I read Percy Jackson and the lightning thief by Rick Riordan at first I didn’t want to read it but, after being forced to read it by my friend I end up enjoying it. The book is a fantasy/adventure book it talk about Percy a kid who live in new york that has a very important father. His father is a god which makes him a half-blood. After just reading the first few pages I couldn’t put the book it was just amazing book that I bet that you can’t put down either. Its is the first book in a series of many incredible books by Rick Riordan, and you know a book is good if it has a money and of course it does. Also remember the book is always better than the movie. Percy Jackson a six grade in New York city that has a bright future, but not because he is smart because his father is a god. His mother is a human so that mean that he is a half-blood. One day during a field trip Percy and his friend Grover were hangin out when a bully came and attacked Grover and Percy got mad and water from …show more content…
a fountain flow on the bully. After that Percy is taken aside to be punished, but instead the teacher because a fury and when to attack him. Until Mr.Brunner throw him a pen. Percy was confused until Mr.Bunner told him to click it and then it became a sword that he used to kill the fury, and this is the began of Percy’s adventure. The setting in the Percy jackson goes from place to place.
The first major place was the Half-blood Camp. Where Percy and other Half-blood trained to fight monster. They also go to the underworld where Percy and his friends meet Hades and talk to him about things. The point of view in the story is third point told by a narrator. The mood in the story is a mix of confusion, excitement, and just plain awesomeness. The theme of the story is nothing is what it seems because a lot of thing end up being twists. The book wasn’t longest or shortest book i’ve ever read but it was one of my favorites so far. The book writing style was a lot of back and forth from different carter which makes it feel like you're apart of it. The story is also very well told. When every there is an action scene, or something important then the author add imagery in to help you feel like you're watching it.The writing flow very well because you also know what going own in the story it never has a ------ story line
. Even though I was forced to read it by a friend I end up enjoying the book a lot. The book always seen to have a new surprise or a twist. The story is so well told that I have gone back and read it multiple times. I feel that is a good book you might disagree but it has adventure, fights, and magic. I know you might not be into that kind of books but if you our you should check this book out.
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...
I would recommend this book to people who love realistic stories. Personally for me it is hard to find books that interest me and this one felt like if I was watching someone else's life while I read it. It has so many interesting points. When you think something might happen
Percy Percy provides the novel with the perfect parallel to Dunstan. He does, however, contrast in many ways to Dunstan. They are best friends, but Percy rivalry results in the formation of the main setting of the novel. Percy also feels more of an attachment to material goods than Dunstan does. He thinks only of himself and is in constant pursuit of total and utter control. Percy was low moral standards in comparison to Dunstan and in some ways, feels he is of a higher stature than other human beings. This awkward relationship between him and Dunstan forms the basis of the novel.
The struggle for power relates to the lightning thief because in chapter 20 Percy battles Ares . Percy Jackson stated, “My body thought for me . The water seemed to push me into the air and i capluted over him,slashing as i came down “.I chose this quote because it was the moment that Percy uses his power . “ All that meant was my mom really had been squeezed into nothingness, dissovled into yellow light”.” I was alone. An orphan . I would have to live with … Smelly Gabe?”.

Percy Jackson is a very interesting character but he’s more interesting when they keep some his great characteristics in the movie. There are many differences along with similarities in the comparison between the book and the movie of Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief. One of the major differences between the two was how in the book Luke and Percy never fought for the bolt because Luke took it, but in the movie Luke and Percy have an epic battle for the bolt. A good similarity with the two is that they do a very good job in describing Percy’s background and how they were in the Lotus hotel and got stuck their for hours but realistically was 5 days. I will be discussing and some of the main similarities and differences
Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief, Literary Merit? Books that have literary merit tend to engage the reader with a conversation to the author in deep analysis with the use of juxtaposition, varying syntax, and a hidden deeper meaning within the literature. In Charlotte Bronte’s novel, Jane Eyre, it established its own literary merit by the books complexity, use of motifs, and the situations the readers can identify to. Rick Riordan’s novel, Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief, is a complex novel that teenagers can relate to, but it does not have the qualities of merit that Jane Eyre does.
Therefore, Percy Jacksons conflict would be that he doesn't want to be a half-blood. Also, he always had ADHD and dylexia. Throughout the book he struggles in class because of his ADHD. Besides that Percy always struggled with dyslexia because he gets easily distracted. On top
This is the true start to Percy’s quest. He made a few friends in the camp and they agreed to go on this journey with him. Those accompanying him were his protector Grover and Athena’s daughter Annabeth. They also get some helpful tools fro...
“Suspense combines curiosity with fear and pulls them up a rising slope.” - Mason Cooley. These emotions that suspense creates are intended to keep viewers interested and entertained while watching, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief”, directed by, Chris Columbus. “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” was filled with suspense. The three major elements the director used to generate suspense were conflict, sympathetic attachment to the protagonist and foreshadowing.
Overall I think this is a great book. I would recommend this book to others but you would have to read the first two books before this one. I would recommend this book because it has a great story line and there is never a dull moment.
Percy Jackson is a true hero. Imagine if you had the chance to save your mother, but put your own life at risk. When Percy was given this chance, he never even thought about his own life. When he saved the world, he didn't care if he put his own life in immense trouble. When he met his half brother, he stood up for him, not caring if no one liked him after. It is clear that there is no way that Percy Jackson can be thought of anything but a hero, which is what he truly
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.
My opinion of this novel is that it was a good book. If I personally had to pick a book to read it would not be my first choice. But overall I had an easy time reading this book and it actually meant something so it wasn’t too bad. At the end I was satisfied for the time read.
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...
