Characteristics:
  - brave
Ø  “So much, then, for the needs of the moment. As for tomorrow, I say this to you. I pray in good hope to Zeus and all the other gods that I shall be able to drive away these doomed dogs whom the demons of death brought here in their black ships…” – The Iliad, page 142, paragraph 526~530
- confident of victory
Ø  “Ajax, you’ve got it wrong, you great oaf. What are you talking about? If only I could be as certain of spending my days as the son of Zeus who drives the storm-cloud, with the lady Hera as my mother, and be honoured as Athene and Apollo are honoured, as I am of this day proving disastrous to the Greeks, all of them. You’ll die with the rest of them, if you dare to stand up to my long spear which is going to feast on your lily-white skin. Yes, you’ll fall by your own ships, and your flesh and fat shall glut the Trojan dogs and birds of prey.” – The Iliad, page 238, paragraph 825~833
  - full of leadership
  - excellent strategies
  - very reasonable
- gentle to Helen and his family
Ø  Helen thanked Hector for his grace to her when he was alive. Hector was the only person who actually took care of her during the war. –The Iliad
  - he was laid on top of the pyre and got cremated between his people
Ø  King Priam begged Achilles for his son’s dead body. Achilles was deeply moved so he gave Hector’s body back and called for 10 days of truce.



Comparison:
Achilles
Hector

- no responsibility
- its characteristic is like a wild horse
- hot tempered
- entered the war for his won honor
- selfish
- He killed Hector and a lot of Trojan soldiers to revenge on his best friend, Partoclus that the river overflew (If he’s asking for the right to revenge on his best friend, the Trojans have rights to kill a thousand!)
- sensibility takes the heart
- anti-hero
- human
- had humane feelings
- Trojan
- solitary leader + supreme commander + bravest general
- prince of Troy
- best strategist
- fights with a sense of duty and nationalism
- loves his brother, Paris, although he caused the war

- no one except the best general of Greek, Achilles, could kill him
- reasons overweigh sensitivity

Wacky Web Tales :P (GO TO  HERE)


The Beach
Hooray! Summer is finally here, and that means we can go to the beach! Today, my family is going to Sang-hai Beach, and I can bring a friend with me. I decide to invite my best friend Sophia. I know Sophia will want to go with us. She thinks going to the beach islong!
We start our beach day by watching the sunrise, and then eating breakfast at Uncle Steve Jobs's Pancake Hut. I always get apple pie flavored pancakes.
After breakfast we throw the waves, go smashing for seashells, and smile a sandcastle. Then we eat the lunch we packed for the beach. It's my favorite—lasagna sandwiches. The only time lasagna sandwiches are not so dirty is when you drop them in the sand.
By 4:44:44, everyone's had enough of the beach. But Sang-hai Beach is fun at night, too! There is a really beautiful boardwalk. It's always crowded with people. Would you believe we saw my teacher Mr.Crawford there, eating a huge banana split?
There are a lot of cool shops on the boardwalk. You can get a little hermit monkey, but make sure your mom and dad say it's okay! My favorite store is the jewelry store. Sophia and I each buy a rope bracelet that will typing when it gets wet. Pretty small!
By 8:00, we're all ready to head home. I usually fall asleep on the ride home. I can't wait to go to Sang-hai Beach again.

I have a friend named Jung-hoon Lee.
He is the same age as me
he is pretty short(but is growing,,, I hope)
pretty(actually VERY) funny
and looks exactly like Phineas in the 'Phineas and Ferb', the cartoon in Disney Channel.


 As you can see, I've uploaded a picture of Hoon and Baljeet, a character in the cartoon. They both have huge eyes and the color of brown for their skin! I bet their height is somehow similar, too.


To talk about Baljeet, he is one smarty pants. He always gets straight A+s and reads a ton of book. He do math whenever he feels happy, sad, angry, or even hungry! If you take a look at the bottom picture, you might be able to see a big-scary-looking-boy, stand right behind Baljeet. He's name is Buford. He always picks on everybody, especially Baljeet for no reason!



Oh, just because I only talked about Baljeet and Buford, it doesn't mean that they are the main characters in 'Phineas and Ferb'. You might've guessed that the main characters are Phineas and Ferb! I believe that Ferb was adapted in Phineas' family. Phineas has red hair and triangular shaped head while Ferb has green hair and rectangular-head.
They are both geniuses. They build stuffs like time-machine, actual monster truck or even beach, human-copy... etc.



As you can see, there are approximately 5 main characters. I will upload one of the most famous song in an episode in just a second....
