Calculator Use

Calculate the net profit margin, net profit and profit percentage of sales from the cost and revenue. The net profit margin is net profit divided by revenue (or net income divided by net sales). For gross profit, gross margin percentage and mark up percentage, see the Margin Calculator.

Profit Margin Formula:

Net Profit Margin = Net Profit / Revenue

Where, Net Profit = Revenue - Cost

Profit percentage is similar to markup percentage when you calculate gross margin. This is the percentage of the cost that you get as profit on top of the cost.

Profit Percentage = Net Profit / Cost

Revenue = Selling Price

The Uses and Abuses of Cartoon Style in Animation

# data[].attributes.body
" As a determining factor for believability in animation, authenticity functions on two levels. First, we suspend our disbelief and engage with the character; there is no question of the character’s aliveness "

" Fundamentally, we believe in this character because all elements of the animated illusion are unified, promoting the suspension of disbelief, as animation viewers have come to expect. "

" Animated movement that adheres to the Principles of Animation, which is most fully realized through hand-drawn animation methods. • Depiction of characters in some dramatic context, where the intent is to promote believable character performances. • Comedic as opposed to expressionistic content. "

" gags developed a style of extreme physical comedy only possible in the imaginary world they created on screen. "

" pushed the limits of physical extremes "

" create dynamic tension, exploring the comic elements of duration, while timing, with great precision, when the next action would occur. "

" Further rebellion against the influence of Disney emerged at the UPA studio, where the constraints of volumetric form and the believable effects of gravity on mass were abandoned altogether in service to the graphic image. "" Yet, movement in these cartoons is not without its expressive qualities. "

" This cartoon-chuckle-reflex may also be a signal of the aliveness promoted through cartoon style movement, which creates in us a non-verbal moment of recognition. "

Played by a black actor, he is described in the book as having curly brown hair and eyes, but with caucasian skin
He is not popular, he is one of the bullied and marginalised kids
my take on it
grover doesnt have some aspects of myth satyrs but the movie one has, this text mentions them: pride, stubbornness, fancying ladies and gambling, those are however traits of the one in the movie.

grover is an anxious and underaccomplished satyr, which firthers marginalises him

Author mentions it seems risky to cast a black actor on the role of a half animal beast, which could reinforce several prejudices against black people

In the movie the relationship between percy and grover gets unsetlling, grover being basically a sidekick, doing whatever percy wants him to, even if it is camuflaged as friendship. Him staying in hades is also bad. implicit sexual content too.
Movie grover also has NO magical trait that is usefull, his basic function is to make jokes. This makes the depiction of a young black boy in columbus film simplified and shallow

Notations about the book -Introducing Semiotics

# data[].attributes.body
Semiotics comes from the greek word "semeiotikos", an interpreter of signs. As a discipline it is the analysis of signs or the study of the functioning of sign systems
Signifier: Material Aspect
Signified: Mental Concept

The signifier can be changed easily, dog, can be pupper, doggo, woofer etc.

Immediate interpretant:  person that starts the topic and thus knows exatly what it is about
Dynamic Interpretant: a result of the sign, looks in the general direction to which the immediate points
Final Interpretant:  Rare result of the other 2 meeting at the exact same place

Potential of interpretant producing further signs, which gives a lot more potential to it

This is an online form I created to check the peoples opinions on comparisons of animation made in live action movies and series and animations.
I do regret however comparing spells using Harry Potter, as the idea for the essay is to argue for an animated series and not movie, which would not have the same budged as those films, its too late now to change that though, 20 people already answered these.

Messenger of the Gods, god of travel, merchants and mischief and thieves

Hermes is Luke's father
He is only mentioned in this book, but without him, and him having Luke, none of the events in the book would have happened.
In this world, Hermes runs a very large mailing company and is always busy running around from god to god, nymph to satyr etc etc.
He tends to wear a jogging outfit and carries his caduceus around as a cellphone with an anthena, in which his snakes, George and Martha stay, getting all of his calls and demmanding rats for food.

Crusty is a perfectionist, he owns a water bed shop, where our heroes make haste while running from some avarage mortal "fuck boys" (being a demigod doen't exactly protect you from mean kids). The problem with this guy is that to him people must fit the bed and not the bed fit the person, so his solution is obviously to stretch or cut the person to adjust the measurements. With Annabeth and Grover trapped, Percy tricks him into laying on a bed himself and thus manages to trap and kill him.

When children find themselves absent of certain family members who have specific roles, the child will tend to look for that role on another person, these people could then become what people call their chosen family. This paper analyses that in the book series of PJO.

The demigod kids don't tend to find much support in their parents, as their godly parent is busy absent doing godly stuff and they spend a lot of time separated from their mortal parent, as they could not protect their child from supernaturla monsters.
Thus they search for support in their friends, poeple with a closer age, a great Example is  Luke, Thalia and Annabeth.

" Thus we can see that friendship hold great importance in the lives of these demigods. The main reason being, they understand the situation that each one of them is going through and so try to help each other out as much as possible. "

The kids in this book series are all there for each other, cherring and supporting each other, even if in some instances they do fight, as soon as the situation calls for group action they are in it together. " Such bonds are very rarely found, at least in the mortal world. But it is very much likely in the world of demi-gods as all people who they could call as a part of their family, are these cousins and siblings. "
Chiron and Dyonisius (Mr. D) also play an important role to this half bloods. Being that of a mentor, especially Chiron who also fits into a father figure for some of them, like Annabeth.

" In such a situation these demi-gods look for shelter and that missing affinity with a group of people who are related to them by emotions, caring, protection, love, encouragement, admiration and above all, love. "

Confirms again the target audience of the novel was children/teenagers, but also points out how it also proved compelling to adults.

Author points out one bad review and says its strange that the novel won best seller.....

" The readers‘ reception will demonsrate why the novel is so popular, not only in America, but also around the world. "

Riordan came up with the story for his son, Haley who was studying and was interested in greek mythology and has dyslexia/ADHD, thus the series of books were born.

Reception of Readers

There is an aesthetic enjoyment of the book: coming from the language, the tone and the plot.

" Most sentences in the quotation are simple sentences with ordinary vocabularies that make them light and ―easy to read‖ by young readers, nonetheless adult readers. "

"The sardonic tone of the narrator's voice lends a refreshing air of realism to this riotously paced quest tale of heroism that questions the realities of our world, family, friendship and loyalty." (Kirkus Reviews in Powell‘s Books, 1994-2013, p. 2)

―Overall, the writing is excellent with a good degree of humor.‖ (Smith, 2013, p. 3).

"Pretty soon we'd laced the sneakers over his fake feet, and the world's first flying goat boy was ready for launch. "Maia!" he shouted. He got off the ground okay, but then fell over sideways so his backpack dragged through the grass. The winged shoes kept bucking up and down like tiny broncos. "Practice," Chiron called after him. "You just need practice!" "Aaaaa!" Grover went flying sideways down the hill like a possessed lawn mower, heading toward the van." (Riordan, 2005, p. 158).

My words: I believe this passage of the book really exemplifies why it would be great animated, this scene, like many others in the book, have a very cartoonish aspect and seem to have been taken straight from an animated series script or storyboard. It is a very visual sense of comedy that tends to seem absurd and just weird if done with real people.

Besides getting aesthetic enjoyment, the readers also feel like being trasported into the story of the novel. Dragonfly‘s review (2009) says ―I think this book was really interesting and is a great way to get you into Greek Mythology! When you read it, it makes you feel like you are transported into the book!‖
This "transportation" is also aided by the fact that the book is in first person, the reader, reading everything in their head, will hear Percy's I as their I.

God of War

Ares is a big and tough looking guy, biker actually, those that like to wear all leather to seem more edgy. His eyes are actually dancing flames that reflect his mood, he cover them from the mortals with sunglasses and a bad attitude.
He sends Percy and his friends to a useless quest that is actually an ambush prepared for him and his gf (being caught cheating by her husband, Hephaestus). It's actually a double ambush, since with this he manages to give Percy a bag enchanted to contain the Master Bolt when he gets close to the Tartarus.
Another petty child, learning that the disappearance of the Master Bolt will end in war and with extra whispers of his dear old grandpa, he let's Luke complete his plan and helps him accomplish it.

Shadow/id argue shapeshifter
God of the dead and the Underworld

Yeah, he is pretty much the same ol' Hades. Still gloomy, still locked in his room and still wearing a toga.
He kidnaps Percy's mother (seems to be a habit of his...) and is accused by a lot of people of being the one that stole Zeus' Master Bolt.
The truth is, he was also robbed, but he didn't say anything because not only he thought no one would care, he also believed this loss would be seen as weakness and opportunity to attack him ans his realm.
As soon as all the stolen items are retrieved he let's Sally go. Also it is notable, and very little arguable, that he is the best godly father in this universe, just saying.

Ally
God of the Sea, Horses and Earthquakes (Blue)

Poseidon is Percy`s father and he spoils him rotten, even though its not that apparent that he is in fact spoiling Percy.
He cares very much for his son and does his best to aid him in his quest, such as when he sends one of the Nereids to give Percy the item that would allow him to come back safe from the underworld.
Loves to fish, long walks on the beach and wearing Hawaiian shirts.

Threshold Guardian
God of the Sky, Thunder and the King of the Gods

He is still basically the same Zeus from ancient greece, loves to fight with his wife, electrify the land and have LOTS of children.
After he lost his toy bolt and Poseidon comes forward with the information that Percy is his son, Zeus throws a tamtrum accuses his brother of plotting agaisnt him with his son due to jealousy of his great power, he was also angry because Poseidon broke an oath of not having anymore mortal children even tho he broke that oath twice before his brother.
When the Master Bolt returns to its dutifull owner, Zeus promptly leaves to purify his Master Bolt in the waters of Lemnos to wash away the human taint that it had received from Luke and Percy.

Mentor

Yes, the same centaur Chiron from Greek Mythology, he is after all immortal for as long as the gods find him useful.
He currently the Activities Director at the Camp Half Blood. He is very much a father/uncle figure to a lot of the campers (cof cof annabeth cof)
He pushes Percy into being a better student, both in academics and battle, and guides him towards his mission.

Shapeshifter/ally to villain

Luke is a 19 year old son of Hermes that teaches Percy fencing at the camp. He arrived there for the first time with Annabeth.
(SPOILERS lol)
`Posing as a friend and ally in the beggining of the book, he is actually the one that stole the Master Bolt and orchestrated the whole plan, with the help and manipulation of Kronos, to pin the robbery on other people/gods to insite war.
He acts very nice and helpful to the campers at the Camp Half Blood (Annabeth has a crush on him ooooooh), but in reality he is very cold and calculated (and a spoiled little brat!)

Damsel in distress/Ally

Percy's mother, she is very kind and loving towards her child and he loves her very much.
She married a filthy stinky and rude  mortal man to protect her son, as his mortal scent masks Percy's demigod scent from monsters.
She is kidnapped  by Hades in the beggining of the story and is a great motivator for Percy to save the day.
She also has a thing for blue, especially yummy blue.

Sidekick/Trickster

Grover is a Satyr that finds out Percy is a demigod and has the mission to take him to the camp.
They are best friends and go together, with Annabeth, after the Master Bolt.
Grover is a lot of times a comic relief, but he is also important to the advancements of the group, his ability to talk to animals proves very useful in their quest.

# data[].attributes.body
Sidekick/Hero!

Annabeth is the daughter of Athena, she has been in the Camp Half Blood without leaving since she was 7 years old, she is now (at the time of the lightning thief book) 12.
She is very eager to go on a quest, and goes with Percy after the Master Bolt. She is probably the reason he didn't die in this book.

Protagionist/Hero

Son of Poseidon with a mortal woman, he is 12 years old and is a trouble child.
He was kicked out of several school and has ADHD and Dyslexia.
When Zeus Master Bolt is kidnapped he is accused of having stolen it for his father and is later sent on a quest to retrieve it.

" While Cast dealt with adults, the San Franciscan sixth grade teacher Rick Riordan Jr recapitulated the Greek, Roman, and Norse myths for children. He weaved into his stories, the demigods, not the very famous Hercules or Odysseus or Achilles, but the ADHD/dyslexic son of the sea God Poseidon, Percy Jackson from manhattan "
Rick Riordan basically made the most relatable character possible for his target audience, letting them live through his character and story, great adventures in a magical world.

" He (Rick Riordan) globalized the myths "

Author or article basically says that Rick Riordan revived the Gods of Olympus, by bringing them to bak to children and young adults throughout the world with his story.

" Riordan had spun the tale so tactically, including the best ingredients to capture t he interest of his readers."

" Riordan gives prime importance to the story of the demigods, but he also succeeded in including the most important stories and characters from the mythology. "
Riordan writes Percy's adventures parallelling the adventures of the ancient heroes in greek mythology, he goes trough the sea of monsters like Odisseus, he defeats the Minotaur Theseus and many more, which also teaches who reads it the original tales.

" The idea of children thinking of disorders like ADHD/dyslexia as unique strengths rather than weaknesses is one of the best counsel. "

"(Riordan)  converses to his teen-readers in their language- humour, sarcasm and satire "

Percy goes through a traumatic loss in his journey, and the book describes the changes he experiences and his mental development, being an example of a beneficial change in a posttraumatic child. The character being a role model for a young reader, this could benefit a posttraumatic child that reads the book.

" Rick Riordan creates the story that makes the reader wondering and guessing even though the story is presented with simple plot.  The heroic story of the Greek mythology combined with modern American culture helps the reader to imagine the story."
I would argue that the use of mythology in the story provides easy access to really cool designs and characters with easy references in the creation of an animation. This is actually something that is explored in multiple animation, with the use of creatures from greek mythology. For example: in my little pony: Friendship is magic Season 1  Episode 2, a Manticore appears, and in seasson 4 episode 17. there is a Chimera in the forrest.

" The writer also discovers that the motive or the reasons Percy accepts the journey is the desire to overcome the traumatic loss. "
Even though Percy is distraught with his mother gone, and goes through the phase of denial, even going as far as going to the Underworld to get her back, Percy in the end has to overcome his grief and let go of this mother, which is a healthier way of dealing with the death of a loved one.

" In the last finding of the research, the writer discovers that Percy is successfully overcome his traumatic loss after passing through the trials presented in his journey. "

Percy's heroeness and his journey

# data[].attributes.body
Hero's Journet/Monomyth formulated by Joseph Campbell,who was influenced by Carl Jung, is mentioned
Vladimir Propp is also mentioned
Christopher Vogler, modernised the Monomyth concept

Percy's Journey

At the beggining of the story Percy thinks very little of himself and lacks confidence and self esteem, which opens the opportunity fore the growth he will undergo through the book. In the end, he learns how to trust and believe in himself more.
"Supportive archetypes like mentors, allies and tricksters primarily bring out Percy's self sacrificing side and help him see his self-worth." With their help Percy turns his former flaws into assets, giving him more chance to accept and give love.

According to Vogler, all well written characters have traits of more than one archetype even if they mostly commit to one role. Other heroes are hybrids, temporarily putting on the mask of another archetype and/or merging with it. Percy is what could be called a trickster-hero.

PJO:TLT is also filled with trickster appearances; mostly by Grover, the satyr (...)

"Grover’s trickster moves certainly help Percy turn his helplessness around in various situations. On one occasion when Percy is frozen by fear after encountering Medusa, Grover makes a comic appearance with his winged shoes fluttering in the sky. Grover’s light-hearted entrance snaps Percy out of his immobilised state and jolts him into action instead."
The book has lots of comedy relief momments that ease the tension mid battle, a lot of them are caused by Grover's shennannigans, or even Percy's.

Percy's fullfilment of the criteria for Vogler's definition of a fully matured hero:

Confidence: leaving the camp at the end of the book to fend for himself, instead of staying in the safety of the camp.

Sacrifice: Percy values world peace and is willing to sacrifice his own needs for it (he leaves his mother in the underworld as proof of that)

Self Esteem: He turns his weaknesses into strengths and accepts them, but he is also very much a child (12 yo)

1.3 Purposes of the Study Page 2

1. What are the stages or functions that must be completed by a hero?
2. What are the roles of action that can be identified in Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief ?

1.5 Short Glance of Theoretical  framework Page 3

Thesis uses Vladimir Propp's Narratology, that said the character must complete some stages or function so he can be called a hero. 20 functions are analysed in this thesis, divided into 4 grou´s: Introduction, bofy of the story, donor sequence and hero's return.

3.1.2 Conflict Page 11

Divided by external (against other individuals, nature, society) and internal (moral and/or psychological problems)

3.1.3 The Structure of Narratology Page 12

A Branch of Structuralism, learns about the structure of narrative and how it influences reader's perception.

3.1.4 Vladimir Propp's Narratology Page 14

Explains that the character is not the most important thing in the narrative, but it is the action of the characters which is important.

4.1 Analysis of Intrinsic Aspect Page 23

Intrinsic aspects consist of:Character, setting and plot.
Thesis does not analyse setting. Regarding the plot, conflicts will be analysed.

4.2 Analysis of Vladimir Propp's Functions

Introduction

1. Absentation: One of the members of a family is absent
In the novel Percy's mother is pronounced dead by him but later is found to have been kidnapped by Hades

2. Interdiction: Interdiction is addressed to the hero, a request or a bit of advice to warn the hero against some action.
In the novel, this comes when Sally asks Percy not to look back when they are reaching the gates of CHB

3. Violation: Interdiction is Violated. Then, the villain starts to enter the story, without even facing the hero yet.
Percy ignores his mothers warning and looks back, seeing the Minotaur crush her into dust,  then also ignoring her warning not to go save her. Hades, who sent several monsters (including the Minotaur) after Percy and kidnaps his mother, is then presented as a villain.

4. Reconnaissance: The villain makes an attempt. The purpose of finding objects or persons.
Sally and the Lightning Bolt are the reconnaissance

5. Delivery: The villain receives information about his victim.
Mrs. Dodds was there to collect information for Hades in the beginning

6. Trickery: The villain attempts to deceive his victim in order to take possession of him or of his belongings
Ares was the villain here, when  he puts the lightning in Percy's backpack (although he is actually being completely manipulated by other people, being Luke Castellan and Chronos)

7. Complicity: The victim submits to deception and thereby unwit-tingly helps his enemy
Percy ends up helping the villains in the further deceit that the Bolt and Helmet were stolen, which in turn makes the gods angry and closer to starting war

Body of the Story
1. Villainy: The villain causes harm or injury to one member of a family
This shows in the kidnapping of Sally Jackson

2. Mediation: The hero is either approached with a request and responds to ir of his own accord, or is commanded, and dispatched.
Percy is dispatched after he receives the prophecy

3. Counteraction: The hero chooses positive action
Percy goes after the Lightning Bolt

4. Departure: The Hero leaves home

The Donor Series
1. The hero is tested: interrogated, attacked etc. in preparation for receiving either a magical agent or helper
Side quest! Get Ares' shield that he lost after a date with his gf

2. The hero's reaction: The hero reacts to the actions of the future donor
"Freaking Ares making us get his damn shield, making me and Annabeth be the subject to hummiliation in his place hjsbdfjhgas" - Percy, 2005, but not really

3. The provision, receipt of a magical agent: the hero getting the use of a magical agent
Ares gives the trio (Percy, Grover and Annabeth) supplies and a ride

4. Guidance: The hero is transferred, reaches, or is led to the whereabouts of an object of search
Percy's dad, aka Poseidon, god of the seas, helping him with a bunch of stuff. Like the pearls that will secure him a return back home safe from the underworld

5. Struggle: The hero and the villain join in direct combat
Percy meets Hades, realizes he is baby and did nothing wrong, then he fights with Ares, who was the real villain all along (at least in this first book, not the series) (desculpa a queda de linguagem ao longo dessas anotações, aqui comecei a ficar cansad)

6. Branding of the hero: Hero is wounded, getting something that changes him, could also be the owning of a magical item.
Percy aquires Hades' helmet and the Master Bolt is with him

7. Victory; The villain is defeated
Percy wins the battle against Ares

8. Liquidation: The initial misfortume or lack is liquidated, the narrative reaches its peak in this function
Objects of search were found (the Master Bolt and the Helmet)

The Hero Returns
1. Return: Hero goes home.
Percy goes back to his home in Manhattan with his mom, who was returned after Hades got back his Helmet

Chapter 5: Conclusion

The book of Vladimir Propp says there are 31 functions to be completed by a hero, from those, Percy has completed 20 in the first book (the remaining points should be analysed on the rest of the series), which makes him, indeed, a hero.

General Notes
Monomyth: Archetypal story of the hero's journey

Interesting Contents for Research

B.1 Theoretical Framework Page 6

According to Joseph Campbell, the standard Mythological adventure follows the basic pattern of rites of passage, being: Departure, Initiation and Return.

"The hero leaves home,goes through a series of adventures and after achieving his goal returns home: Departure, Initiation, Return."

"The journey requires a separation from the comfortable zone, known world, and an initiation into a new level of awareness, skill, and responsibility, and then a return home." That is basically Percy's journey throughout the book

"The Road Back may be a moment when the Hero must choose between the Journeys of  a Higher Cause verses the personal Journey of the Heart." This happens at Hades, when Percy has to choose between keeping a war from happening and getting his mom back, he ultimate chooses to return the Master Bolt to Zeus, choosing the Higher Cause instead of the Journey of the Heart, although later he does get his mom back as a reward for choosing the Higher Cause, thus achieving both.

B1.2.1 The Eight Characters Archetype in Monomyth Theory Page 12

1. Hero: Main Protagonist, they are the one to go through the Journey
2. Mentor: character that gives motication, insights and training to help the Hero
3. Threshold Guardian: protects the Special World and its secrets from the Hero, gives tests to establish a Hero's Promise and value.
4. Herald: Announce the coming of significant change, issues challenge, move the Hero into action
5. Shadow:  Character that gets in the way of the Hero, "the dark side", villains, antagonists, and enemies. Serve to Challenge the Hero.
6. Allies: Sidekicks, protector or helper for the Hero
7. Shapeshifter:  character that misleads the hero, hides their starting point, pretends to be a friend. Blurs the line between ally and enemy.
8. Trickster (not mentioned in the paper but I'm adding them here): Embodiment of mischief, desires to create change. Adds fun and humor to the story, give the audience a break. They offer an outside perspective and opens up important questions.

Reed pipes? Check.

Oh, excuse us. We didn't see you there. You see, we're getting ready to read The Lightning Thief, and we need to make sure we have our supplies. Our narrator, Percy Jackson, tells us on page one that this book reveals dangerous secrets. We want to be prepared for whatever comes our way.

We won't tell you what these secrets are. All we'll tell you is that Percy is twelve years old, he's from Queens, NY, he has dyslexia and attention deficit disorder, and he has been kicked out of six different schools over the past six years. Oh, and Percy is a demi-god. Yeah, that's right. He's half-human, half-god. Ancient Greek mythology is not mythology - it's the real thing. The Greek gods still exist. This is the story of how Percy finds out about his demi-god-ness and of how he saves the world from a huge and horrible war.

The Lightning Thief is the first in a series of five books called Percy Jackson and the Olympians by author Rick Riordan. The book was published on June 28, 2005, and over 1.2 million copies of the book have already been sold. The Lightning Thief has been on the New York Times Bestseller List for children's books for over 120 weeks and counting. The Lightning Thief has even been made into a feature film.

Rick Riordan is a novelist and teacher. He taught English to middle-schoolers for years, teaching his students all about the Greek myths (ahem, the Greek stories). Riordan is also a dad, and he has a son who was diagnosed with dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. When his son was in the fourth grade, he studied Ancient Greek culture and stories in school. Every night, he asked his dad to tell him stories about the Greek gods. His dad knew a whole lot about the gods, you see. And when Rick Riordan ran out of stories to tell, his son asked him to invent a story about the gods. Over the course of three days, Rick came up with Percy Jackson and the story of The Lightning Thief. After hearing this story, Rick's son knew it was so great his dad needed to make it into a book. Thank goodness, Rick Riordan took his son's advice.

What is The Lightning Thief About and Why Should I Care?

Normal. One of the most important words in the English language - almost all of us want to be it. We want to "fit in" rather than stick out. We don't want to be "different." But, do we even know what being normal means? Who defines what is "normal"?

Percy Jackson is the polar opposite of normal. He accidentally causes trouble wherever he goes, he is dyslexic, has attention deficit disorder, and has a D-average in school. His father was never around and his mother scrambles to make ends meet to support him and his rotten stepdad. Nobody (except his mom) believes he will amount to much in life.

But this story proves just how bad the definition of "normal" can be at predicting how successful someone like Percy will be or can be. With a slight adjustment of our perspective and of our understanding of this word, we readers realize that Percy's greatest weaknesses are his greatest strengths. While being dyslexic and having attention deficit disorder means that Percy has a hard time reading books and doing well in school, it does mean that he has a gift for reading and understanding Ancient Greek and has great battle reflexes. Maybe normal doesn't have it quite right after all?

Whether you, like Percy, believe that the Greek gods are still around or whether you consider their stories to be mythology, this story has something to offer. It helps us understand that there is always more than one way of seeing and of making sense of the world. Sometimes being an outsider means that you have gifts that those around you don't yet fully understand or notice.

"Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is on the most dangerous quest of his life. With the help of a satyr and a daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction — Zeus’ master bolt. Along the way, he must face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop him. Most of all, he must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend."

On May 14, 2020 it was announced that a live action adaptation of Percy Jackson & The Olympians would be made for Disney+, following the storyline of the books, with Rick Riordan being directly involved in the production of the show. First season will adapt the first book: The Lightning Thief

Personal Opinion
I'm not that excited for this series due to it being live action, I really believe this story would benefit a lot more from an animation than from a live action for several reasons (that is exactly why I decided to write this essay about this). But with the author being close to the production of the show as he has said he would be (watching over every aspect of it) then the show has a chance of being something great. BUT this has also happened with Avatar: The Last Airbender, that was announced to being adapted to a live action show (just as Percy Jackson) WITH the original creators of the show being involved in the production of the new show, and that didn't end well, as said creators left the live action series production later due to creative differences (that already made fans angry). Rick Riordan however has been in contract with Disney for years now, which might help in his fight for the good of a Percy Jackson series Adaptation.

Personal Opinion
I couldn't watch the entire musical on the internet, but did listen to the soundtrack and was very underwhelmed. Although the songs are catchy and fun the characters deviate from the original material in a way I personally did not like very much, Percy sounds like a whiny spoiled kid when the original from the book couldn't be farther away from that concept, not only him, but all the demigod kids sound like Luke whining about their parents, even Luke from the book doesn't whine about his dad that much. I also think the action can't be supported by songs and singing without it seeming ridiculous...

Why Rick Riordan is also Referred to as Uncle Rick

# data[].attributes.body
Percy Jackson had a very large brazillian audience and it is a custom in here to use uncle and aunt as a sort of mam and sir for older people, it ended up going international, as the term gained more meaning and expression of fondness for the author.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The origin of "Uncle Rick" is almost ancient history in Internet years. In 2013, Brazilian fans on Twitter began referring to Rick as "Tio Rick" to express their fondness for him, a friendly uncle type who never shows up without a great gift or satyr joke. The term has gained extra meaning over the years and is now used with great love-and sometimes even greater frustration. Here are five classic Uncle Rick moves:

1. Uncle Rick won't let us move on with our lives.

Just when we thought our childhood had ended with the last book in the Heroes of Olympus series, series. And then in The Blood of Olympus, Rick brought Percy back in the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. Curse you for sucking us back in, Uncle Rick! Trials of Apollo

2. Uncle Rick is an expert ship builder.

He creates couples we love, like Percy and Annabeth, Jason and Piper, Nico and Will . . . But then he messes with them! Why did Percy have to go missing when he and Annabeth were finally dating? And why are Leo and Calypso fighting in Trials of Apollo? Can't he just let them be happy??

3. Uncle Rick trolls us with cliffhangers.

The worst waswhen he ended The Mark of Athena with Percy and Annabeth falling into Tartarus. We had to wait a whole year to find out what happened. Gah!

4. Uncle Rick is always putting his characters in mortal danger.

Someof them, even ones we've grown to like, actually don't make it. Then we're left wondering who's going to die in the next book. It's almost enough to make a person quit reading. Almost.

5. Uncle Rick turned us into mythology geeks when we weren't looking.

Suddenly we were acing all our tests on the ancient Greek myths. We knew the difference between Dionysus and Bacchus. We could name at least three Egyptian gods. Worst of all were the drawn-out arguments with friends over Marvel movies' portrayal of Thor and Loki.
