Dear Zeus, April,3,2009

If I could replace any god or goddess I would want to replace Poseidon. I would replace Poseidon because he's the god of the sea and I love the sea and everything in it.

One of the reasons I would want to replace Poseidon is because I love to go swimming in the summer. The biggest reason that I love the summer is just because I go to the beach literally every day. Whenever I go to the beach I go straight into the water even if it's cold. Sometimes when my friend comes with me he asks me how I can go under the water even when it's freezing and I just tell him that it's a fast way to get used to it (like the coldness). My mom calls me a fish because when we go to the beach I stay in the water the whole time.

Another reason why I'd like to replace Poseidon is because ever since I was young I wondered what it would be like if I could live under water. I've always wanted to live under water. I'd like to live underwater because I love all the sea animals that live in the water and the sea shells and the rocks and technically everything that's in the water. My favorite sea animal is a sting ray. I like sting rays because I like how they have a poison tail and I like the way they swim. If I lived under water I could play with them and they wouldn't hurt me because Poseidon is their ruler and they don't hurt him.

Another example is that Poseidon is moody and has a temper and I do too. If I don't get my way then I will get covered with a blanket of revenge. Like Poseidon,I want everyone to listen to me and not get me angry.

Lastly the message I was trying to tell in this letter would be that I think that I would make a good replacement for Poseidon.

Sincerely,

Jema
