  • The Lightning Thief Hero's Journey

    1315 Words  | 3 Pages

    As every work that involves a hero does, the journey starts with the Call to Adventure. Percy’s individual call occurs when he is on a school field trip after he is life alone with his teacher Mrs. Dodds. Without any indication, she transforms into a fury and viciously attempts to attack Percy. While in the process of this she repeatedly asks him “where is the bolt?”. Muddled, he evades her until his Latin teacher, Mr. Brunner gives him a pen that when clicks, transforms into a sword. Throughout the movie, this remains as Percy’s Talisman, or an item with special significance to the hero. At this point, Percy is completely bewildered. He is not yet told why that event occurred, but when he is, he is not promptly ready to accept his mission. This rejection is known as the Refusal of the Call and is another aspect of the hero’s journey. Percy does not believe that he could be a demigod, for he views himself as an inept, dyslexic boy with ADHD. He readily is taken home by Grover to pack and explain to his mom that he has been “found”. Grover then reveals himself as Percy’s protector and reveals that he is a satyr. In the hero’s journey, this mythical mentor is known as the Supernatural Aid. Grover then tells Percy that he is being taken to a safehouse, Camp Halfblood, for kids like him. As Percy, his mother, and Grover near the camp, a minotaur appears and endeavors to capture Percy for stealing

  • 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.

    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

  • Analysis of Percy Jackson and the Olympians

    2756 Words  | 6 Pages

    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...
