   Naughty naughty Kool-aid

Ok. I must be the weirdest kid...I compared Hercules to Black Cherry Kool-aid....I just read over my paragraph in full for the first time. My sis read it, and she laughed at me...
I had to write a paragraph for my final exam in Mythology Class, relating any form of food product to any mythological character. Have fun reading this:

Mythology Final

Black cherry Kool-aid is the coolest; so is one of the most famous and recognizable mythological character known to man : Heracles, or Hercules. There are many way I can relate some aspects of Hercules’ life to the very essence of this wonderful, refreshing beverage.
For my final, I chose my favorite flavor: Black Cherry. This drink resembles the poison that Pain and Panic gave the infant to drink during the well-known Disney movie. But that’s not the version of this character’s life we’re looking at. Ha-ha.
The name Heracles means "glorious gift of Hera" in Greek (perseus.tufts.edu). When I’m running around on a hot sunny day, getting thirsty and tired, I head to the house. What do I do? I go straight to the kitchen to grab a refreshing drink of Kool-aid. The exhaustion that the Kool-aid RELIEVES represents Hercules’ twelve labors. He never got a break, so he must have been very tired. The flavor of my drink, Black Cherry, resembles death; the killing sprees that he went on, including the murder of his own family and wife.
Cherries symbolize the sweetness of character that is derived from good works. In Hercules’ case, it might resemble his repent. The fact that he felt remorse for the things he had done is a factor that lets people think he really was a nice guy. It is often referred to as "the fruit of Paradise" in reference to the destination of those who perform good deeds. Back to the Disney version: Hercules wanted to do good deeds to prove he was a hero.
Everyone should enjoy this glorious drink of delicious Yum. Refresh yourself as if you have just finished those excruciating twelve labors…Because cleaning out those huge stables can be very stinky and, well, tiresome.
