Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be the son/daughter of a Greek god? Well that’s exactly what happened to Percy Jackson, an average 12 year old boy with ADHD.

I found the book Percy Jackson The Lightening Thief in middle school during our book fair. The cover intrigued me into buying it and see what it was about because I had no clue. I remember getting excited that it was about Greek mythology because I never knew that it existed, and I wanted to know more about it. The way James Patterson, the author, started it had me hooked. The first chapter Percy was just minding his business on a school field trip and then all the sudden his teacher transforms into a demon like creature and tries to hurt him and asks him where the lightening bolt of Zeus was.
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.
He learns that his dad was Poseidon and why he always loved the water and meets new friends like Annabeth who are vital to forming his character. He is given a quest by the oracle which foresees his future and that he will find and return the Lightning Bolt but will also be unable to save what matters the most. Once he embarks on his quest with the help of his best friend Grover, and Annabeth, the differences between book and movie become extremely apparent, they are very different. One major difference was Annabeth and Percy’s relationship with each other, in the book considering they were 12 they had a completely platonic relationship and were just friends, but in the movie they formed a romantic relationship with each other after encountering hardship together. Another change is the roles of the gods, in the book Ares opposes Percy and is a major plot point in which the friendship of the characters is developed but is almost completely written out in the movie, having no relevance to the story.
At what point does the price of secrecy become too high to pay? In most cases, secrets destroy relationships and lives. However, a kept secret can be to the benefit of others in certain situations. In Mary Shelley’s, Frankenstein, Victor believes he is doing exactly that for his family when he keeps the monster a secret. In addition to that, Victor is also trying to protect himself from the opinions of everyone around him.
