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.

Each character is different in the story, but some can be really similar. The four protagonists are Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson. All of them go to the same camp, which is how they met. Grover and Tyson are both not humans. Grover is a satyr, and Tyson is a Cyclops. Percy and Annabeth have the most in common compared to anyone else. Sometimes, things can change like how Annabeth hates Rachel. An example of change is in the book, when it states, “To my surprise, Rachel and Annabeth started up a conversation as we walked.” (Riordan, 295). Annabeth changed because when they talked, they were able to get to know each other better, so Annabeth doesn’t really have any hatred against Rachel now. Also, in the beginning of the book, they trusted

Rick Riordan is an amazing author that is well known for his amazing books and novels. Rick Riordan wrote several novels, but his most famous series is the Percy Jackson. The Lightning Thief was the beginning of the series. Percy had to accept how he is a half-blood and has to return the stolen lightning bolt from Hades before a war starts. The authors style is fiction and greek mythology.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is about a 12 year old boy named Percy Jackson who's getting chased by mythological monsters and his two friends Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood a satyr who is Percy's protector. Percy was in 6th grade and had just gotten out of school for summer break, when he found out that he was a half-blood, his mother was Sally Jackson, a mortal and his father was Poseidon, king of the sea. Percy got sent to camp Half-Blood for protection from monsters and got assigned a mission to find a lightning bolt that the gods think he stole and prevent a war between the gods, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus.

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 Jackson from Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief displays many qualities of being a hero. According to the article, “The Hero’s Journey”, there are many different stages of being a hero. Percy acquires many characteristics of being a hero. Some of the stages that Percy relates to are: “The Ordinary World”, “The Call to Adventure”, “Allies/ Helpers”, and “Master of Two Worlds/ Restoring the World”. Therefore, Percy Jackson is presented as a hero from the different stages of “The Hero’s Journey”.

Percy Jackson is the main character in this story, who is a demi god, who mortals are after. His name is short for Perseus and his father is one the big three gods, Poseidon. He is suffering from dyslexia and ADHD, which could be deliberately added to the

Percy Jackson and the Story of Perseus in Greek Mythology are both very well known. But taking a closer look they are more than a movie and a greek legend. They are stories that draw off each other and change the story to fit the time. For Percy it’s Modernized, but for Perseus it was in the Greek era. In this essay you will learn that Percy Jackson draws on the original legend of Perseus by generally keeping the plot the same and the characters. Although, the characters are a bit more modernized to be easier to connect to. It changes the legend in adding on a couple of other greek legends to add depth. This is shown through the plot modernization that takes place in real places, the Characters that are modernized but are the same on the inside,

The novel is an extremely immersive experience owing to the protagonist - Percy Jackson - regularly breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the readers. It builds up suspense by foreshadowing the events to come, giving the readers a taste of the challenges awaiting Percy in the pages ahead. Percy is portrayed as the modern-day equivalent of classical heroes. Like the past heroes, Percy is treated differently by those around him, and has trouble fitting in with them. An absent father and a lack of knowledge of his own past help draw further parallels with the classical 'hero' figure. The significant people in Percy's life appear to know something about Percy that he doesn’t know and seek to protect him. Percy, however, is a stubborn

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

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 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. In this latest installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half-Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos' army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders.

Along the way Percy will confront powerful enemies, find out the truth about the lost god Pan, and face the Titan lord Kronos’s most terrible secret. After the adventure at Percy’s birthday, Poseidon appeared. Then, Nico came and told Percy that he knew how to defeat the titan armies for good.

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
