Recommended: Percy jackson hero analysis

1. My reaction to the title The Son of Neptune was I instantly thought of Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon. The blurb reminded me of the book, The Lost Hero as both the protagonist lost their memory and had to save the world. The cover intrigued me because it was Percy Jackson, but he was holding a mysterious golden eagle.
2. I had mixed feelings while reading this book. I felt happy when Percy, Hazel and Frank overcame another obstacle. I felt doomed when it seemed like the heroes were helpless, but instantly feel relieved when they thought of a plan to conquer the challenge.
3. I like Hazel because she has a dark story behind her. She is supposed to be dead, killed while she attempted to save her mother from Gaea. Hazel has a curse in which …show more content…

I would not change the ending. The ending was perfect in my opinion. Percy defeated Polybotes, the giant, and got elected Praetor. He rested after the battle, Juno appeared in his dream and told him that Jason Grace had earned his trust with the Greeks and they shall bring together the two camps. Percy explained to Reyna, just as he finished, the Argo II prepared to enter Camp Jupiter. “Let me introduce you to my other family.” This line lets us know that Annabeth is on the Argo II along with Jason, Leo and Piper. When the book ended, ideas still surged through my head with curiosity as to what will happen in the next book, The Mark of Athena.
9. I found it confusing when they said the prophecy of seven was found thousands of years ago yet it was only used in this century. I wonder if Octavian will work with Gaea and betray Camp Jupiter.
10. “Octavian shot him a dirty look, then turned to the crowd and smiled like this was all his idea.” My reaction to this quote was a big grin. I was happy to hear this line because this means Octavian cannot become praetor anymore as there can only be two praetors. The camp will be safe from Octavian for now.
11. I fear that Percy will face many more challenging obstacles that demand sacrifice. I fear that Percy will sacrifice himself for Annabeth as she is everything to him. Annabeth also has a terrifying mission to retrieve the Athena Parthenos by

    The book had a few characters that I liked, but a lot of characters that I disliked. For example Yasmine was a character that I disliked. I didn’t like her because she brought pain to Paige’s life. Yasmine and Paige were best friends for months in Sixth grade. They were constantly doing fun activities together, like having sleepovers or planning each other’s birthday parties, but all that was ruined by a mistake Yasmine made. Paige and Yasmine were at a school dance, when

    Once I get past all of the rambling I did in the past paragraphs, I honestly really enjoyed the book. Though it wasn't like most of the other books I’ve read (meaning I didn't cry during the process of reading it), the characters were just as provokingly interesting as the characters in other stories, it was a little edgy and made me want to yell at it, shouting at Sam when she wouldn’t let Tyler play video games with Danny, or Danny when he called to have Sam and Tyler taken to a separate facility. Overall, this book opened me up to something that just isn't a romance novel. This story really shows that there are people with a lot of difficulties in their lives, and that’s what I liked the most about it.

    In my opinion, the book was interesting and surprising, it was like a gust of sadness took over. Willow was probably never happy because she didn't have anyone close to she has to move schools and had to meet new people. Willow was always strong I think she was strong only because mai and dell were there to help her. I also think mai was the only person Willow thought she could talk to because that was one of the only person who was always there for

  • Greek Mythology in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

    1443 Words  | 3 Pages

    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 of the big three gods, Poseidon. He is suffering from dyslexia and ADHD, which could be deliberately added to the character by Riordan, to show he is meant to be a hero, and not to do well in school. This shows that school is not what he is good at, and he is destined to be a hero and save people. The character Grover, who plays Percy’s best friend, parallels a Satyr who is human from the waist up and goat from the waist down and is a companion of wine God, Dionysus, who we later learn, is the camp director for Half-Blood Camp.

    ...w, agonizing death. Percy is a formidable antagonist for one reason: his political connections. He’s related to the governor of state, enabling him to do as he pleases without repercussions. Paul could have dealt with him after the brutal execution of Del out of impulse and rage, but he somehow restrained himself. Perhaps he knew more than the reader, perhaps he knew Percy would face karma eventually. If he would have acted on it, he could have had Percy fired. There was many witnesses at the execution, enough to be on Paul’s side. If Paul had gotten rid of Percy before Del’s execution, life would have gone a lot smoother. Del wouldn’t have suffered as much, and the witnesses wouldn’t be disturbed. Paul and the other guards should have took the initiative and dealt with Percy in the long run before he got out of control.

  • The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

    After reading The Fault in Our Stars, I personally had a different perspective on life, death, and living in the moment. This book teaches readers to live fully and in the present, because you never know how much time you really have left. This novel also taught me that love can overpower anything, and sometimes it can even make you stronger in order to make another person happy. Hazel Lancaster and Augustus Water’s love is one of the most powerful romances I have ever read about. They are a good example of what true love really is and this book was extremely heartwarming to read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a desire to read a beautiful yet tragic romance much different than any other typical love story.

    Over the course of this novel, Percy must embark on a quest to clear his name, much like Hercules had to endure his Twelve Labors. These Twelve Labors would prove to be a recurring theme for Percy throughout the entirety of his five-part series. While Hercules abandoned his quest with Jason for the Golden Fleece, Percy did not, and succeeded where the ancient hero had failed. Hercules was also directly referenced in Titan’s Curse in a flashback by Percy’s new friend and Hesperide Zoe, a goddess entrusted with protecting Hera’s apples which Hercules had stolen. Over the long chain of events throughout the entire series, Percy and his friends encountered and battled numerous monsters that Hercules had originally slain in his Twelve Labors, such as Cerberus, a hydra, the Nemean Lion, the Erymanthian Boar, and cleaning the Aegean stables, home to flesh-eating horses.
