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.
