Inside was a two-foot-long metal cylinder, spiked on both ends, humming with energy." (Riordan). This is the climax because Percy Jackson has been on a quest to find the bolt to realize that he has it the whole time, and since he found it, it made the gods angry,]]> 2018-05-14 00:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260289988 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260291280 There are plenty of settings in 'The Lightning Thief,' but the one I will describe is Mount Olympus. Mount Olympus is a beauteous place, on the peak of a mountain with its peak covered in snow. There were plenty of palaces, all with white-columned porticos, with bronze braziers glowing with a thousand fires. Palaces glittered white and silver, with twelve thrones in the shape of a U.]]> 2018-05-14 00:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260291280 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260292446 The Exposition begins when Percy Jackson arrives at Camp Half-Blood. "The last thing I remember is collapsing on a wooden porch, looking up at a ceiling fan circling above me, moths flying around a yellow light, and the stern faces of a familiar-looking bearded man and a pretty girl..." (Riordan 56). The familiar bearded man is his teacher and hero, Chiron. And the blonde hair girl is his future girlfriend to-ne, Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. "He's the one. He must be." (Riordan 56). This develops the conflict for not only the book, but the whole story, where Annabeth states that Percy is the one for the prophecy that will change mankind forever.]]> 2018-05-14 00:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260292446 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260295226 Simile: "I looked down and almost shot out of the water like a ballistic missile." (Riordan 270).

Metaphor: "some days, you could tell what mood it was in. Most days, though, it was unreadable, mysterious." (Riordan 354). Compares the ocean as moody and mysterious without using like or as.

Hyperbole: "The roar that followed made Hades's earthquake look like a minor event." (Riordan 330). This is a simile also, but a god's earthquake is never a minor event, so Percy is over exaggerating.]]> 2018-05-14 00:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260295226 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260297328 "You have made an enemy, godling," (Riordan 331). (This is after Ares lost the fight to Percy). This is an alternative ending.

"SLICE" That is the sound of Percy's head getting sliced off. "HA! You weakling! I told you that you are no match for a God!!" Annabeth and Grover cower in fear.

How did you lose to Percy? I know he is the son of your uncle, Poseidon, but how!! He is a 12 year old kid!!! How does the god of war, you, lose to a kid, in a fight? You need to do better, or be a god of something else. Because obviously, war is not for you.

I strongly recommend this novel because it has clear elements that appeal to many types of people. Romance, comedy, violence, loss, depression, confusion, victory, failure, and hope. These qualities all in one book has to be one big roller coaster! This roller coaster of a book is a great book, and I believe it will surprise you.]]> 2018-05-14 01:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260300520 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260300999 Why does Annabeth like Luke but not Percy?

Annabeth likes Luke because Luke was that hero figure when Annabeth ran away, and Annabeth looked up to her, and fell head over heels. Percy was just an annoying friend to her, until later in the series.

Why is Grover bullied from other students?

Grover was bullied because he was different, and his differences made it easy for other kids to bully him. He was scrawny, emotional, cripple, and he walked funny.


What happened to Percy's Mom?

Percy's mother did not die, but she has dissolved in a golden flash, and kept frozen in the Underworld.]]> 2018-05-14 01:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260300999 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260302142 Fight for what is believed in.

The differences are he is a sidekick, and I can never be that. The connection is us getting bullied, where we walk weird and run funny. He is a satyr so that's his excuse, but I broke the same leg twice and it has not fully recovered. However, Grover does not stand up to them, he lets it happen, and me, I don't let it happen because if it does, bad things happen.]]> 2018-05-14 01:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260302695 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260303101 The Lightning Thief is told in the first person, by Percy Jackson. Percy Jackson explains his life before Camp Half-Blood, how he is a troublemaker. How arriving at Camp Half-Blood was a tough event. How his quest was difficult but fun, and how his least favorite god is Ares. And also, how Mount Olympus is extraordinary.]]> 2018-05-14 01:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260303101 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260303359 This book reminds me of the movie, The Lightning Thief, released in 2010 and directed by Chris Columbus.

You don't go around using them for no reason." (Riordan page 69). This is my favorite quote because it is so true.

The resolution is that the lightning bolt is safely returned, and that the thief of the bolt is from Camp Half-Blood. Luke stole the bolt, and has given his life to Kronos. Luke has put a scorpion on Percy to show him he has switched sides, and the Percy almost kills Percy, and after the Camp finds out about this, they isolate themselves from Luke.]]> 2018-05-14 01:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260305079 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260307008 On page 175, it reads, "What's that hissing noise?" he asked." (Riordan). This shows how Grover is using his ears, to hear the hissing noises of the snakes in Medusa's hair. No one else heard it, but Grover heard the snakes because he realized her identity.


"It smelled nothing like burning food. It smelled of hot chocolate and fresh-baked brownies, hamburgers on the grill and wildflowers..." (Riordan 105). This indicates Percy using his sense of smell of how smoke smells like, delicious!

"Chocolate-chip cookies," I said. "My mom's. Home-made." (Riordan 61). This means that Percy is drinking nectar, which is supposed to taste like nectar, and he is using his taste buds to taste a welcoming taste.]]> 2018-05-14 02:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260307008 4801714443 https://padlet.com/4801714443/r8q87yffoxc1/wish/260308135 _Sountrack For Percy Jackson

Drowning- By Kodak Black and A Boogie wit Da Hoodie. --This song is on his playlist because even though it is impossible, there are points in Percy's life where he feels like he is drowning, or wants to.


Dear Mama- Lil Uzi Vert
This song is on his playlist because Percy really loves his mother, and in this song, LIl Uzi Vert states, "Like my dad Imma grinder-" where him and Poseidon are godlike and share similar traits according to Percy's mom.


Shawn Mendes- Hold on
This song is on his playlist because Percy, when making decisions and fighting monsters, and almost dying, usually wants to give in and stop everything. But this song will tell him to hold on, and to persevere for the greater good.

How are you so young and powerful? -It is not fair that he is 12 years old and can't drown, breathe underwater, and control water while killing monsters. He beat a god 1 on 1 for god's sake!

2. Do you like Annabeth? -I know he does, but you got to ask him to get him worked up and nervous. 

3. If you had no weapons and could use no powers, who would win in a fight, you or Clarisse?- I only ask him this because I want to test his confidence in himself.

4.What or who do you love the most?- I am expecting his answer to be his mom, which it would most likely be. But how about his powerful abilities, Grover, Camp Half-Blood, Poseidon, or maybe even Annabeth?

5.

Percy did not know who he was, but now I think that he does.
He's the son of the God of the Sea, the god of Earthquakes who shows no mercy.
Percy finds his weaknesses are his great strengths, where those "weaknesses" will take him to great lengths.
That dyslexia and ADHD, made him return the bolt safely.

One example is found on page 161, reading, "All three of them," Grover whimpered. "Di immortales!" (Riordan).

I nudged Grover. "Oh," he said. "Um... drowned...in the bathtub." "All three of you?" Charon asked. We nodded. "Big bathtub," Charon looked mildly impressed." (Riordan). First of all, what would be so impressive about three people dying in a bathtub. This is amusing because how three people get in a bathtub that deep, without knowing how to swim.
