Reading Log for the Island of the Wind God:
The men and Odysseus land on the Island of Aeolia, the land of the Wind God, Aeolus. Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag of the trade winds, which would keep Odysseus from reaching home. He tells Odysseus not to open the bag for the trade winds will be released, keeping Odysseus from reaching Ithaca. Odysseus stashes the bag under the seats without telling the men the contents in the bag and sets sail for home. The men are curious about what might be in the bag and thinking that it is filled with gold, open it. Unfortunately, the men open the bag just as they are in sight of Ithaca. The trade winds are released and blow the ships off the coast of Ithaca and back out to sea.
The theme of the story is__________________________.
Ignorance leads to destruction.
Distrust can lead to destruction.
