Percy Jackson And The Sea Of Monsters

We have all read books about heroes and monsters and princesses in towers, one of these books that I have read is Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. Many people like this book, and here are a couple reason why I loved reading this story. Including how the hero defeats the evil, and how he saves the world. A modern life high school boy who gets thrown into chaos.

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

The characters in my book are very interesting, there are 3 main characters. Percy, Grover, and Annabeth. Percy is the son of Poseidon who is a Greek God. A powerful God who rules over all the oceans and everything in them. Then there is Percy's best friend Grover, is a Satyr, that is someone who is half horse & half man. Annabeth is the daughter of Athena who is a Greek Goddess.There are other important characters as well in the story like Percy's mom, or the other Gods. Percys personality in the beginning of the book is best described as shyness or acts like he doesn't care, but over the book he expands out of that stage and becomes more outgoing and courageous. Grover is fearless, he has to be because he is Percys protector. But

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.

Percy Jackson - Percy Jackson is the twelve-year-old protagonist of The Lightning Thief. He is the narrator and the hero of The Lightning Thief. At the beginning of the story, Percy's life perspective is pretty negative. Percy is a 12-year-old boy who has been expelled from every school he has attended in the past 6 years. Percy is dyslexic and has ADHD. A scene that best shows this is when he says, “I could start at any point in my short and miserable life to prove it.” When he begins telling his story, he's a bit grumpy, angry, or even depressed. Percy comes from a very humble background, meaning he is grateful for the simple joys in life. Percy never knew his dad. His mother eventually married a guy named Gabe Ugliano, Percy calls him Smelly Gabe. They live in a small apartment in Queens, NY, and Gabe enjoys making Percy's life and Percy's mom's life miserable.

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

He goes to school where he struggles to read and being hyperactive. This is Percy’s dragon. It’s something that he has to deal with at school and is what sets him apart from the other students. However, during a school field trip to a museum of Greek and Roman exhibitions being dyslexic was not the problem as words and mythology seem to make sense to him. During the field trip he sees his friend Grover being picked on. His impulsiveness makes him push the bully into a fountain. He is caught by his teacher Mrs. Dodds who takes him away from the others. Mrs. Dodds suddenly turns into a fury and attacks Percy with remarks about being a thief. A fury is one of Hades creatures: a bat like monster with wings and sharp claws. His ordinary world gets stranger when Percy and his mother are intruded by Grover. Grover warns him he’s in danger and is here to protect him. Because after all it is Grover’s duties to look after Percy as a satyr. A satyr is a person with goat's ears, tail, legs, and horns. Suddenly a bull like monster called a Minotaur comes chasing after the three and the Minotaur accomplishes in “killing” Percy’s mother. Percy then defeats the Minotaur and goes

There was a boy named Percy Jackson. He was the son of Posiedon and a brave hero, having saved the world once before. He had two friends named Grover and Annabeth. The yall attended a camp for demigods called camp Half-Blood. Percy thought he wa the only son of Posiedon until he discoved his half brother Tyson. When they were at tthe camp catching up Luke, the son of Hermes and the lightning thief, poisioned Thalia, the tree that fueled the protective barrier around the camp. This caused Mr. D, Dionysus to send demigods after the golden fleece. This was not Percy’s quest, however he took Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson and headed to the sea of monsters to find the fleece. On the way Luke kidnapped Grover because he needed a satyr to find the fleece

The brave Percy snaps off a horn of the beasts and defeats him with it. The Minotaur bursts which are very similar to what happened to Mrs. Dodds in the museum. Percy drags Grover over to a nearby farmhouse. When he wakes up, a girl is standing over him talking about the summer solstice. When everyone is awake, Grover thanks Percy for saving him by rewarding him with the Minotaur's horn. They come to the reality that Percy's mother is gone; Grover feels responsible for the loss.Percy immediately picks up on where they are. Greek buildings and architecture are everywhere. Grover shows Percy Mr. D, the camp director, and Annabeth, the girl responsible for taking care of Percy and randomly talking about the summer solstice. Percy notices Mr. Brunner, except he's in a wheelchair now. He welcomes Percy to Camp Half-Blood. Mr. Brunner wants to be called Chiron which is his real name. Nothing is making sense to Percy yet, so Chiron continues to explain the Greek Gods exist, and Mr. D is actually Dionysus, god of wine. Chiron says the gods have migrated from Greece and Rome to the United

He faces many altercations with Greek monsters and gods. He faced a massive bull-man, furies, Hades, Ares and more. For example, on the bus Grover, Annabeth and Percy were traveling west on, the three furies tried to attack them. Annabeth gave Percy her hat capable of making you invisible, but he removed it and fought the furies instead of escaping without his

In the second book of Percy Jackson & The Olympians, it focuses even more on the feeling of adventure and teamwork. At the start of the book, it mentions that Grover, Percy's friend, is in danger while trying to find Pan, the god of wilderness, and that the tree protecting Camp Half-Blood from monsters is poisoned. The book also mentions Percy's cyclops brother, Tyson, that Percy is often embarrassed to have. When the camp gathers up and talks about the situation of the poisoned tree, Percy and Annabeth stand up to talk about the Golden Fleece, a tool that can be used to heal or reform anything. The two ask for a quest, but instead of them receiving the mission, the daughter of Ares, Clarrise, was chosen. After Clarrise departs, Percy, Tyson,

Percy Jackson is 11 years old and is known to not be one of the best students. He has ADHD, Dyslexia and has been kicked out of sever schools he has attended. The one subject he seems to be good at is history and mythology which is good because these two things will come to dictate the world which Percy lives in. During a field trip for his history class Percy is shocked to find out that he is actually a greek demigod. Unfortunately he only learns this when his teacher turns out to be a monster from classical antiquity sent to kill him. From here on Percy is plunged into a mythical world ruled by the greek gods and goddesses and it is up to him to restore order in this world and ensure the safety of western civilization. The book is good for

After the encounter, Percy is in Camp Jupiter being interviewed by the camp’s leader, Reyna, to test his trust which Percy openly admits

The film does a good job of accurately representing some of the minor characters from mythology as well. Percy’s friend Grover is a satyr, and displays a strong interest in many of the females in the film. Chiron, leader of the centaurs makes an appearance as well, disguised as one of Percy’s teachers. He later reveals himself to be a centaur and the leader of the Demigod Camp that Percy travels to. Charon also makes an appearance, and only allows Percy and his friends to travel to the Underworld once they have paid him. As mentioned before, Medusa appears in the film, and expresses her anger towards Athena for transforming her into a monster. She also tells Percy that she ‘used to date [Poseidon],’ which is a more family-friendly version of the Roman story where Poseidon rapes her in Athena’s temple.
