Percy’s experiences align with the Hero’s Journey because of these three reasons. First, separation happens to Percy for a while. I know this because in the book it says that he has ADHD and dyslexia so that is what makes him separated from the rest of society. Then, the call to adventure happens. I know this because there is a danger that starts them on their journey and the danger is the monsters that come for them.
According to the article “A Teacher's Guide to The Lightning Thief” the three main traits of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive. The first reason why Percy Jackson does not have ADHD is because Percy Jackson does not get distracted easily. He stayed concentrated when fighting the centaur. He also fought without getting distracted while fighting the evil
I agree that Percy Jackson has ADHD because one symptom matches him perfectly , he doesn't focus. Like in the book The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson gets in fights quite frequently. In some of the fights you can see Percy not quite focusing on the fight right then and there. In the book The Lightning Thief during
However, he is blessed to have these conditions. His ADHD and ADD help him stay hyperactive in wherever he is. This book was based on Greek Mythology, and there were many wars at that time. Percy is falsely accused for stealing a lightning bolt, and wants to prove that he didn't. Percy Jackson is persevere in many ways.
Furthermore, going back to the novel “Percy Jackson And The Olympians The Lightning Thief” in my previous essay for Percy jackson i mentioned how Percy jackson became full of himself after finding out he is the son of Poseidon, (me) saying this “In chapter one Percy jackson is all to himself and does not try to “cause” any trouble. As it states on page 5 “ ‘Mr Jackson,’ he said ‘did you have a comment?’ My face was totally red. I said ‘No sir’. In this part of the novel ( the beginning)
Another way I know this was that Percy had ADHD and Dyslexia. “This thing of dyslexia is getting worse. ”(Percy Jackson and the lightning thief, scene 4) also refers to Perseus by showing how Perseus didn’t fit in on his island. “ The king was trying to get rid of Perseus because he wanted to be able to drag
Percy Jackson is a dyslexic boy who gets in lots of trouble. He is an only child living in upstate New York raised by his and has ADHD. That’s not all now that Percy finds out he is a half-blood he is in danger, because he is accused of stealing Zeus Master bolt. Now Percy must go on a quest to return the bolt to Zeus, but on the way he will fail to save what matters the most.
Percy is very strong emotionally and he always makes sure that his friends and family are safe. When Grover was captured and sent to Polyphemus, Percy knew that he had to go and save him as well as retrieve the golden fleece so he could save everyone at camp. Percy cares about his friends and he will be willing to do the right thing and save them even if it means he gets in trouble. Percy Jackson wasn't
In Rick Riordan’s novel, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, a troubled adolescent does not really know what to think of his life as he has constantly been expelled from schools across New York. The protagonist in which the novel is named for appears to suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and dyslexia which come off as disabilities in the real-world. Riordan’s casting of ADHD and dyslexia as markers for demi-god status created an atmosphere for the readers that possessing one or both of these qualities does not guarantee failure and that it is possible to succeed. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, more commonly referred to as ADHD, is diagnosed before a child turns seven years old. Symptoms for this disorder include
Percy Jackson is more of a classical hero he is really just a normal person except the he has one big power which is the fact that he is a demigod. For every demigod the big power that they have could be different for example Percy in the film is the son of Poseidon which mainly gives him the powers of water, but in the story of Perseus he is the son of Zeus his powers would be in the area of lightning and things close to that. Perseus’s hero type would be the same but in that story he get a lot of help from the gods instead of using his powers. But even if he didn’t use his powers that would still make him a classical hero with his courage. Also in the normal world Percy is just a normal student in high school.
From Yosso’s article I choose to do it on Culture Capital Narrative on Familial Capital. Familial Capital is a capital about information on family and extended family that has given your life by their own memories and cultural values. Familial Capital is a theme I can really connect well with my family and myself. My family has given me information on their on life and personal experiences they have gone through and cultural values they follow and respect.
There was a time when he was very confused on what he was capable of doing. For example, in chapter 1 page 9 the text states, “I don’t remember touching her but the next thing I knew, Nancy was sitting on her butt in the fountain screaming,”Percy pushed me!” ” It seems that Percy’s powers responded to his actions as he somehow pushed Nancy Bobofit into the water. Another example is when Percy made made it to camp half blood (chapter 5, Riordan) , Percy was being spoon fed Ambrosia nectar which what percy said tastes like,”It was chocolate chip cookies.

ADHD is very common and the symptoms our patient, Kevin, is experiencing are in line with the symptoms used to diagnose it. More specifically, Kevin’s symptoms are matching the combined classification of ADHD. As a general diagnosis, ADHD is a very common disorder, and can be classified into three types- Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive, and Combined. Inattentive ADHD is the type where the patient is easily distracted, a common stereotype (albeit true) of ADHD patients.
