Today I just stared 6th grad English! I already have an assignment: Write one page on the topic of your choice. So I choose Percy Jackson.

Percy Jackson

I chose the topic to write about the book Percy Jackson, I chose this topic because this is one of my most favorite book series, there are at least three different series, I’m currently reading the second book from the second series and just like the first book I have mixed emotions first I’m mad then I happy then I’m mad again, because Percy is at Camp Jupiter, a Roman camp for demigods. Demigod: half god half mortal. Like I said it’s a Roman Camp. Percy is from a Greek Camp.  Camp Half Blood. He shows up with no memory, the only thing he remembers is Annabeth, his girlfriend. He doesn’t know who he is or where he came from, it annoys me. I wish I could just go into the story and put him back where he belongs. But that is not going to work, so I’m just going to have to keep reading and see what happens. But as always Rick Riordan has an amazing sense of humor, example,

He managed to swivel sideways to avoid breaking his legs, on impact. The snack platter skittered across the roof and sailed through the air. The platter went one way and Percy went the other. As he fell toward the highway, a horrible scenario flashed through his mind: his body smashing against an SUV’s windshield, some annoyed commuter trying to push him off with the wipers. Stupid sixteen-year-old kid falling from the sky! I’m late! – Percy- The heroes of Olympus- The Son of Neptune- Chapter 2- Page 14.

“Elections only happen in two ways,” Reyna said. “Either the legion raises someone on a shield after a major success on the battlefield- and we haven’t had any major battles- or we hold a ballot on the evening of June 24, the Feast of Fortuna. That’s in five days.”

Percy frowned. “You have a feast for tuna?” 

“Fortuna,” Hazel corrected. – Percy- The heroes of Olympus- The Son of Neptune- Chapter 3- Page 41.

As Hazel marched down the hill, she cursed in Latin. Percy didn’t understand all of it, but he got son of a gorgon, power-hungry snake, and a few choice suggestions about where Octavain could stick his knife. – Percy- The heroes of Olympus- The Son of Neptune- Chapter 4-Page 59.    

“Can’t grow on this, can you?” she yelled. Go away, you bunch of weeds! Leave me alone!” 

“Schist,” said an angry voice from the grass.

Hazel raised her eyebrows. “Excuse me?”

“Schist! Big pile of schist!”

A nun at St. Agnes Academy had once washed Hazel’s mouth with lye soap for saying something very similar, so she wasn’t sure how to respond. -Hazel- The heroes of Olympus- The Son of Neptune- Chapter- 19- Page -218.

“Thanks for yelling. We wouldn’t have found you otherwise. How’d you hold them off so long?”

She pointed to the rock. “A big pile of schist.”

“Excuse me?”

“Guys,” Frank called from the top of the rock. “You need to see this.”

Percy and Hazel climbed up to join him. As soon as Hazel saw what he was looking at, she inhaled sharply. “Percy, no light! Put up your sword!”

“Schist!” -Hazel- The heroes of Olympus- The Son of Neptune- Chapter- 20- Page -224.
