Although this crafty hero has many other great qualities, these qualities are the highlights of his character. Odysseus’s best quality, in my opinion, is his sneaky cleverness. Odysseus is always thinking, and he shows it numerous times throughout his adventures. One of his most crafty plans, on page 225, was when he tied himself and all of his men to the Cyclops’s ram’s bellies and escaped from the Cyclops into their ship. Polyphemus, the Cyclops, didn’t sense that the Odysseus and the men were hiding, and when he let is rams free, the crew escaped.

“Shall endow chariots with incredible speed, without the aid of any animal,” David Goewey was talking about SUV’s in a sense, but this relates to the Ford Mustang too. In the early 60’s muscle cars were huge with younger people (Goewey 147). Chevy and Dodge already had their muscle cars and theirs were big with this generation even the Pontiac Firebird was accepted to the muscle cars standards. But Ford was the only one without any type of muscle cars, this was when John Najjar pitched his idea of a car different than any other made, it was wild, free, fast, wicked. Ford’s Mustang first model was in 1964; it was revolutionary to the car world.

He is one of the big reasons that the United States has a middle working class because of his great generosity for his workers. Ford could have been anyone. He proved that small ideas from a know nothing farm boy, that made some mistakes along the way but was persistent, could change the entire course of the world for the better, something Ford Motor company continues to achieve today. What a wonderful example Henry Ford was in achieving the American Dream and tried hard to engrave that mindset into the peoples of the United States. Henry ford was that ordinary man that showed everyone that anyone could become a brilliant but simple person no matter what their
He finally becomes his father’s “son” per say. The storyteller loves the speed and danger, thinking that it is the fastest ride ever to be ridden. No one has been in “the unbroken surface.”(57)of snow. The narrator see’s all the dangerous obstacles, “ditches, fences, stakes.”(57)but all of the sudden they don’t seem so dangerous but rather he is reveling in their beauty.

When faced with a predicament, sometimes taking risks is the most effective way to solve the problem. In “Breaking Through Uncertainty – Welcoming Adversity” by Jim McCormick, the skydiver, McCormick, saves his own life by taking a significant risk which in the end, allows him to undergo personal growth. In “Neighbours” by Lien Chao, Sally also takes a risk and makes new friends, gaining some confidence in herself. Although both individuals are audacious in their own conventional ways, the skydiver in “Breaking Through Uncertainty – Welcoming Adversity” is more prominent in demonstrating the greater benefit derived from taking risks than Sally in “Neighbours”. In terms of similarities, both texts present the notion that facing problems directly and honestly is the best course of action in order to benefit from risk-taking.
