Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

          I like this book because of the thrilling or suspenseful moments. I also like how Percy and his friend Annabeth overcome the conflict between their parents and become really good friends with each other. I also like how the action takes a role in this story. Almost everywhere they go, they encounter hostile wheter they be Furies, giant reptilian women, third-snake-third-fire-breathing-eagle-third-goat, or anything else, they always overcome their obstacles.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

           This book reminds me of the Harry Potter series. They both have a protagonist and the protagonist have two friends that are male and female. They both include magic but Percy's magic is invisible to the humans. They both are on a quest to save the world from people who like to start conflict. A chapter I read in the Lightning Thief reminded me of the chapter in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when they found a chamber that flooded with water except Percy's was at a water park. I am continuing to see some writing strategies of J. K. Rowling adopted by Rick Riordan. I hope to see more!

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

               Tonight, Percy and his two friends Annabeth and Grover. I am so happy I chose this book to be my KBAR because it is so thrilling from start to end. It is very suspense and action-packed. This book reminds me of the Harry Potter series because it has a Protagonist who is supposed to save the world. They both have friends who are helping out immensely. They are different because Harry Potter is based on magic and Percy Jackson and the Olympians are based on Greek gods.

     Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Tonight, Percy and his fellow campers played capture the flag. Percy was assigned to border patrol and was getting beat up by 6 of Ares' kids. He was patrolling the creek and when he stepped into the creek his senses were immediately activated. Thus, his father was determined. He is the son of Poseidon. With that as my evidence, I predict that he will become more popular because all the kids at the camp picked on him for being undetermined. I also predict that he will learn to achieve water based powers and master them. This will stop Clarisse, child of ares, from being able to bully him. I also believe that he will not be placed in cabin 3 (Poseidon's cabin) because Poseidon had no other children with mortals. Therefore, besides Percy, his cabin is empty.
