Hi Ms Johnson. Here is my PMI about the myth as well as the animation.
This is a PMI from Odysseus’s point of view, the positives from him, the minus’s and the interesting parts.
Before the cyclops comes:
Positives-There are plenty of sheep, there’s milk and there is a table filled with food. Polyphemus will probably show us hospitality and my men want to stay here and dine. While he is out we can be ready for dinner, and a hot meal will be a wonderful change instead of salty sea food.
Minus-The door of the cave is very big, meaning that Polyphemus must be larger than a real human. If he turns out to be horrible, there does’t seem to be any other escape route.
Interesting-The table is set for dinner, I can hear sheep and there is a lot of blood in the cave.
When the cyclops is here:
Positive-He seems to like the wine I gave him. He has promised to eat me last and he has believed that my name is Nobody. Polyphemus is now asleep and there is a tree that we have sharpened into a point to blind him.
Minus-Polyphemus is huge and he has barred the entrance to the cave. He has eaten almost all of my men and will eat us all if we don’t do something about it.
Interesting- He likes wine, falls asleep easily and really loves his sheep.
When Polyphemus has been blinded:
Positive-He is blind. We have escaped by holding onto the bellies of his pet sheep, while he let them out. When the other neighbouring cyclops’s came to see what was causing the noise, they fled without helping Polyphemus because when they asked who had hurt him he replied Nobody, the name I gave him.
Minus-He is still harmful and he is throwing rocks on our ship. He has prayed to Poseidon, god of the sea and Polyphemus’s father that we should never return home. Poseidon is a formidable enemy, given the fact that we must travel by sea and he is the god of the sea.
Interesting-After hearing my name when I boasted on the ship, he instantly cried out that when he was a young boy a fortune teller had told him that someday he would be blinded by a man named Odysseus. He also uttered a prayer to his father only after I had told him my name. Polyphemus never asked how we escaped, nor why we came to his shore.
Very comprehensive answer Kelsey 🙂
Some good thinking Chloe 🙂
Joanna, I know you are capable of giving more detailed answers.
Why do you feel sorry for them Chelsea?
Good PMI Zak 🙂
