Recently I read a book called Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. In this book Zeus, the god of the sky thinks that Percy stole his master lightning bolt. He also blamed Poseidon, the god of water because he is Percy’s son. His mother also died at the beginning. Hades, the brother of Zeus was trapped in a mansion. He trapped a girl and forced her to marry him. Percy also visits Hades in the book. He kills Hades also.

I think that his father loved Percy so much. For example, he built a whole cabin on a lake with some of his weapons. Another example is that he really wanted to meet him because his brother, Zeus had banned all gods from making physical contact with their children. So this means that Percy’s father, Poseidon loved Percy.

I also think that his mother also loved him. For example, she sacrificed her life for Percy. Another example is that she let him drink a ton of coke and he got a monstrous soda burp. That burp was about 10 seconds long in my opinion. So this means that not only Percy’s father loves him, but his mom also loves him.

I think that Zeus thought that Percy stole his lightning master bolt. For example, Zeus and Poseidon have a link between them. Another example is that he is jealous that P.’s son is still alive and Z.’s daughter is a tree that guards the camp that Percy lives in. So this means that Zeus thinks that Percy stole Zeus's lightning master bolt.

Actually, Luke hid Zeus's lightning master bolt. In the end, he actually hid the master bolt in his shield which he made Percy take with him.

Do you think that someone has stolen something from you even though they didn’t?

Week 1: Group 3- My Side of the Mountain Response

In chapters 1-3, Sam decides to move to Catskill mountains.  In these chapters, he is up to the survival skill test.  Why do you think he moved to Catskill mountains?  What would you do if you were him?

I think that in chapters 1-3 Sam made a good and bad choice. The bad part of it was that he would be limited to his resources and live a lower quality life. The good part about it was that he would be more independent and be in a less crowded environment.

I think he moved to Catskills mountain because he was in New York City. In New York City, it was very, very crowded. I think he visited Catskills mountain a couple of times, so he has some background knowledge of Catskills mountain. He also has the basic knowledge of Catskills mountain.

If I were him, I would go back to New York City and get all of my belongings and head to Catskills mountain.  I would make one big bonfire and sleep next to it at night. I would be limited to resources, so I would chop a bunch of trees down. I wonder if he was thinking very deep or did he just take his chances?
