Multiple Plot Lines In The Heroes Of Olympus

And look!” Two shelters were in position, but shaky. This one was a ruin. “And they keep running off.

Mary Shelley uses the monster to show the harmful effects of Victor Frankenstein’s crime of nature. When Dr. Frankenstein first creates the monster and the monster first moves on its own, coming to life, the "watery eyes, the yellow skin that barely covered the work of muscles” terrify him, and he immediately flees. This first reaction to the monster is part of the foreshadowing of the terrible deeds that follow the creation of this crime against nature. Frankenstein’s reaction to the monster is not uncommon as everywhere the monster goes, people react similarly. The monster tries to befriend a blind old man living in a cottage, knowing the old man cannot see him, and therefor will not have an awful reaction to his appearance.

Frank was not given the care of a mother, resulting him to grow up being more emotionless and

These details help understand the coming events and when we understand these events it brings clarity to the narrative. The most important turning point was foreshadowed in the novella, even though some were shown differently from the ones that followed, as well as helping us

This focus on eyes alerts the reader to pay close attention not only to Hazel’s eyes and what he sees, but also what others may be seeing. Even Hazel’s name is linked to the imagery of eyes, as hazel is both a common eye color and Hazel’s vision is often “hazy” or stuck in a “haze”.

It also allows Frank to know more about his family and why he had an absent father in his life. After listening to his father’s story, Frank mentions,

“Mine eyes are made the fools o’ th’ other senses Or else worth all the rest. I see thee still, And, on thy blade and dudgeon, gouts of blood, Which was not so before. There’s no such thing. It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. Now o’er the one-half world Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse The curtained sleep.

They struggle with the internal conflict about whether or not they will see this side of him again and also wanting it so badly. Frank has very similar sentiments to that of the poem. He has the same conflicts in his head about wanting the ‘good’ side of his father, but always having to deal with the bad (drunk) side. Frank knows his father does these things and must deal with the weight of this knowledge on his own, as he does not have a strong support system from the adults in his life. In the poem you can tell that the author knows that deep down their father loves them, but is upset that it is difficult to see.

The monsters didn’t seem believable and when Frank turned into various animals to scare the Kateblopes. Another example is when Percy and Annabeth meet the Arais. They say that “ You cannot destroy us “ and “ They’re spirits of curses” ( Riordan, 227) The Arai’s are being controlled as a curse under a spell. Therefore, this is important to the theme because it shows that there is going to be a struggle for Percy and Annabeth.

A hero has many definitions from a Mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability, an illustrious warrior, and many other definitions. What makes a hero and how does one remain loyal to those he trusts around him? “To be heroic is to be courageous enough to die for something; to be inspirational is to be crazy enough to live a little.” ― Criss Jami, Venus in Arms. Growing up I’ve read books that were bigger than me, like mythological books because it had adventures and heroic people that would risk their lives for another.

“We have to get them out of there!” I heard voices yelling out in the distance, but was to lightheaded to know where they were coming from.

In the film Catch Me If You Can, the director Steven Spielberg effectively uses camera techniques, flashbacks, colour and mise-en-scene to develop the themes of family, belonging and consequences. Frank is committing a life full of crimes to try and bring his parents back together. In this scene, Frank has been caught and is on an airplane back to where he originally lived. During this time, Frank finds out that his father has died and his mother has a new family. This makes Frank feel heartbroken and he feels like he has lost all sense of family and belonging.

“I saw the dull eye of the creature open” This passage constantly shows the bathos of the commotion Victor Frankenstein has made over the making of his creature, like in the quote, where he, instead of saying how dazzling the eyes could have looked, defiles the ‘monster’ and says that its eyes were a ‘dull yellow’. The passage also juxtaposes light and dark, to show how something that is intended to be so good and revolutionary can turn out terrible, like the story in the Bible where Satan attempts to replace God.

In this essay I will examine how the monster’s looks and actions reflect the predominant cultural feelings that those who look different are bad, evil or incapable of normal feelings. That somehow because one may look different from the rest of us there must be something emotionally as well as physically wrong with them.

When Day hunts Junes brother, he knows he did not kill him when really Thomas did. But from Junes point of view Day killed her brother. That shows an example of multiple plot lines. Another way the author put multiple plot lines in was the switching off chapters. One chapter will be the protagonist June, another will be the protagonist Day, and they switch off from each of the character's perspectives.
