The Lighting Thief
From the moment I
read the first page of LT, I was not only in love with the books, but I was also
in love with Percy himself. Throughout
this first book, I loved getting to know Percy, his humor and how brave he is. Would
you go off into a world full of monsters you just learned about to retrieve a
lost lightning bolt and your mom from Hades?
The consequence is a) being turned into a dolphin, b) destruction of both
worlds, or c) both ‘a’ and ‘b’. It took a lot of courage for Percy, Annabeth,
and Grover’s to do this.
Sea of
Monsters
Percy defying all the
rules to save Grover showed that he is a true friend. This proves his fatal flaw which is shown
over and over again. I love how Percy stood
up for Tyson (Who I love!!), even though at first he was embarrassed by him, by
saying, “Brother! Tyson, my baby brother!”
Titan’s Curse
(This book is mostly
a Percabeth moment.) The fact that Percy
was determined to save Annabeth, even if he had to sneak out of camp, made me
happy. In Annabeth’s post, I compared
how long Percy held the sky compared to Annabeth. I wasn’t calling Percy a wimp or anything I
was just comparing how long they each held the sky. It really surprised me that they both were
able to hold the sky so long.
The
Battle of Labyrinth
Now I want to talk about Calypso’s
island. The fact that Percy decided to
go back to Annabeth showed his loyalty to Annabeth.
Last
Olympia
Percy changes so much
from the last four books to this book.
Not a big change. A surprising
change in that he was able to command so many people in such a short amount of
time. And the whole being made a god thing…it was
very sweet that Percy refused the offer in order to be made a god.
Lost Hero
I can’t say anything.
There was only one mention of Percy, and it was that he was missing.
Son of
Neptune
Percy changed so
much from between LO and SoN. I want to
talk about Percy’s only memory which was of Annabeth first. Some people may say that Hera left the memory
of her on purpose - bla bla bla. Well, I
know that is not the cause. Rick Riordan
himself has said that Annabeth was just too strong of a memory. I had to get that out of the way. Now onto something else…Percy seemed so much
older in this book. I know that he is
older, but he actually seemed so much older.
Mark of
Athena
The fact that Percy
refused to leave Annabeth’s side was so sweet.
It made me happy to know that even while Percy was on a quest to free
Death and save Camp Jupiter, his love for Annabeth grew. I can only imagine how hard it was for Percy
to let Annabeth go off on that quest by herself. I knew and he knew that Annabeth had to go
by herself, but I think we both thought that he would find a way to go on the
test with Annabeth. The whole Percy falling
with Annabeth thing is endearing.
I am very sorry that
this post is very short (in comparison to what it should be). I have been working at least 4 hours, and I
have found that it is very hard to describe Percy. I love him so much, but can’t explain
him. He is kind of like Leo in the he is
hard to explain, but Percy is MUCH harder to explain. I don’t know what it is. I also realized that
I kind of discuss Percy a bit in Annabeth’s post. So I was trying not to restate that.
Again, please forgive
me, and he is really hard to describe.
Please comment below. If you have
any suggestions about something for me to discuss tomorrow, please put that in
your comment too.
