Was Odysseus a good or bad leader ? Generally I think Odysseus is a good leader because he saves his men more times than he lets them get killed‚ for example on the island with Polythemus.

Still‚ Truss speaks with such cockiness that sometimes it is hard to stomach. There isn’t much in the way of themes and symbolism in this novel. One obvious

My Ideal Classroom Students prefer different settings in which to learn‚ and teachers may be wise to create different scenarios inside of the classroom. A separated desk shielded by bookshelves could be good hide spot for a student who likes silence for individual learning. Most of the students like to learn and work as a group‚ so a round group table may be the ideal place for them to gather. I believe that the ideal classroom needs to be learner focused.
