Poseidon is hit and goes down, so he thought. Out of nowhere the floor under Zeus crumbles into a blackhole of water under him. Poseidon from above him starts to smirk. Hades is missing the attention, he throws his mighty trident at his brother. Poseidon moves as swiftly and quickly as the wind but the trident was faster, and cuts his cheek. Poseidon, fures and hurt, he charges at Hades with his mighty trident.

The monster took them away and Percy got scared because he started to see where is Annabeth and Thalia. They were nowhere to be found. Percy went to go find them and he was attacked by the principal named Dr. Thorn and he was the monster. He already knows about Percy and his friends because they have a smell that the monster can

In the book Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, Percy is your typical 12-year-old boy who is a troublemaker in school and lives with his mother’s abusive husband. Percy’s life changes when he accused of stealing Zeus’ master bolt and attacked by monsters. Percy’s mother is killed along the way towards a camp called Camp Half-Blood and trains his heritage as a demigod. Percy is then sent on a heroic quest, with friends, to prove his innocence and along the way, rescue his mother from Hades. After a long and arduous journey of being chased by monsters, Percy managed to return the lightning bolt and save his mother. Percy is then betrayed by a close friend, as the friend was the thief, and escaped while warning them of the true mastermind.

So, when Grover, Annabeth (the daughter of Athena), and him encounter her garden she turns a lady that was holding Annabeth’s arm into stone. Medusa is then trying to tempt Annabeth too also look into her eyes, right when Annabeth gets tired of closing her eyes Percy distracts Medusa. She then goes and tries to turn him into stone. For instance, when she says “Let me see your eyes. I hear they are bluer than the Circassian Sea. Open them! Or my hungry babies will have to open them for you.” She has snakes as hair and she is warning him that if he doesn’t open his eyes on his own she is going to make the snakes open his eyes. However, he manages to not look into her eyes and ultimately ends up chopping her head off with his pen that turns into a sword. Later, he has to beat the hydra dragon.

that Greek gods exist, and have been closely observing western culture and ideas. The author draws parallels to Percy’s life, who is an American teenager, with that of Greek heroes. This parallel helps the readers to relate to the book, essentially engaging the young readers to learn about Greek mythology and the lessons of life that it teaches, in a not so bland way. The protagonist of the novel, Percy Jackson, is revealed to be special in some way. This section also develops other supporting characters, such as Chiron, Percy’s teacher, who also was mentor to Hercules and Grover, who is Percy’s sidekick, a multi-dimensional character with his own past, hopes and concerns. The association of Chiron and Percy foretells that Percy will carry on heroic deeds in future. Percy fights Minotaur, a monster that even Theseus fought and defeated. In the process of defeating Minotaur, Percy loses his mother, which he feels was his last hope to returning to his normal human life. By drawing parallels between Percy and various heroes of Greek Mythology, the author shows Percy in the light of a hero. A hero who is yet to prove his worth in the Camp Half-Blood. His encounter with Clarisse at a bathroom in camp, allows him to show his strength, which was very similar to that of his father Poseidon, but also instils in some ways fear amongst the camp

Another example of a struggle for power is that Hades thought that Percy had stolen both his Helm of Darkness and Zeus’ master bolt so that it could start a war between them. The novel states, “You took the master bolt and my helm. Had I not sent my Fury to discover you at Yancy Academy, Poseidon might have succeeded in hiding his scheme to start a war. But now you have been forced into the open. You will be exposed as Poseidon’s thief, and I will have my helm back!” This quote shows that Hades thought that Percy was Poseidon’s thief who stole his Helm of Darkness and the master bolt in an attempt to start a war between them. Both the novel and the myth connect with each other through the theme, the struggle for

Percy, on the other hand wants to find the lightning bolt to save his mother from death.

Percy wakes up at a place called camp half-blood. Camp half-blood is created by magical borders in order to protect demigods so they can continue to train while being safe. After entering camp half-blood Percy learns about his identity of being a demigod. A demigod is child from a human and Greek god parent. He learns that he’s the son of one the three major Gods, Poseidon. Also, that his mother is very much alive but is kidnapped by Hades one of the three major Gods as well. Percy then goes into training and utilizes his dragon to be a positive trait that helps him settle into his new life. As his dyslexia functions for mythology and his ADHD helps him keep moving in

This is when Percy realized that it was Ares all along trying to start a war in the Olympus. He wasn’t the one who stole the items, but it was him who used the temper of the two gods, Poseidon and Zeus, knowing that they would eventually start a war.

When the cyclopes were locked in Tartarus, Zeus was fighting the Titans. Gaea told Zeus to go to Tartarus and unlock the cyclopes and also their brothers, the Hekatoncheires. Zeus freed them. The cyclopes were so grateful that they made a lightning bolt for Zeus, a cap of invisibility for Hades and a trident for Poseidon. With the Cyclopes help the Olympians won the Titanomachy.

Dodds, and Percy’s grades get worse and, until he realises that he will not be back for the 7th grade at Yancy Academy, but he persuades himself to do well in latin so Mr.Brunner doesn’t think he is a slacker. He then goes to Mr. Brunner for some last minute, help but eavesdrops on a conversation between Mr. Mrunner, and Percy’s best friend Grover, who is crippled, about Percy, and keeping him alive until fall.

Grover then gets worried and tries to get Percy on the bus, but Percy just stares at the 3 old ladies, and tell grover that he saw one of them cut some string with a pair of golden scissors, and just as those words came out of his mouth Grover started to worry even more than he did before. Percy then takes a cab the rest of the way home to his mother’s apartment When he gets there his step dad asks him for money, so he forks over the change from the cab fare. His mother then comes home, and tells Percy that they were going to Montauk, which is a beach where she met his father. He then goes to sleep, but suddenly gets awaken, by grover knocking on the

All humans go through a stage of maturity, some handle it better than others and it is caused and affected by many different situations like, poverty, location, age, or feelings. I think that all four stories, Marigolds, Visit to Grandmother, Summer of Truth and Flight all have to do with maturity. Both Marigolds and Flight have characters that face maturity, going from being immature to becoming mature. While Visit to Grandmother and Summer of Truth the characters are immature in the beginning of the story and by the end they don't end up changing for the better.

Percy Jackson isn't expecting freshman orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears on campus, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to worse.

It was an ordinary day of the year, just like any other day; however, what made it exceptional was the unpredictable, in every aspect, event that took place and the harsh ramifications that followed. Precisely, Ramadan was coming to an end, which not only promised the celebration of Eid, but also, many social gatherings between extended families. Perhaps two days before Ramadan concluded, our comprehensive family on the mom’s side was invited to my paternal grandmother’s house for iftar, the opening of the fast. This determined tons of festivity, yet mischief, expecting thirty one children, ranged from age one to sixteen, caged in a double story house. Along with that came a
