Is it worth fighting for?

My neighborhood is not the richest but it also is not the poorest neighborhood. Its only a one mile town. Its one mile of friendlyness. People in this town are nice and try to help eachother out but then again theres people who keep to themseleves. We have one of the best water ice in town and that would be the Water Ice Factory. Everyone knows everyone in this town because its not that big. Magnolia is also known for its baseball season and its opening days and championships.

My town is not worth fighting for though because its only a one mile town. Its not big enough to be fought for. Not that many people would fight for it either but then again some people would. Some people truely love their town and would do anything for it. I am just one of the people who would not fight for it. Its not a big enough to be fought over. Even if we did make things better it still would not be worth fighting for. I think we should leave things the way they are. Everything is going fine. Not one complant has came about about Magnolia. Plus we honestly don't owe it to anyone. No one owes us anything unless they helped us out and we haven't helped them. Other then that Magnolia should be left alone.

Calypso is a greek Goddess. She is the daughter of Atlas, also known as Atlantis. Calypso was trapped on an island called Ogygia for standing by her fathers side and suporting him during the Titanomachy. Calypso impersioned the Greek hero Odysseus on her island. She tried keeping him captive to make him an immortal husband of her own. For 7 years Odysseus was held captive with Calypso. Odysseus wanted to return home to his wife Penelope because he was inlove with her and was faithful to her. Yet Calypso (a sex goddess) kept him all to herself.

Since there was so much anguish with Odysseus, Athena asks Zeus to release Odysseus from Calypso's island. Zeus agrees with Athena and orders Calypso to release Odysseus. Hermes relayed th the message to Calypso and ordered Odysseus to go home. Even though she did not want him to leave because she grew on him.

In my opinion is that Calypso was a very sexual female but then again very selfish. She held a man captive that did not want to be there in the first place. Even though it sounds like a good place to stay, in reality its not. That is why Zeus order his release. Odysseus returned home to his family.
