Zeus believes that Poseidon took the lighting bolt to try to take over his throne.

Luke stole the bolt from Zeus when he and Camp Halfblood went to Mount Olympus.

This example of imagery engages the reader’s senses, which makes them more open to the events that will come later in the plot. The author also incorporates tone into his text. For example, a deathly tone is used to detail the feeling of the automated “Happylife” house when it was shut off.
