Step 1: Review the poem “Where I’m From” by George Ella Lyons below.

“Where I’m From”

By George Ella Lyon

I am from clothespins,

from Clorox and carbon-tetrachloride.

I am from the dirt under the back porch.

(Black, glistening

it tasted like beets.)

I am from the forsythia bush,

the Dutch elm

whose long gone limbs I remember

as if they were my own.



I am from fudge and eyeglasses,

from Imogene and Alafair.

I'm from the know-it-alls

and the pass-it-ons,

from perk up and pipe down.

I'm from He restoreth my soul

with cottonball lamb

and ten verses I can say myself.



I'm from Artemus and Billie's Branch,

fried corn and strong coffee.

From the finger my grandfather lost

to the auger

the eye my father shut to keep his sight.

Under my bed was a dress box

spilling old pictures.

a sift of lost faces

to drift beneath my dreams.

I am from those moments --

snapped before I budded --

leaf-fall from the family tree.

Read the beginning of Odysseus’s next adventure. When this story begins, Circe has just finished giving Odysseus advice.

As Circe spoke, Dawn mounted her golden throne,

and on the first rays Circe left me, taking

her way like a great goddess up the island.

I made straight for the ship, roused up the men

to get aboard and cast off at the stern. 5

They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks

and all in line dipped oars in the grey sea.

But soon an off-shore breeze blew to our liking –

a canvas-bellying breeze, a lusty shipmate

sent by the singing nymph with sunbright

hair.10

So we made fast the braces, and we rested,

letting the wind and steersman work the ship.

–The Odyssey,
Homer
