In the end of the book Percy got Zeus's lightning bolt and returned it back to him. He got his first chance to see and talk to his dad who didn't actually get lost at see. He got his mom back after she was killed by the Minotaur and vanished to the underworld. He also got the chance to turn Gabe into what he was meant to be, a gnome. Percy was able to defeat or get passed everything that got in his way, weather it was the god of war, a hotel trap, or a three headed dog, Percy pushed his way to the end where he accomplished his greatest achievement."So I told Zeus everything, just as it happened. I took out the metal cylinder, which began sparking in the Sky God's presence, and laid it at his feet." (342) "The last thing I saw as the door swung closed was my mother staring at Gabe, as if she were contemplating how would look as a garden statue." (353) "...as I passed, they knelt, as if i were some kind of hero." (246) I think Percy became a hero when he accomplished everything he did and literally went from bottom of the world to the top.

In the middle of the book Percy begins to let loose, forget about his disabilities a little, explore the world, and defeat some bad guys. He sets off on a big quest to get Zeus's lightning bolt from hades before the three big gods break out in a big tragic war. "So I have to find the stupid bolt, I said. And return it to Zeus." (138) "For the first time, the quest felt real. I was actually leaving Half-Blood Hill." (155) I think Percy started to let loose a little after he met Annabeth,and learned who Grover, Mr.Brunner and, Mr.D really were. Annabeth started helping him use his dyslexia to his advantage and read the only words that didn't really jumble up in his head, Greek. They all helped Percy find out who he really was and what he was capable of.

In the beginning of the book, Percy was sorta on the outside. He suffered from ADHD and dyslexia and had a hard time in and with schools. He was kicked out of many schools because of his grades, and really only had one friend, Grover. He also "lost" his father and his mom married smelly Gabe who was rude and abusive. His grandparents also died in a plane crash before was born "...despite the fact that I have dyslexia and attention deficit disorder and I had never made above a C- in my life." (7) "Her own" (Sally Jackson) "parents died in a plane crash." (29) "Then one day, he set sail across the Atlantic on some important journey, and never comeback."(30)

2Before Medusa got the change to lunge at Grover,  got her attention by yelling "Hey!" Percy remembered how Medusa died in the myth and used a glass ball he found to look at her reflection. He started inching closer but he was too late. Medusa lunged at him with her talons. Percy swung his sword at her not knowing if he would even hit her. Then he heard a weird noise and something fell to the ground next to his foot. "I slashed up with my sword, heard a sickening shlock then a hiss like wind rushing out of a cavern-the sound of a monster disintegrating. Something fell to the ground next to my foot. It took all my willpower not to look. I could feel warm ooze soaking into my sock, little dying snake heads tugging at my shoelaces." (183)

2)After running away from the bus explosion Annabeth, Percy, and Grover were traveling through the woods when they ending up finding a place in the middle of nowhere called "Aunty Em's Garden Gnome Emporium." When they got up to the door a middle eastern women greeted them and invited them to her dinning room to get some food. " Go straight through to the back of the warehouse, please. There is a dinning area." (173) Percy knew something was up when she looked the door behind them. "...or the fact that Aunty Em had locked the door behind us." (174) Percy, Annabeth, and Grover find out Aunty Em, is actually Medusa. Medusa was about to lung at them so they had to do something fast. "Medusa was about to lunge at him   ..." (183)

3) Percy was standing right by the hole in the Arch. Echidna kept mentioning he was the son of Poseidon so he shouldn't be afraid of a little water. As Percy looked out the hole, he thought about jumping, but the fact he would being jumping from more than a few stories high and he didn't know if he would actually survive, scared him a little bit. As Chimera's column of fire came toward him, he prayed for his father to help him and jumped. "Father, help me, I prayed. I turned and jumped. My clothes on fire, poison coursing through my veins, I plummeted toward the river." (211)

3) Echidna and Chimera were attacking Percy in the Arch. Percy's sword slipped out of his hand and through  a hole in the Arch into the Mississippi River. At that moment he knew he was defenseless. Chimera started sending flames toward Percy's face and at that moment Percy knew he had to find a way out of it, and quick. " ...my blade flew out of my hand, spinning out of the hole in the Arch and down toward the Mississippi River." (209) "Chimera sent a column of flame towards my face." (211)

After Percy, Annabeth, and Grover got passed Cerberus in the underworld Percy looked over and "pretended not to see Annabeth wipe a tear from her cheek as she listened to the mournful keening of Cerberus in the distance, longing for his new friend." (299) Percy, Annabeth and Grover made it into the underworld and there first challenge was getting passed Cerberus the three headed dog. Percy at first tried to play fetch with him. Then Annabeth pulled out a red ball and he was very interested in that. Annabeth had a special bond with Cerberus and this quote shows that. When I read this quote it really made me think about the real world. In the world there are many scary bad people, but even the biggest baddest people have a heart that can be touched. Cerberus is of course a scary animal but this quote shows he has a soft spot. This quote reflects peoples lives because it can really help people realize there is more to someone than what you see on the outside.

Rick Riordan starts off by mentioning how the gods are featured in popular architecture. "Look at your symbol, the eagle of Zeus. Look at the statue of Prometheus in Rockefeller Center, the Greek facades of you government buildings in Washington.'' (73) In the book he also made the greek gods sound like they  looked like. Humans that could turn into who they really were. "The man facing me was small, but porky. He had a red nose, big watery eyes, and curly hair so black it was almost purple." (62) "He wore a tiger-pattern Hawaiian shirt,..." (62) Rick made this guy sound like he was an ordinary guy who had really dark hair and had some wonky shirts, but he was really Dionysus. The god of wine. "Then I recognized the tweed jacket, the thinning brown hair, the scraggly beard. Mr.Brunner! I cried. The Latin teacher turned and smiled at me." (62-63) Rick made Mr.Brunner sound like he was really a Latin teacher when he was really a human that could turn into a centaur. "An old lady had just boarded the bus she wore a crumpled velvet dress, lace gloves, and a shapeless orange-knit hat that shadowed her face, and she carried a big paisley purse. When she tilted her head up, her black eyes glittered, and my heart skipped a beat. It was Mrs. Dodds." (160-161) Rick made Mrs.Dodds sound like the looks of an innocent old lady when she and the other to old ladies behind were really furies in disguise. "Then the door cracked open, and standing in front of us was a tall Middle Eastern women-at least, I assumed she was Middle Eastern, because she wore a long black gown that covered everything but her hands, and her head was completely veiled. Her eyes glinted behind a curtain of black gauze, but that was about all I could make out. Her coffee-colored hands looked old, but well manicured and elegant, so I imagined she was a grandmother who had once been a beautiful lady. Her accent sounded vaguely Middle Eastern, too." (172) Rick made Aunty Em look like a regular old women who liked to help anyone in distress when she really wanted to turn them into stone gnomes because she was really Medusa. "We got shoehorned into the car with this big fat lady and her dog, a Chihuahua." (205) Rick made this women seem like a normal women who wanted to bring her Chihuahua to the top of the Arch to enjoy a nice view, but the fat lady was really Echidna and The Chihuahua was really Chimera. "He was dressed in a red muscle shirt and black jeans and a black leather duster, with a hunting knife strapped to his thigh. He wore red wraparound shades, and he had the cruelest, most brutal face I'd ever seen-handsome, I guess, but wicked-with an oily black crew cut and cheeks that were scarred from many, many fights." (225) Rick make it sound like this dude is the head of a really scary motorcycle gang when he is really, Ares, the god of war. "He was at least seven feet tall,with absolutely no hair. He had gray, leathery skin, thick -lidded eyes, and cold reptilian smile." (277) "The shirt was silk paisley, unbuttoned halfway down his hairless chest. The lapels on his velvet jacket were as wide as landing strips. The silver chains around his neck-I couldn't even count them. I'm Crusty, he said,..." (277) Rick makes Crusty sound like a guy who works at a casual waterbed store just trying to get some money. He is really Procrustes. A creature who stretches people out when they are to short and cuts off their limbs when they are to long.
