The proper word used for this type of situation is misfortune and misfortune is the decision of fate because it is the consequence humans put upon themselves by their actions. Humans do selfish things and expect the good to come of it and all that comes out of it is the bad, did anyone ever take the time to think that misfortune even affects those who do not deserve it but it was fate who chose to do it.

    In the movie Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Columbus did a really good job of taking the original theme good Vs evil from D’aulaires “The legend of Perseus.” My first piece of evidence is when a monster from the underworld kidnaps Percy’s mom and Percy wants to save her. In the original story Perseus is working for the king because he wants to buy a gift for him and his mom for the wedding because the king will take his mom. As in the movie instead of the king taking the mom the giant underworld monster kidnapped her. Next, in both the movie and the story Medusa appears sometime in the movie and story. Both Percy and Perseus have to fight medusa and slay her. Unlike the story Percy had a choice whether to take her head back or not. But,

  • Greek Mythology in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

    1443 Words  | 3 Pages

    Percy Jackson is the main character in this story, who is a demi god, who mortals are after. His name is short for Perseus and his father is one of the big three gods, Poseidon. He is suffering from dyslexia and ADHD, which could be deliberately added to the character by Riordan, to show he is meant to be a hero, and not to do well in school. This shows that school is not what he is good at, and he is destined to be a hero and save people. The character Grover, who plays Percy’s best friend, parallels a Satyr who is human from the waist up and goat from the waist down and is a companion of wine God, Dionysus, who we later learn, is the camp director for Half-Blood Camp.

    As time evolves, so do the words that are essential for our everyday survival. The most obvious difference between humans and animals is our ability to master the art of speech. Often, people will say the “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”, a simple nursery rhyme that helps ease a bullied child from abusive words and taunts. But does that really help cure the emotional pain? Words can illuminate and motivate the minds of people but can also shadow their self-esteem through psychological trauma. In The Book Thief, we see how fundamental words were to shape the reality of millions of people caught in the fire of World War II.

  • Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

    My original thought when comparing Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief the movie and Classical mythology was that there would be many more references to the myth of Perceus than any other myth throughout the movie in its entirety. That’s where I was wrong. After watching the movie again and researching the different hero myths my opinion has changed. My new thoughts are that the movie is not influenced by the myth of Perceus any more than other hero myths. The movie ties together many different heroes’ stories and mixes them together to make a wonderful story about a young boy. The movie was based on a book series written by Rick Riordan.

    Text to Text: What I just read in the book is similar to Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, because both Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson were trying to protect a precious object and also they both didn’t know about an ability they had before. Percy didn’t know about him doing stuff like breathing underwater, getting healed from water, and other things. Harry Potter didn’t know he could do magic, ride a broom, and other wizard stuff. Percy was trying to protect a thing called the lightning rod that Zeus, the greek sky god, used. Harry potter was trying to protect the Sorcerer's Stone, which is a thing that can make the elixir of life, and make metal turn into gold.

    The first novel of the series, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief , is where Percy’s Hero’s Journey begins, encompassing the first five stages. The Ordinary World, the first stage, is the introduction of the main hero. “The hero, uneasy, uncomfortable or unaware, is introduced sympathetically so the audience can identify with the situation or dilemma” (Campbell). Percy Jackson, a twelve year old diagnosed with both dyslexia and ADHD living in New York with his loving, over-worked mother and abusive stepfather, begins his story attending a boarding school for “troubled youth” and having a less than spectacular time being the new kid. Despite his good intentions of protecting his only friend Grover from a bully, Percy gets in trouble at school and is pulled aside by one of his teachers, whom is revealed to be the Fury Alecto, one of Hades’s servants in disguise. It is at this point in the story in which the second stage, The Call to Adventure, comes into play. Percy defeats the Fury with the help of a centaur named Chiron, t...
