Name

Sung Jun Jun

Hey, my name is Sung Jun Jun a 7^th grader in ISKL. I am proud of my name because it is simple and repeatable. Sung Jun Jun Jun Jun Jun… I don’t like names that are normal or too ridiculous. My name is a bit funny and easy to remember. I sometimes write my name as Sung Jun times two. My name is from Chinese language meaning ‘do something great’. I don’t believe my name’s meaning, as I didn’t do anything great. When I was young, I wanted to change my name to Gundam (a name of robot model). I liked making robot models and I even wanted to be a robot and fight against the enemies. I am always being teased about my first and last name, as it is the same. My friends call me Jun Jun Jun… but I am okay with being teased that way because it is not that important. My grandmother studied about the Chinese language to make up my name. Most Koreans think that the names are important so they always try to pick the best three words in Chinese language that form into a good meaning. Anyway, I love my name!

Summary of Odysseus

I read Odysseus, a myth. Odysseus was a hero who had a beard trimmed to a point, bronze hair, tanned skin and blue eyes. His was the head of his army and he was a brave warrior who fought in a war in troy for over ten years. He won the ever lasting war and set off to his home Ithaca. When he was sailing in the seas, his twelve ships meet an enormous storm. Luckily, every twelve ships were together, not a single ship was left out. However, they had lost their way back to Ithaca and they realize that they were sailing in strange waters. They were running out of food, so they land on an unknown island. Unfortunately, the lotus-eaters were living in the island so they quickly set of headed to another island. Unluckily, giant Cyclops were living in the next island. The crowd including Odysseus was captured in a dark cave and the Cyclops ate two of his men freshly each day. With the great knowledge of Odysseus, they poke Cyclops’ eye and escape the cave by hiding under the sheep when they are going out to be fed. After the escaping, they head to another island. They land on the island of Aeolia and the king Lamus welcomed them. They ate and rested a lot and with lots of food in the ship, they headed to the other island as always. They land on Circe’s island the next time. Circe was a witch who could turn people into animals. They stop Circe from keep making people into animals and Circe suggested them to go to underworld to ask the way to Ithaca to the spirits. They reach to underworld by following the sea-lane to the underworld. The brave Odysseus asks to the spirits to tell them the way back to Ithaca. This is all l have read so far.
