The reason I chose this book because it has a thrill to it. This book not only has an adventure story but also includes Greek Gods, and includes suspense as well as romance.]]> 2022-01-07 23:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981272738 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981274582 In this book the author starts off with a more dramatic opening in his prologue. This scene includes the main character's father leaving after her mother is told yelling at the father. "Excuses! Excuses! You give me the same ones every week!" - Mother(Thea).
"They're not excuses, Thea! It's the truth!" - Father.

This is an important scene where Thea(mother) tells Megara(main character) that you should trust anyone because in the end they will hurt you. The reason she says this is because this scene is right after here father leaves.]]> 2022-01-07 23:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981292111 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981297330 "A god," Hera said again. "If you can prove your worth."


This is a very important dialogue since after this Megara is given a quest, which the whole book is basically about. This quest includes challenges that she must complete and finish to become a god.]]> 2022-01-08 00:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981297330 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981300065 Her mother sat up with a start, her eyes bright. "Who needs food when we have this?" Her mother opened up the sack by the bed and held out a tarnished flute. "This is for you!"


This dialogue is important since after she receives the flute and learns how to play it she is very relaxed and also earns money for the family by entertaining townsfolks. She is also tested on her flute skills when she is doing the quest.]]> 2022-01-08 00:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981300065 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981309878 There is a scene where Megara and Hercules kiss and that scene expresses the love between them and also the romantic part if the book. The whole adventure revolves around here since Megara is only doing the adventure to be with Hercules who has to become a god there for she has to become a god too.]]> 2022-01-08 00:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981309878 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981330402 In these pages Megara is given the next clue to the quest in which she remembers her long lost friend.

I think this means a pretty smell that grows in a heavenly place.]]> 2022-01-08 02:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981354318 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981371281 I think the word drachmas means may it was a form of money before or a simple way of saying value.]]> 2022-01-08 02:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981371281 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981374150 I think the theme of this book was multiple not only love, but also loss, and courage. Love is shown in this book may times as Megara is powered by love on her quest. Lost is also shown when here mother dies and when her friend dies. Courage is shown when she has the bravery to go into a ancient creatures cave, knowing that there is a possibility of not coming out.]]> 2022-01-08 02:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981374150 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981376438 During page 18 and all the way to the end of page 19, the mood was excited, and happy, but once they came to the end of 19 where Zeus said "No", the mood was confused for a moment then upset, and sad.]]> 2022-01-08 02:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981376438 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981377580 Starting from page 69 the mood has suddenly turned, scared, frightened, and afraid since the creature, the Empusa revealed itself.]]> 2022-01-08 02:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981377580 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981382215 In this page Hera gives Megara the quest, so the mood at the moment is confused before, and then the mood changed to serious after Megara realized Hera wasn't joking.]]> 2022-01-08 02:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981382215 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981387000 2022-01-08 03:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981387000 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981390011 How do you think Megara feels when Zeus says no for Hercules to stay a mortal?


Answer: I think she feels disappointed, and upset since she loves Hercules and not letting him make his own decision is a little controlling.]]> 2022-01-08 03:12:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981390011 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981391974 Do you think Megara should become a god?

Answer: I do think Megara should become a god since not only can she spend eternity with Hercules, she can also changed the world in a good way. She could prevent wars, arguments between the gods, etc.]]> 2022-01-08 03:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981391974 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981393289 If you were Megara, would you go into the strange cave which the music was coming from?


Answer: I would go in the cave but I would go only to see and not interact with anything that would be in the cave.]]> 2022-01-08 03:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981393289 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981402125 During these pages she is riding a friendly creature and is chased by the Empusa as the empusa attacks them in mid-air with its claws.

This reminds me of a movie called "Red Tails", WWII movie that includes a dogfight(an airplane shootout) as they tail each other trying to shoot the other team down.]]> 2022-01-08 03:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981402125 ashukla6 https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981403724 In these pages, Megara is riding Pegasus(a friendly creature) down from the mountain of Olympus and she is scared and yelling because Peg is now slowing down.

This reminds me of a movie called "Iron Man 3", in this movie there is a scene where passengers of a plane are sucked out of the plane and start falling.]]> 2022-01-08 03:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ashukla6/qma2exxxdojhnuav/wish/1981403724
