Barium Iodide in solution with 2 mL of deionized water looks cloudy. Zinc Sulfate in solution with 2 mL of deionized water is clear. Barium Iodide solution mixed with Zinc Sulfate solution turns milky white. After first centrifugation, solution separates into Barium Sulfate precipitate and Zinc Iodide supernatant. Supernatant is decanted into boiling tube. After second centrifugation we are left with more precipitate and a little more supernatant.

Some of the more famous being stories like Moby Dick, To Kill a Mockingbird, and the Odyssey. The Odyssey is a tale written by Homer about Odysseus, a war hero from the Trojan War. The epic is about Odysseus’s prolonged and arduous ten year journey to get home after the war ends. But the story isn’t just about Odysseus: there are many other characters including his son Telemachus who shows great courage in the face of danger.

Telemachus overhears an argument that the Greek’s are having about the fate of the community since Odysseus has not come back. Most people think Odysseus has died, but Telemachus still believes that his father is alive. He stands up and says, “Eurymachus, and noble suitors all, I am finished with appeals and argument.The gods know, and the Achaeans know, these things. But give me a fast ship and a crew of twenty who will see me through a voyage, out and back…” (217-222). Telemachus was scared to stand up in front of those around him and say his unpopular opinion. He probably feared the consequences of speaking out, but he still did it. Telemachus knew that if he didn’t stand up and speak, then he would never avenge his father, and prove that their was hope. He faced his fears for the greater good of the community, and to win his own personal battle. This required both mental and…
