and poured it into his mouth, along with a couple of spicy peppers. Immediatly, the monster started choking, and its eyes turned really red. It dropped to its knees, threw up, and then died. As he was vomitting, Lau, came out whole from the monster's mouth. Lau thanked Vin, and they both went off to their next mission. Vin had saved the day, and couldn't have done it without his weapon, the bottle of SriRacha hot chili sauce.
