Percy Jackson Essay

The debate of what literature is or how it should be defined is an ongoing battle even today. Many have expressed that literature should be well-written, worthy of study, and also stand the test of time, despite most of this criteria catering towards classical literature written by wealthy white men, while others believe this is all too subjective to work fairly. I personally believe that literature is at least three of the following: An embodiment of the human experience, a reflection of cultural perspective, and the relationship between author and reader.

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.

My character was Percy Jackson and he developed by getting stronger and tougher. Percy was in his Mom’s car with Annabeth and Thalia. They were going to a school named Westover Hall it was a military school. It was because Grover, Percy's best friend called and he was in trouble so he called Percy. Grover was there because he had a task of getting new demigods for the camp. Percy went there with his friend and they found some teachers and the teachers were asking them questions and were suspicious. So Thalia used a spell so they can blend in.

Many books, movies, and TV shows depict a character as the hero. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone isn’t any different from the stories that came from the Babylons. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the first book in the Harry Potter series that was written by the author J. K. Rowling. These books take the readers through Harry’s adventures. Heroes tend to have a different upbringing than those that are not heroes.

Passions drive people, and the townspeople in “The Lottery” and Paul in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” are no different. Each of the members of the unnamed town has a strong passion for tradition. The original black box used for the lottery is described as being, “lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born” (Jackson 251). This sentence gives the reader an understanding that the lottery is an ancient tradition that has become an integral part of the town’s lifestyle. Such a tradition can only be carried on for this length of time if the people are passionate about preserving the tradition. Paul had a passion to be wealthy as a way to prove to his mother that he was lucky. From a young age, he saw that his family always wanted more money to support a better lifestyle, yet

Rick Riordan’s ‘Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief’ focuses on Greek mythology and interprets this into a children’s story. Throughout the story, there are many references and adaptations to mythological tales, and each one is portrayed in a different way. Riordan writes this story as though Hercules, Zeus and Poseidon were still around today, and this would be the effect they would have on people in this day and age.

In one of his temper tantrums, Poseidon realized he was not happy with his ocean domain, and wanted to try and overthrow his brother, Zeus, and become king of the gods himself. Poseidon asked for help from Apollo, the god of light and music. Together, they bound Zeus with chains. Zeus had too much strength and power and freed himself very quickly. Zeus was furious with Apollo and Poseidon. As punishment, he sent them to work as laborers for Laomedon, the king of Troy, a city in what is now considered Turkey. Laomedon promised a very big reward if they could build a wall around the city of Troy. However, after they built the wall, Laomedon refused to honor his agreement and did not pay them for their work. In turn, Poseidon and Apollo sent a plague and a sea monster to destroy the city of Troy. (Gall.)

Andrew Jackson was conceived on March 15, 1767, in the Waxhaws locale on the fringe of North and South Carolina. The definite area of his introduction to the world is dubious, and both states have asserted him as a local child; Jackson himself kept up he was from South Carolina. The child of Irish foreigners, Jackson got minimal formal educating. The British attacked the Carolinas in 1780-1781, and Jackson's mom and two siblings kicked the bucket amid the contention, abandoning him with a long lasting threatening vibe toward Great Britain.

“It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.” (Andrew Jackson). The seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson, is best known for representing the common man and founding the Democratic Party. Often referred to as the “people’s president”, Jackson was popular because of his emphasis on individual liberty, belief in limited (but strong) government, and humble origins. He was proclaimed a hero in the War of 1812, served in various government positions prior to his presidency, and is remembered for his war on the second Bank of the United States and his controversial policies involving the Native Americans.

Ares instilled courage, strength, and endurance to those who prayed to him. Ares preferred to start fights, acting off of impulse and his bloodlust. When

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.

Writers of the Romantic Movement often expressed a spontaneous outpouring of feelings through nature-related symbols and imagery. In “Mutability”, Percy Shelley was no exception to other Romantic writers; he used these impulses of powerful feelings to express the inevitable change that everything in the universe undergoes. Ironically, Shelley claims that the only thing that will remain the same forever is mutability itself. While Shelley claims that everything is changing, he focuses on the mutability of the human species and its individuals. To illustrate humans as mutable, Shelley makes use of poetic elements such as imagery and specified diction. Therefore, “Mutability” ironically shows that the universe, specifically mankind, is

Something we all know about the Greek Gods is that there are a lot of them. From the God of Wine, to the Goddess of childbirth, there is a God or Goddess for everything. The main ones are the twelve with thrones made in Mount Olympus. And whom could be a better story teller of these then Percy Jackson? Percy takes the tales of how the world began, to each god and their personal battles, whether it was in war or love. With some side jests, and remarks for the readers, Percy takes each tale and gives it its own unique twist, keeping you captured till the end.

Hero – Percy Jackson was definitely the hero. He was the one who always gets to fight with the monsters. He was also the one who sacrificed and who always gets nearly killed in the story.

Percy Jackson thinks he is a normal twelve years old student. Well, not normal because he has Dyslexia and ADHD. One day, after encountering a mythological creature, chasing after him for an unknown reason, he learns that he is not ordinary, after all.

He does not have Dyslexia and ADHD, he just has the ability to read Ancient Greek, and act like a warrior. His mother kept
