Percy’s relationship with other characters reveal a lot about who he is.The feelings with his mother is that there close. Percy feelings his dad is he thinks he’s a coward and Percy doesn't like his step father. Percy's feelings with his mom is that they are both close because in the text it says “But ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. She baked blue birthday cakes. She mixed blueberry smoothies. She bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop. This—along with keeping her maiden name, Jackson, rather than calling herself Mrs. Ugliano—was proof that she wasn't totally suckered by Gabe. She did have a rebellious streak, like me.” This shows they are close because he calls her mom and cares about
Good vs. Evil is a prominent theme in both The Odyssey and The Lord of the Flies through the characterization and plot elements. This is shown in both through internal and external conflicts. The theme also makes both stories more compelling, as it can be applied to real life situations.
Percy Jackson lives a normal but hard life. The reader is able to determine that this is the ordinary world as Percy has not been told his true identity. Percy thinks he is an ordinary average teenage boy attending sixth grade at his sixth school, Yancy Academy which is a “private school for troubled kids in upstate New York.” Percy mentions that his life is quite confusing as well as he describes he has dyslexia and ADHD. These are the problems create a major issues as they affecting and make his academic achievement difficult. At birth Percy’s first father had left him and his mother. After his father left them his mother decided to get remarried. From Percy’s point of view this was not a smart choice as his step father treated her poorly. Percy is definitely unsatisfied and frustrated with her decision as he respects and cares about her a lot. Percy also greatly loves his mother as he defends her when she is disrespected by his stepfather. Percy seems to only have one real friend, Grover who is scrawny and “on top of all that, he is crippled”. He does not associate with other kids as he feels he does not belong with them. The reason he is in trouble at home and school could be that others don’t recognize and realize him as well as he does not understand his place. This is what the reader would classify as Percy’s ordinary world. From this point on, the story will further develop into the next stage call to adventure as the ordinary world seems to be a place the he despises.

For starters, Percy is the son of Poseidon, which I think is pretty awesome. Being the son of Poseidon also means that he can practically breath underwater without requiring those nasty gills people see on fish. Besides being able to breath underwater, Percy is also pretty great at being the comical relief in those tense monster fighting situations. Also, since Percy used to be the only main character in Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, I’m already used to the way he acts and talks to other characters. In all I love that Rick brought my favorite character Percy back into the
During a chariot race, the campers are attacked by Stymphalian Birds, Tantalus, who was replacing Chiron at the time, sends Clarisse La Rue on a quest to go find the fleece. Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson run away from camp to go and find the fleece themselves. Hermes, the god of jacks, thieves, messages, etc., gives them gifts to help them on their quest. Percy asks his dad, Poseidon, to help them get to a cruise ship on the horizon. Three Hippocampi appear from the water and carries the three of them to the cruise ship named the Princess Andromeda. Once aboard the ship, they discover that the ship seems to be deserted, but find fully stocked cabins to sleep in. In the morning they wake up to find the ship full of tourists, but all of the tourists seem kind of off, as if they were in some sort of a trance. Then they discover that the ship is infested with monsters as well. The three are captured by Luke Castellan, who is the owner of the ship. Percy and his friends discover that Luke is transporting the ship with monsters and the remains of the Titan Kronos in a golden sarcophagus. Luke was going to also find the fleece and bring back Kronos to
In conclusion, Caliban and Gollum are similar because they are created by dark sources, they have physical similarities, and because they both behave similarly. Both characters, though placed in different scenarios and different worlds, have deep physical and physiological connection. The argument that Gollum was perhaps based off of Caliban is stronger than it may seem. Many books and movies are based off of Shakespeare's works, so perhaps this is just one of the many.
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
Greek Mythology in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Rick Riordan’s ‘Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief’ focuses on Greek mythology and interprets this into a children’s story. Throughout the story, there are many references and adaptations to mythological tales, and each one is portrayed in a different way. Riordan writes this story as though Hercules, Zeus and Poseidon were still around today, and this would be the effect they would have on people in this day and age.
Suffice it to say that Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a contemporary masterpiece of a series and is more than worth its salt in the context of classic, factual Greek mythological references. Therefore, one can examine the series through the scope of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey and explore the heroic parallels between Percy Jackson and the great Greek heroes Perseus, Theseus, and Hercules through a timeless lens.
