taken him to a great many places. He has seen military service in
Egypt, Lithuania, Prussia, Russia, Spain, North Africa, and Asia Minor
where he "was of [great] value in all eyes (l. 63). Even though he has

Number of words: 981 | Number of pages: 4.... lot.
Jim was in love with his wife, and would do anything for her, as would Mr.
Loisel. Both couples were very thrifty when it came to money. Since they
were poor, they were good at saving their money for items they needed,

Odysseus Vs. Achilleus
Number of words: 458 | Number of pages: 2.... and cleverer than Achilles. Odysseus also showed cunning when he came up with the plot to defeat Troy, using the Trojan Horse.
Odysseus fought bravely throughout the entire Trojan War, whereas Achilles spent quite awhile in his tent pouting after Agamemnon kidnapped his prize maiden, Chryseis. He also lets his best friend, Patroclus, go into battle alone to die by Hector's spear. It takes a great loss like this for Achilles to get up and fight again.
