The Titan’s Curse
By Rick Riordan
Chapter 1: My Rescue Operation Goes Very Wrong projectile
I’m wondering who Thalia’s mom is. She gets mad at Percy when he mentions her mom.

What has Chiron taught Thalia that he hasn’t taught Percy?
Who is Thalia’s father?
What is their purpose of being at Westover Hall?

Percysicle summon insufferable catapult projected

Chapter 4: Thalia Tortures New England
What does Apollo drive?
I thought it was funny when Thalia said, “Apollo is hot.” Then Percy replied that he is the sun god.
That’s an example of irony or a pun. It’s playing with the word “hot” because it has two meanings.
Apollo is a lot different from his sister. Write at least two ways they are different.
Ha! I loved Apollo’s haiku poem! Haiku is a form of poetry from Japan that is usually about nature.
How many syllables are in each line of a haiku?
1 st line _______ 2 nd line _______ 3 rd line _______
That was a great chapter! How did it end?
Chapter 5: I Place an Underwater Phone Call
I think it’s interesting how Apollo said good-bye to Thalia and Percy. Since he is the god of prophecy, he knows things that they don’t know yet.
In this chapter we find out what happened to Thalia’s mom. Percy assumes it has something to do with Thalia being so nervous to drive the sun van. Thalia’s reaction to Percy when he mentions it makes me think she was nervous for a different reason. What happened to her mom?
Percy talks to his halfbrother Tyson and finds out that Luke’s boat is near the Panama Canal. What two bodies of water does the Panama Canal link?
Chapter 6: An Old Friend Comes to Visit
It’s interesting that Percy had a bad dream about Annabeth the same night that Zoe had a bad dream about Artemis. I wonder what happened to Clarisse.
Who is the old friend that comes to visit?
What does she say is going to happen?

Chapter 12: I Go Snowboarding With a Pig
What is “the gift from the Wild” that Grover was talking about?
What saved Percy when he got shot in the back?
Interesting. Thalia, daughter of Zeus, the Lo rd of the Sky, is afraid of heights. That’s another example of irony.
Who is the Lord of the Wild and why is it significant that they all felt his presence?
Chapter 13: We Visit the Junkyard of the Gods
Saguaro (pronounced sawaro) cacti are those huge cacti with arms you can see in the desert. They can be from 15 to 50 feet tall!
I wonder why Bianca and Nico stayed at the Lotus Hotel in Las Vegas and who got them out.
Which god and goddess does Percy meet in the middle of the desert?
What did Bianca steal from the junkyard?
