I've never read any of Rick Riordan books before, But when I read The Lightning Thief I actually liked it. I liked how you describe each event that was happening. And how you would tell us what the characters were doing, where they were at, and the character names that were in that event. One thing I really liked is how you went into specific details in your book. While I was reading your book it felt like I was watching a movie because it had some much detail. There were some parts that I didn't like, but other than those parts the book was good. I also didn't like one of the characters, The character that I didn't like was Gabe Percy step-dad. The reason I don't like Gabe is that he's rude to Percy, Gabe basically treats Percy as his slave.
Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief is a story of a boy in high school who has below average grades in a below average household, where he lives with his mother and a nasty old man who abuses his mom. One day while he was away on a school field trip, his life gets completely destroyed, and thrown into a spiral of Greek gods and prophecies. Where he meets a girl who shows him what it
Everyone’s lives are changed by other people’s actions. In Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, there are many characters who change throughout the book. Zusak shows many changes in his complex characters, which are usually influenced by other people/things. For example, Hans’ life is saved by switching seats with Reinhold Zucker and the ally bombers kill most of the people on Himmel Street. But they are not just physically affected by others; people’s identities can be affected. In Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief the character’s identities are shaped by outside forces; the chief of which, being Adolf Hitler.
The plot is great, it has a lot of action, and suspense. I also like the way Hinton describes the characters in detail, and makes you feel like you can actually see the character when she describes them. I would definitely recommend the teachers to keep teaching it because the novel has a good moral to it. It teaches you to not judge anyone immediately, how violence only makes things worse, and how to solve your problems. My favorite character is Johnny because he reminds me of myself. He sacrificed his life to save the children trapped in the church, and he stood up for Ponyboy and himself when he stabbed Bob. The symbols and allusions in the book are meaningful like when Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold right before he dies. It’s a reference to Robert Frost’s Nothing Gold Can
In the book The Lighting Thief, Percy who is also in The Lost Hero is a troubled child who grows up in a one-parent family. He goes to a special school for kids who got expelled from their old school. Percy is not the smartest kid, he has dyslexia and he cannot read very well. In the book when Percy finds out that he is a demigod, he fought a monster with his teacher and then later was taken to Half Blood Hill after fighting one of his classmates who is really is an air sprit (Riordan 57). In both of the novels all of the main characters friends find out that they are Half Bloods as well. This just shows how much Percy and Jason are a like and how there childhood was very similar. Another evaluation I can make about The Lost Hero is that the plot is almost the exact same as the book The Lighting Thief. In The Lighting Thief the main character discovers that he is a Half Bloods and all of his friends around him find out that they are also Half Bloods. After this they are taken to Half Blood Hill where they are taught about one of there parents, and they also find out there special ability. Then throughout the story the kids go on an adventures across the nation to help one of there ancestors. In The Lighting Thief they go and try to save Percy’s mom who was captured by Hades. Then in The Lost Hero the kids go across the country to save Hera who was captured by Tellus
I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested
It captured my attention from the beginning. I like how the Rand was descriptive words to help me have an image of what was happening in the novel. I like the story line. I like the idea of someone breaking way from everyone else and being different from others. That they are able to think for themselves and that it is ok to be different from others. I also liked how the novel had some romance because I do enjoy romance novels. The Language Police written by Diane Ravitch, I did not quit enjoy the book. I do not really like books like that. I do not recommend this book if you are not interested in how the bias panel chooses stories for children. I do recommend the novel, Anthem. It gives the reader a sense of individualism, there is a story behind
I, personally, loved the author's writing, although I did not really understand why she structured the book like so. With each chapter changing different perspectives and stories, it was kind of hard to remember which chapter went with another considering the chapters where out of order. With each story, I was a little annoyed that they just suddenly ended at the end of the chapter. It made me want to read more and more trying to find the next chapter that went with that person's story. It was also kind of difficult to connect the stories. Other than that, she did a marvelous job grabbing my attention. I loved the analogies that she included in the stories. For example, on page 216- 217, one of the mothers told her daughter about a turtle that eats her tears and then creates birds that laugh
As the overall book, I actually kind of liked it because it was kind of hard to understand because they couldn’t use “I” and I like challenges. They had to use “We” instead of using “I” to explain they self or the story. The book was okay as a whole but still kind of hard to understand I got kind of irritated after a while, while I was reading the book because of the way it was written.
Once you read one it’s best to read the next so you can keep reading all of the great adventures and rescuing they do. Additionally, I would also recommend to young teenagers about 13-15 who are looking for a good book series to read. That way they would have books to read for a couple months or so without stressing about finding a book. Finally, I would recommend this book to anyone who has previously read any Percy Jackson books. This is because they are a little similar but different when it comes to powers and adventures. That is who I would recommend this book too. I rate this book a 10 because of the way it was written. Each page would have more and more details about that part in the book. If they were in a cell, they would describe the cell. Another thing i really liked about this book is how intriguing it was. When I reading one page it was so interesting I would want to read the next on,then the next one, then the next one, then the I flipped the last page. The book was so good i finished it in two days. This is why I would definitely rate this book a
One thing that I like about the book is that Eragon has continued his training.I also like that Christopher has added Roran to the story. I also like how they added some more conflicts to the story. One thing I don’t like is that they make the chapters so short. Also I don’t like that Sloan refuse to give Roran his blessing to marry his daughter. Also that there is so much conflict in Carvahall that most people can’t focus on what they need to
The Book Thief starts out with a gloomy kinda character who starts off giving a truthful yet harsh fact. When you keep reading you realize that character is the narrator. The narrator in The Book Thief is Death. Death likes to observe colors so he can give himself a distraction. His favorite color is a very dark dark chocolate-colored sky. He uses these colors because he can't stand to look at the left over humans ( the survivor) but from time to time he fails. Death tells the story through his eyes. He tells you about the souls that he took. He tells you about the book
I liked the book because i thought their was a lot of detail added into the story also i think that it was kind of neet that their was good characters
I really liked the book. It was very enjoyable to read. I would recommend it to my friends, because I think they
Rick Riordan did an amazing tale with this novel. Filled with short stories you learn a lot about each of the Greek gods, while keeping entertain with Percy’s side quotes. From Aphrodite
What I loved about this book is the changing narrator. One chapter could have Bianca as the narrator another could be from the eyes of Lucrezia Borgia. This makes it really interesting to be in the mind of so many different and complex characters. I warn you now do not try to guess what is going to happen throughout the book because it is very likely that the assumptions and guesses you make will be wrong and you will end up asking over and over to yourself "What just happened?" Another thing that I like about Maguires work is that I never see anything coming, with his jumps through time and the sudden switch of narrator make it so that important plot points come whizzing by. His pacing is elegant he takes the time to introduce you to Montefiore
