2013 Words9 Pages

If you ever want to go on a quest to find the Master Bolt, go to different areas to witness stuff you haven’t seen before, and fight off monsters and teachers, then the book series Percy Jackson is for you! Percy Jackson, a 12 year-old kid in upstate New York faces and learns many different things! Based on my knowledge of this novel, I can say that Percy does lots of crazy and daring stuff in the fantasy novel. This book takes you through random plot twists because he encounters greek mythological creatures we’ve never seen before such as his friend Grover who’s part human and part goat! The broad topics I will be explaining include the book’s setting, its theme, his main problem in the novel, a dragon (conflict) of his, and his learning experiences …show more content…

In the book Percy Jackson, Percy faces a problem which is stopping him from going on beyond points. That problem is that he was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention-Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder) and Dyslexia, meaning he can’t understand some letters because they are jumbled around. On page 11, the author claims, “The school counselor told me this was part of the ADHD, my brain misinterpreting things.” This explains to me that he is misinterpreting things due to his ADHD and is confusing his mind/brain. Another conflict Percy faces is that he should and must face the supernatural, in this case, a Minotaur. Percy has to face the Minotaur and encounter something he is not aware and has never witnessed ever in his entire life, till Percy figures out because of Annabeth that he is the son of an olympian. On page 54, it states, “I couldn’t jump sideways, so I leaped straight up, kicking off from the creature’s head, using it as a springboard, turning in mid-air, and landing on his neck.” This explains to me that he has to fight the Minotaur with these powers and advantages he has to defeat the Minotaur. On page 55, “The monster charged. Without thinking, I rolled to one side and came back kneeling. As the monster barreled past, I drove the broken horn straight into his side, right up his furry rib cage.” This quote tells me that Percy also has to think smart and be aware of the Minotaur, which is attacking him, and he has to decide, does he want his mom to be vaporized away, or use the pearl and make his mom really angry for using

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.

Melvin Williams Arth 1381 Professor Zalman 13 November 2014 Visual Analysis The painting, The Basket Chair c.1885 by Berth Morisot, and the painting The Orange Trees c. 1878 by Gustave Caillebotte, are both magnificent and interesting pieces that I got the opportunity to see. The paintings are both wonderful pieces and their composition overall is very impressive. Both paintings have different aspects in the way the artist displayed modernism, formal characteristics, class and gender, and the subject matter of the painting itself.

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.

(pg 365) While the oracle’s wrath was gleaming to life in camp Half-Blood, Percy was rather calm although disbelieving as well as pessimistic he remained patient.

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.

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
