Arjun (ASB)

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?

The Throne of Fire (ASB)

Recently I started reading the book The Throne of Fire by one of my favorite authors Rick Riordan. This book is about how Apophis ( The Egyptian god of Chaos) is trying to get out of the Duat so he can swallow the sun and Chaos can rule forever. So Carter and Sadie try to wake up Ra ( The sun god) so chaos cannot rule.

I really easily got sucked up into this book because the author Rick Riordan makes the book really suspenseful by making you think that Carter and Sadie will not be able to accomplish their mission. When I was reading the story I kept on thinking about how Carter and Sadie felt accomplishing so many obstacles and trying to save the world even though they might have gotten killed themselves.

Rick Riordan makes you get a picture in your mind. For example this part: “  His eyes were full of loneliness. I couldn’t believe he would hurt us - until he drew from his belt two very large knives with curly blades like his horns.” In my mind I could see and harmless creature who  turns into a ferocious beast.

This is a really powerful book which made me think about confidence and overcoming challenges. Have you ever been confident and been able to overcome challenges?

The Sea of Monsters (ASB)

The Sea of Monsters is another great book by Rick Riordan. Rick Riordan is an author who plays around with mythology. In this book he uses Greek mythology. The main character in this book is Persues (Percy) Jackson son of Poseidon.

Since this book was number two in the series it was almost impossible not to be really eager to read the series for the second time. Rick Riordan puts a series of really interesting chapters and has other chapters that make you feel different.  Meaning that Rick Riordan makes you have lots of different emotions. For example, one of them might be: getting really excited and wanting to read more.

Rick Riordan is an author that puts many feelings inside your head. Have you read any books that put strong emotions in your head? Let me know by commenting.
