The woman described above is Julia Butterfly Hill, a determined twenty-three-year-old preacher’s daughter from Arkansas who in December of 1997 climbed one-hundred and eighty feet into a thousand-year-old redwood tree named Luna in Humboldt County of California. She promised not to leave the top of that tree until Luna was guaranteed permanent protection from Pacific Lumber/Maxxam Corporation’s clear cutting policies; which she saw as destructive. Hill stuck to her promise and lived on a small platform built on that redwood tree for more than two years, bringing international attention to the destruction of the redwoods.

Kolby McNeal Harrington English B4 October 5, 2012 The Story of Odysseus Although Odysseus meets many of the epic hero, there are also distinctions which make Odysseus seem less than heroic. They say that because he seems just like any other hero although he was one of the greatest. The things I will be talking about in this essay is Odysseus accomplishments and highlights.
