Trials exemplifying Percy’s growth include: the furies, Medusa, the Saint Louis Arch, the “Waterland” Waterpark, the Lotus Hotel, Crusty’s Waterbed Palace, and Hades and the Underworld.

The first book starts with Percy addressing the reader and the first line he says is , “Look, I didn’t want to be a half blood.” At the age of twelve he becomes aware of his reality and the world turns upside down for him. For twelve years he thought he was a normal human being but he really was a half-blood and this sudden confrontation of his reality is quite shocking for him to take in.
