Why do I like this
book?
• This book is about...Learning how to
fight and protect others as well as
yourself in the real world.
• What is the conflict...Person vs. Personthis is with Percy and Luke. Percy tries
to do good for the gods; however, Luke
is doing wrong for Kronos(king Titan)
My Favorite Part in the Book
Concluding details
• Mood: Suspense- I believe
that this is the mood because
I was always wondering what
would happen next.
• Theme: Finding Courage is
the central theme. I believe
this because Percy has to
find courage to fight and
defend mortals.
• Opinions: I loved this book.
It was very suspicious and
suspenseful. I loved the use
of adjectives and how it was
written in first person.
