The Last Olympian
Setting : The two main cities this book takes place in is mount Olympus and new York. Olympus in this book is actually at the top of a building and has been moved there. Its in the 600th floor. Mount Olympus is where they fight to save the it in the end. Percy Jackson also goes to poseidons palace which his huge and has lots of scenery. The underworld in the story is in central park and the kids are sent by Percys mom over there.
Characters: Percy Jackson again is the main character throughout the series. Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon and is a demi god. He doesn’t know so until he is in his teens. He has powers with water and has a sword called riptide which is his main weapon. Percy Jackson has gotten himself in a bad situation in an attack early in the book and loses his consciousness. Percy then wants to be like luke and not be able to die so he and his friends go to visit Luke the camp counselors mom. Percy is afraid of his future and in a scene where Percy Jackson learns his prophecy Anabeth calls him a coward because he doesn’t want to die. Percy then gets his life saved when he goes in the underworld and gets into a fight cause by Nico. In anothrt battle Percy has a choice of surrendering over Anabeth’s life but Percy doesn’t surrender but Anabeth still lives. Percy takes a lot of risks in the story and they all paid off. His character has matured throughout the story as well.
Anabeth is another main character in the story. She has been Percy Jacksons friend for a while and is the daughter of Athena the goddess of wisdom. She has been in a relationship with Percy Jackson too. Her and percy are very close. When percy Jackson has to decide whether to surrender or not its because Anabeth sacrifi...

...die but it was the wrong scroll and was about Luke instead. Percy could have just gave up and watched Olympus get destroyed but Anabeth convinces him to keep fighting and not to lose hope. Although they had a fight over it Percy did the right thing and didn’t let the fake prophecy fool him.
I did enjoy this book and the series ended in a good fashion. It didn’t have a bad twist or some other kind of negative aspect too it. I did like that they put Kronos in it because he was the god of time in the story and could control time itself. He could pause and freeze time which is a cool ability. They didn’t have much about the titans in the other books so that was cool. The kids have to go on way too many different missions throughout the book and I feel like it was crazy how they were always gone somewhere. Other than that it was worthwhile reading and I enjoyed it.
They started hiding and saw a like a centaur, with a woman’s body from the waist but instead of a horse's lower body it had the body of a dragon and it's hair looked like Medusa's. Percy realized that they were snakes and they were hundreds of vipers moving around, looking for something to
Percy Percy provides the novel with the perfect parallel to Dunstan. He does, however, contrast in many ways to Dunstan. They are best friends, but Percy rivalry results in the formation of the main setting of the novel. Percy also feels more of an attachment to material goods than Dunstan does. He thinks only of himself and is in constant pursuit of total and utter control. Percy was low moral standards in comparison to Dunstan and in some ways, feels he is of a higher stature than other human beings. This awkward relationship between him and Dunstan forms the basis of the novel.

He tends to get kicked out of school but One day he went on a fieldtrip to a museum, which an incident happen and a teacher pulls him over to talk about it but what really happen is that she turn into a greek mythology creature which tries to attack him.

Percy’s relationship with other characters reveal a lot about who he is.The feelings with his mother is that there close. Percy feelings his dad is he thinks he’s a coward and Percy doesn't like his step father. Percy's feelings with his mom is that they are both close because in the text it says “But ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. She baked blue birthday cakes. She mixed blueberry smoothies. She bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop. This—along with keeping her maiden name, Jackson, rather than calling herself Mrs. Ugliano—was proof that she wasn't totally suckered by Gabe. She did have a rebellious streak, like me.” This shows they are close because he calls her mom and cares about
I think that overall the book was an amazing book. It drew me in the entire time and I could not put it down because of that. If any part started to get boring something insane would happen to make it interesting. For example in one part of the book it starts to get a little bit slow because it just talks about search methods a group of Bzrk members were using. Then suddenly a fake swat team busts into the house and kills everyone inside besides one child who ends killing almost all of the fake swat team. Another example was that a girl was sitting on the beach counting and kept counting for a while. Then suddenly she gets kidnapped and brought aboard a ship that is full of crazy people. Those are just some the things that happen throughout the book that keep interested on every page.
He had multiple reasons for doing so: His family was threatened, some of his friends died at his enemy’s hand, and all the “gods”, including Percy’s father Poseidon, were faced with death. “The gods and Mount Olympus will still be destroyed, but it will be much messier. Much, much worse for you and your city. Either way, the Titans will rule" (Riordan 112). With the help of other demigods and Hades, the “god” of the underworld, Percy Jackson battled Kronos, a Titan. Even though Percy and his friends won, it came with a price. Rick Riordan, the author, writes “she [Selena] didn’t breathe again” (Riordan 155) and “The son of Nemesis fell through a fissure that went straight through the heart of the mountain—straight into open air” (Riordan 172). Percy Jackson stopped the Titans from completing their mission, therefore completing his: “We saved the world” (Riordan 196). Afterward, Percy was “heading back to Goode High for my sophomore year” (Riordan
The Lightning Thief is about Percy Jackson, a 12 year old boy who has troubles at home (violent step father) and troubles at school (dealing with ADHD). During what seems like another normal day, he's attacked by his math teacher, only to learn that she is a monster called a harpy. Things only get crazier when he is saved by his best friend Grover, who reveal he himself is not human either, but is in fact a satyr, a creature from Greek myths. Percy learns of a world he never knew existed. He is in fact the son of the Greek god Poseidon, and he is what is called a demi god, half god and half human. Grover takes Percy to Camp Half-Blood, a safe haven for demi gods that are hunted by monsters. There he meets other half bloods, like the daughter
Percy and his friends are in many different settings in the stories, all having their similarities and differences. The one that stands out to me is the Labyrinth. Percy spends the most time in the Labyrinth than any other setting. Also, this one is completely the opposite of the other two settings. In the text it says “We made it a hundred feet before we were hopelessly lost.” (Riordan, 94). This states how they’ve only been walking for a little bit until they were lost. This represents how confusing the labyrinth is. Then, the setting is Camp Half Blood. This is the place where Percy trains for his upcoming battles or events. In Chapter 13, page 226, Percy arrives back at camp, and he is welcomed by familiar faces. This explains how relieving
The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan is a fantasy- adventure novel that is based on Greek mythology. It's the second novel in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Percy Jackson has been having nightmares about his satry friend Grover Underwood. The first dream involving Grover running from an unknown force and hiding in wedding shop. At school a group of Laestrygoians attack Percy and his classmates in a game of dodgeball, but is saved by one of his friends Tyson and Annabeth Chase, one of his friends from camp. Annabeth takes Percy and Tyson to Camp Half Blood, the only safe place for demigods, which are kids who are children of humans and gods. All three of them take the
This man cares more about the wants and needs of the people around him then his own. Percy is brave in the toughest of situations, and stands up for what is right. Percy Jackson has even saved the world twice, by leading armies he organised on his own.
I liked the build up of the story and how they made Michael Vey more powerful than ever and it was shocking. The only thing i disliked was I felt the ending was rushed and could have been spread out more. In the end, there was lots of unanswered questions. For example, what happened to the countries with elgen’s electricity? In all, the seven book series was very enjoyable since the first book. Also, teens and adults who are into sci-fi movies and books would enjoy the vey series because all the main characters have some type of superpower and they use to attack and defend events in the series. Also, the idea of little children becoming heroes is relevant to things that happen in today’s world. This is because lots of children have been there to save or protect things in bad situations. This is also in the Vey series, but on a very different level.To sum up, the Final Spark was a great final book to a great series that was all built on
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.
Today I am going to talk to you about a book that involves Greek and Roman mythology, called The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. The Lost Hero is the first book in the Heroes of Olympus series. Rick Riordan has written many books and is the creator of the Percy Jackson series. The Heroes of Olympus is a sequel to the first series Percy Jackson and The Olympians. Therefore, it has new characters in addition to most of the old characters. You may be wondering who is the “lost hero” that the title refers to. On page 31 the reader finds out two things. The main thing the reader finds out is who the lost hero is and why his girlfriend, Annabeth, is worried. In this selection of the text they are talking about Annabeth. “She’s been looking for one of
This is the true start to Percy’s quest. He made a few friends in the camp and they agreed to go on this journey with him. Those accompanying him were his protector Grover and Athena’s daughter Annabeth. They also get some helpful tools fro...
The fact that Percy Jackson has friends is incredible. It is an unshakable fact that any friend of his within a ten-mile radius will be in a life or death situation with him by dinner, and they are not always as lucky as he is. However, that is getting ahead of ourselves. Over the course of the five-part contemporary young adult series, Percy Jackson & The Olympians, the titular character, Percy Jackson, must embrace his Greek God parentage and save Olympus with the help of his fellow demigods. The aim of this paper is to discuss his Hero’s Journey throughout the series, provide an in-depth character analysis, and draw parallels between Percy and the three classic Greek heroes of mythology: Perseus, Theseus, and Hercules.
