By: Liya Beyene Many characters have different ways they conquer feelings, such as uncertainty. Sally and Percy Jackson in The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, both have similarities and differences when it comes to their motivation to take action when faced with uncertainty. Percy uses his quick reflexes to conquer what he was feeling. On the contrary, Sally uses a caring personality to deal with uncertainty. Sally and Percy both put what is important to them first.
(Page 12) This shows Percy he is a hero and as of then takes on the hero archetype. Because of this particular event, it puts the journey into action which makes it an important stage.
Percy is also brave, smart, and courageous, but he is also strong and caring. Percy’s main objective in the story is to get out of the underworld and stop a Roman vs Greek battle. Some devices used by the author in this story are alliterations, similes, and personifications. Some similarities in these two books are that both main characters need to solve a problem, both need help from
ADHD Assignment Percy was recognized for having ADHD, which means attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD contains symptoms like being hyper in unnecessary places or acting without thinking. It also contains not being able to concentrate on one thing, which makes it hard to learn. I think this matches Percy Jackson perfectly. Percy Jackson does indeed have ADHD because he doesn't focus, is really hyper, and impulsive.
Consequently, he was persevere to find his mom after she was abducted. Furthermore, he was persevere when he was bellowing to Zeus to let his friend out of the Underworld. Percy bravely agreed to go on a quest, faced the oracle, and killed Medusa, when he didn't really know what was going on. Percy's perseverance had saved him, his father, and the rest of the Greek world. Ultimately, this is how and why Percy Jackson is
Percy Jackson, the main character in The Lightning Thief ,is following the path of the hero in “Hero’s journey” On Percy’s life a teacher has become his mentor. In the Lightning Thief Percy says “But Mr.Brunner expected me to be as good as everybody else, despite the fact that I have dyslexia and attention deficit disorder and I had never made above a C- in my life” In this quote, percy expresses his feelings on how he is frustrated with himself and his teacher. In hero's journey a quote shows about mentors, “Heroes are almost started on their journey by a character who has mastered the laws of the outside world and come back to bestow this wisdom upon them.” That is how The Lightning Thief is compared to hero's journey.
At the beginning of the story, if Percy would have realized he had powers inside, he would’ve used them. For example, Percy was faced with his first test when his pre-algebra teacher turned into a repulsive monster and attacked him. Instead of handling the problem himself, he received assistance from his disabled French teacher, Mr. Brunner. The author may have made Mr. Brunner disabled to represent the fact that people not originally perceived to be powerful, can be powerful.
With every hero’s journey there comes a mentor, in “Percy Jackson” and “The Odyssey” there was an obstacle. The first archetype being compared between The Odyssey and Percy Jackson, is the mentor. Mentors guide people
In Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson Sea Of Monsters, a thirteen year old demigod named Percy Jackson, goes on a quest with his best friend Annabeth and his recently discovered half brother to retrieve the Golden Fleece to save Thialia’s poisoned pine tree that protects the campers at Camp Half Blood, and to save Percy’s best friend Grover. So what does it truly mean to be successful at something? Does it mean to be known for what that person did or does it represent the feeling someone feels after completing a task. To one, it could mean the satisfaction of accomplishing something after a long time of concentration and hard work.
Percy 's birth into his Hero Cycle occurs when he crosses into Camp Half Blood for the very first time. His subsequent call to adventure is when he consults with the Oracle. During his visit to the Oracle, Percy learns what he must do in order to be successful on his quest. Chiron, also known as Mr. Brunner, assists Percy in his initial preparation for his quest. He makes sure Percy, Annabeth, and Grover all have the things they need in order to be somewhat prepared for what lay ahead for them.
This was an honor for Percy which brought a great honor into Percy’s life. But, it also brought more danger into into Percy’s life like being attacked by many monsters including people like the kindly
Still however the characters are very alike in both their motivations. Odysseus and Percy Jackson define as being epic heroes because of their bravery, and the strength they find within themselves. Their reaction to their world define their different values and attitudes is they start to learn about them. They find what the gods like or dislike. The relationships with their mother and wife shaped them as the men they are because they helped motivate them to do the right thing and get back to their world.
Again, Percy’s ability to communicate and coordinate a team are tested, but unlike the encounter with the furies, he is successful this time. Percy’s growth is especially clear when he acknowledges Annabeth’s successful calculations, saying “If we’d have jumped when I thought we should’ve, we would’ve crashed”, admitting that Annabeth saved their lives (240). Percy communicates well, delegating responsibilities— “‘Get into that booth! Find the ‘on’ switch’” he yells to Grover, “‘Unfasten your seatbelt’” he yells to Annabeth—to guide the group. The test of the waterpark displays Percy’s confident leadership abilities as he coordinates
In the rising action, a character must try to save another character(pg 54) Percy gains the courage to fight the minotaur when his mom is trapped in his grasp, Percy
Percy showed a lot of courage when he accepted the quest to face all of the monsters.it takes courage to accept the challenge to go out into the world and fight the monsters. ” do you miss being on the quest” luke asked percy after his quest, “what, with monsters attacking me every meter.” There are clearly lots of monsters on the quest because when annabeth said “so far so good, ten miles and no monster attakces” she sounded a bit surprised and glad but also worried that there were lots of monsters waiting for them around every corner. Percy showed lots of courage and so did annabeth but annabeth also showed determination. annabeth showed determination to want to go on a quest.
