The Sea of Monsters Prediction
In the book The Sea of Monsters Percy tries to get the Golden Fleece and save his friend Grover from a giant Cyclops. Percy needs to get the Golden Fleece back because the camps magical borders have been poisoned. I believe that Ares the god of war poisoned the borders because the only thing protecting Percy from monsters in the outside world is the borders. The reason Ares would do this is because in book one Ares told Percy “watch out, I will get you” right after Percy beat him in a sword fight. As for finding the Golden Fleece and his friend Grover I think they will find them both and live happily ever after… for now. I think this because there are three more books in the series.

Grover Limerick
Grover is Percy's Friend
He doesn't quite fit the trend
He is a Satyr
Who's made for Greater
And a friend I'm willing to defend
He doesn't quite fit the trend
He is a Satyr
Who's made for Greater
And a friend I'm willing to defend

Percy Jackson Limerick
Percy Jackson is a demigod
Son of Poseidon; the sea god
He goes on a Quest
Trying his best
And his quest turns out quite odd
Son of Poseidon; the sea god
He goes on a Quest
Trying his best
And his quest turns out quite odd

Percy Jackson Charactor Analysis
Authors Note: this piece is an essay I wrote for Language Arts. The character I chose to use was Percy Jackson from the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan(you should read the book its very good) to help understand the essay you may want to read the book.
Percy Jackson is an interesting character. In the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan the main character Percy Jackson is somebody that changes a lot. He started as an outcast who gets picked on daily and becomes the Demigod (a demigod is somebody with a normal human parent and one god parent) that everyone wants to be and looks up to.
Percy’s change didn’t happen overnight though; it took him the course of the book for his true colors to show. Beginning the book off, Percy has a negative view on life; he thinks that thanks to his ADHD and dyslexia he's going to amount to nothing at life. Little does he know at the time that these two things are his greatest strengths. He finds this out later in the book when he says “I now understand what Annabeth had said about ADHD keeping you alive in battle. I was wide awake, noticing every little detail”. Another thing that that changes throughout the book is the fact that Percy gets stronger and starts to realize that he is indeed very important, so important that Percy is once told that “The Gods have big plans for him”.
Throughout the book he makes a bunch a few friends that could be of great use to him in the future when he tries to defeat Luke. Unfortunately he makes an enemy out of someone you definitely don't want to be enemies with, Ares the god of war. Percy Jackson is quite possibly the most important Demigod since Hercules.

“What will happen at the summer solstice?” Analysis
Authors Note: this piece is a piece in witch i am analyzing
Annebeth asked Percy Jackson “What will happen at the summer solstice?” when he was slipping in and out of consciousness after he defeated the Minotaur in the beginning of the book. She asked this Question because she knew something big was going to happen on Olympus on the summer solstice little did she or Percy know that the big thing happening was going to be the start of a war. The only way to stop the war would be Percy Annebeth and Grover returning Zeus’s Master bolt by the summer solstice.

Percy Jackson speech
Authors Note: This piece is a speech i wrote and presented to my class.
Percy Jackson is the main character in the book The Lightning Thief and throughout the book he changes a lot. For example in the beginning of the book he is a normal twelve year old kid who has ADHD and dyslexia. He has been kicked out of six schools in the past six years. Percy is what some may call a problem child. He has a negative view in life thinking that he will never amount to anything important. Nor does he believe in the ancient Greek Gods in which plays a big role in his life.
But by the end of the book he realized that he is the son of Poseidon and is a Demigod (a demigod is a person who has one parent who is a god and one who is a normal human being). He is actually a rather special demigod because his dad Poseidon is one of the big three gods. This makes him special because he has more powers than normal Demigods. Percy also has realized that he is very important and that the gods have plans for him.
