Chickenlandia Chicken Origin
The Origin of the Chicken and Chicken nuggets

Exposition
Chickenlandia was a quiet village in Ancient Greece with only a handful of inhabitants. Its main focus, for girls and boys, was archery. They valued it because of its uses in hunting and self protection. In the village, there was. In the village there was one main dirt road, and there was one blacksmith, for making bow and arrows of course, and for no reason the whole village smelled of chutney. The elders of the village always spoke when someone asked why it smelled like chutney they just said that a traveler long ago came to the village all the way from India and brought them chutney, alas that is another story.
Now, enough of that, let’s see, the main character... his name was

The thing Apollo wanted for payment was a new food, and if it didn’t come in time he would rain arrows upon the village of Chickenlandia and would make sure everybody died. The dream was over.
Without warning, another dream flickered into image like when a television turns on and this time it wasn’t Apollo speaking it was some other god.The god had black, unkempt hair and sounded like a eight year old with asthma. The god said, “I am your father, Orpheus, and I know what you’re thinking, why hasn't my mother told me about my father? Well, I told her not to tell you because I knew there would come a time where you would need me,” said Orpheus, “and the time is now, but first I want you to wake up tomorrow and go to my temple in the hills, and I want you to say to my statue, I need help, that’s it, and a miracle will happen.”
The dream was over and Horace woke with a start. He jumped out of bed and instantly hoisted a cloak on then he departed. I’ve been walking for at least an hour he thought, when will I get there? And as if to answer his question, he bumped into a column and seconds later he was sprawled on the floor of the temple of Orpheus.

    Alike to the children who are able to watch “...their father’s life dawn again”, Odysseus is given a sign that the domestic life he craves for will be bestowed upon him soon (437). The father on the brink of death symbolizes how Odysseus’ yearning to return to a domestic life as a citizen and be with his family had originally appeared to be dying and impossible to achieve due to his distance. At first, Odysseus’ life is comparable to the storm Poseidon created, chaotic and filled with perils threatening to take his life and destroy his hope. However, upon seeing “...that shore, those trees” the stability of domesticity is approaching him (441). In comparison to the storm, the land becomes Odysseus’ anchor as it stabilizes him and provides him…

    *Authors note: Differences in detail between this retelling and a vocal retelling of the most lucid dream I've ever had exist solely as a result in the difference of medium. When telling a story with speech it is prudent to keep words flowing and to take little time for pause, leaving blank spots in the recollection. When writing however, one is allowed many chances to stop and gather their thoughts. While all of the content of this text document occurred in a dream within my own head making it therefore, by its very nature, subjective; I will attempt with the greatest of my abilities to avoid fabrication or invention of themes, topics, or occurrences, that did not happen during the time span of the dream. As many surely know, dreams can be difficult to recall in clarity, and if I fail to recall what happened I will simply note so.…

    In the Iliad and the Odyssey Homer shows the insight of preserving beliefs and ritual observations of the ancient Greeks, whose civilization shapes towards the year 2000.a.c Consists mainly of a body of diverse history and legends on a variety of gods. Nevertheless, dreams play an important role in this novel because the ancient creeks believes that dreams are signs of event. By comparing the Iliad and Odyssey the ancient sources confirm a widespread knowledge at the popular level, judging the dream as the ideal vehicle for the expression of the divine will, realizing in turn the interpretation of the visions carrying an allegorical message.
