    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.

    They have to help Hera or else she will die and the giants will rise. The giants were the children of Gaea and are very hard to destroy. A god and a demigod (half human, half god) must fight together to destroy one of them. They were born to oppose each god. A prophecy is a prediction. The prophecies at camp Half-Blood are made by the oracle Rachel. Oracles get prophecies from the god Apollo. The three kids have to travel across America “From NY to San Francisco.” Along the way they face many monsters, gods, goddesses, and other obstacles. Of course just like the Percy Jackson series it has LOTS of humor. For example on page 192 “His name is Boreas? What is he the God of boring.” and “Can we just call them storm spirit? Venti makes them sound like evil espresso drinks.” Says Leo. Leo says this too. Also, Jason imagines this (Point to Slide). You might already be able to tell that the genre is some sort of a mixture of mythology, fantasy, and action. I love this book because I love Greek and Roman mythology. This series and the one before taught me all about mythology. It is action packed, which is one of my favorite genres. It has suspense, which is something I love. It has a lot of fantasy, another one of my favorite genres. And lots of personification. I recommend The Lost Hero to you strongly. This book is a strong piece of literature that has bits of lessons here and there. For example when
