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.

In the book, The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson shows great acts of perseverance. A coincidence is that Percy is short for the Greek hero Perseus.

He was persevere during his camp game of capture the flag.
Percy is shy and timid and once again all to himself. But once he discovers his power to the “full” ability he becomes more aggressive, since he had defeated his enemy in a game of “capture the flag” and Poseidon claimed Percy as his own son he had more violent thoughts”. Confirming my point because, In most greek myths the Gods, Demigods, etc. are seen as powerful and great and
Percy Jackson was the better hero than Odysseus. Percy Jackson was a great leader and he meets the qualifications needed to be a better hero.

Literary Heros For The Ages A Hero. As Maya Angelou said, “I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for everyone”A hero like Percy Jackson, and Odysseus is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Two major literary characters have earned this title, Odysseus from The Odyssey by Homer and Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson Series written by Rick Riordan.

Perseus Vs. Percy Jackson Essay (Final Draft) “No man who had ever set out to kill Medusa had come back, and the king was sure that now he was forever rid of Perseus.” Throughout the movie of “Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief” and throughout the original mythology of “Perseus”, there are obviously huge differences between the two stories-- but there are also huge similarities as well. “Percy Jackson” draws on the legend of “Perseus” by having quite a similar story/a similar concept, while the story of “Percy Jackson” also transforms the original story by making the film more modern -- by adding more different quests, and by changing some of the characters/adding more new characters.

It all started in science class, where Percy saw Clarisse, the bully at Camp Half-blood, fighting black birds the size of ravens outside the window. As Percy came up with the perfect excuse which was “ I have to puke.” He was dismissed immediately. As Percy finished helping fight the birds, Clarisse explained that if an Aries child turns 15 you are tested to take a ride on the chariot and bring it back to the temple on sunset, or else you'd be punished, it was an exciting time for Clarisse because it was once a lifetime opportunity to show her father she is worthy to be an Aries member.

Throughout “The Lightning Thief” by Rick Riordan, the main character Percy Jackson grows in many ways. Through application of Joseph Campbell’s Hero Cycle, Percy’s development as a leader over the course of “The Lightning Thief” can be analyzed (Campbell). Percy is born into the hero’s cycle at his natural birth and his call to adventure is the attack by Mrs. Dodds. Percy crosses the threshold, when he leaves Montauk with his mother and Grover and the first trial testing his leadership is on the bus with the furies. 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.
To kick us off, Percy was the archetypal hero, the prodigy, because it is something that we people in the present world like to ride along the story of someone who didn’t always used to be awesome, and there is a lot of inventions that have made this easier to make a story off of in present times (Such as a phone that he uses as a mirror). While on the flip side, Perseus was always an amazing hero; hence, the perfect hero status, because back in the old days the “Gods” were looking for people who were all around amazing, and that was easier for them to use for a story because people could relate. Furthermore, Percy modernizes the dramatic event. In Percy, his sub turns into the monster that asked him for the lightning bolt (Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief), and in the old times, a sub would have never existed seeing as there wasn’t even any schools. Finally, both stories used spiritual help to it’s main character , but Percy's modernizes the concept.
Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which is most used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power reactors. There are 99 commercial nuclear reactors in operation in US now and two-thirds of the reactors are pressurized water reactors. ("How Nuclear Power Works.") In the pressurized water reactors, the core water is held under pressure and the heat is transferred to water outside the core, boiling the outside water, generating steam, and powering a turbine. After the steam is used to power the turbine, it is cooled off to make it condense back into water.
