Odysseus

After a long and exhausting struggle on the sea, Odysseus finally reached the gorgeous
shores of Cuba. The land was warm and consisted of primarilly flat land (Lindop 3). The
coastline was jagged and odd, different from any other of the shores he had been to
(Vazquez 15). After a strenuous two hour walk he eventuallty reached Havana, the capitol
of Cuba (Vazquez 8). After Odysseus reached Havana, "the playground ot the Western
world, " he was tired, so he searched for a hotel to sleep in (Vazquez 8). Odysseus finally
came upon a ran-down, low-priced hotel; just the type for him because he had a scarce
amount of money. He entered the hotel and the man behind the counter was a Spanish
speaking African man, the typical ancestry background of a Cuban (Morris 56). Odysseus
asked for and got a decent, inexpensive room and went right to bed.
     In the morning Odysseus tried to turn on the sink to get a drink of water before he
continued his journey; however, no water came out. He went down to the manager to
complain about the sink. The manager told him that in Cuba they are only allowed two
hours of running water a day,  and the two hours didn't start until later that afternoon
(Ward 41). Odysseus' mouth was so arid he needed water immediately. He left the hotel
and started strolling down the streets of Havana, when he decided to rob a store to get
water. Odysseus entered the next store he approached, grabbed a bottle of water and ran
out. Seconds later an alarm went off. Hearing sirens he ran as fast as cheetah onto a side
street where he hid behind a dumpster. After Odysseus waited there for a hour he realized
he was safe, and he came out from behind the dumpster.
     After he left the dumpster Odysseus walked on until he reached the rain forest
(Curtis). The dense, dim forest was full of all kinds of animals and  frightened Odysseus (
Haverstock 11). Tediously he went through the thick forest where came upon grapefruit
and orange trees which he ate (Vazquez 26). Odysseus filled his stomach and walked on
until he approached a swamp. Odysseus felt filthy from all he had traveled, so he took a
take a dive in the swamp to bathe and cool off. After Odysseus felt refreshed he started to
swim out of the murky water when a giant alligator approached him (Morris 11). Being
alert Odysseus grabbed a sharp-edged dagger out of his back pocket with his left hand, but
the vicious alligator already furiously bit on Odysseus' right hand. Quickly, with his left
hand he jabbed the alligator with his dagger in the head multiple times, until the alligator
let go of his arm. As fast as he could Odysseus swam to the shore and slowly crawled up
onto land. He laid in pain, and as he glanced at his arm he noticed there was a enormous
gash his arm . Odysseus knew he had to wrap something around the wound to discontinue
the bleeding, so he got up and started looking around. He came upon a Papaya tree thia
had flexible branches, and he thought that they might work to stop the bleeding so he tore
some branches off the tree (Vazquez 26). He tied them tightly around his arm, and they
worked perfectly.
     As Odysseus continued his journey in trying to reach Ithaca, he walked about 150
miles until reached a city called Camaguey (Augelli 124). Camaguey was a hil...
