THE END OF A NEW BEGINNING !!!

They are all in the classroom when suddenly Stutts tell Emery to turn up the tv. Ther they were the news saying that Tucker suicide himself after being interrogated by the police about Stutts. Stutts yells in rage super angry not believing what just happened. So sad and angry with himself he pointe the gun in his hand up to his head when suddenly Jake jumps over and tackles Stutts avoiding for Patrick to see his dad shooting a bullet down his head. They fight and struggle, Jake tries to reach the gun when BUM!!! There he was jake laying on the ground with blood over his chest and Emery runs over him crying and yelling while she sees a little thing running out of the door, Mr.Worley (classroom’s pet) followed by Patrick. As soon as Patrick is out they all hear a shot, Stutts goes running towards Patrick’s body therefore they all hear a shot again watching a huge body go down in a flash. Everything happens so fast, Jake gets onto an ambulance as well as Patrick and Stutts’ body laying on the ground. As soon as Emery gets checked out by the paramedics she immediately heads to to the hospital were Jake and Patrick are. Emery’s mother tells her that Jake was in surgery and that Patrick is fine. When Emery arrives to intensive care at the hospital she gets a huge relief when she finds out that Jake is okey. Just when Jake wakes up Emery is there beside him in a chair, she tells him the story after he got shot in the chest. When patrick runned for Mr.Worley a bullet touched Patrick’s head and he had a concussion, he got shot by a new , young officer that was scared and just pulled the trigger and thank God he didn't hit the “target”. So patrick was fine but Stutts got shot after he ran for his son getting shot to death. Emery then told Jake that she wanted to be his girlfriend again and that she missed him. Everything ended almost well, a new couple , no dead children but to dead adults. This was “THIS IS NOT A DRILL” , the end of a new beginning.

QUOTES

“Tucker! Oh god, no! he yells, bending over and gripping his gut like he's been punched.

“I didn't answer,” Stutts  moans, sinking into a chair, his face all twisted. “I didn't answer the phone.”

This was when Stutts found out that his best friend, Tucker was dead and he felt guilty because minutes before Tucker had called to his phone but Stutts ignored him  hanging him out not knowing that after that he would kill, himself.After this Stutts was about to do the same but Jake stopped him. I bet that must feel awful, the fact that a friend needed your help and guidance and the next you know he is dead. That is indeed, a terrible feeling, I wonder if soldiers feel the same way when they lose their friends in war.

CONCLUSION

This was a great book although a pretty rough ending. The book definitely appeals to your feelings and makes you feel like you are in the class. I could perfectly visualize the events in the book at all time. I loved the intensity and action that this book had and so it's a great story to be the first author's nobel it is pretty impressive and a big accomplishment for Beck McDowell because she nailed it.  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is searching for a great story , easy and not extremely long. I congratulate the author for making a great story, again her first one , and simply outstanding. “THIS IS NOT A DRILL “  was definitely awesome because it has a hole bunch of factors  like it's appealing to the readers emotions that make the book great!!!

An important lesson to learn about

Just after Jake almost got caught taking the picture of the classroom, he then immediately sends the picture to his friend Cole through Mrs.Campbell’s phone.Jake told Cole through facebook in the computer to check out the picture that he had taken but he told Cole not to do anything with the police yet. Since the school day already should have been over, Emery told them to get some rest and sleep.Just when they are all sleeping the school’s fire alarm wakes everybody out and the kids start crying but there was no fire it was just a trick to see if Stutts would let the kids out and ran because they would think there is fre nearby.Stutts is really pissed for what they did by turning the alarm on. Emery then goes near Stutts and tries to make a connection with Stutts  by talking to him and eventually letting the kids go. Emery talks to Stutts and he replies,  he answers Emery’s questions about war and how terrible it is to see people die or kill people.Stutts talks about his friend that also came back from Iraq that got traumatized after what he had done at a battle. Tucker, Stutts’ best friend had accidentally killed a little girl’s mom because he saw that woman with a gun starring at Stutts in battle so he shot her thinking that she had a gun but was actually a candlestick. Tucker blames himself since then.

QUOTES

“War changes you,” he says. “You know things you didn't before.” He frowns. “It takes something from you that you never get back. One day you're picking’ pieces of brain matter of your shirt from the guy who was sitting next to you, and few weeks later-back home-you're supposed to get all worked up over whether the city’s gonna fix the potholes on Jefferson Street. Everybody wants to talk to you about gas prices or who's gonna win the football game. Who give a shit, man? People are dying all over the world.

Although I have never experienced warfare I can a gree with Stutts’ point. People dont care of what really matter and what is truly important.People care about money, clothes, cars, and many other material stuff but dont realize that whats important is right in front of their faces. People should care about family, friends, animals , the poor , health and life in general. That is what people should be worried mostly about.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion I think that this part of the book really was interesting. I liked a lot the quote that i putted there before because it is very true about its meaning and what really matters in life as a human being.I am also loving the book even more , its sacry but interesting at the same time . Plus we are finally coming to an end and I cant wait to see how it ends .

FINALLY SOME LITTLE RELIEF!!

As time goes on the kids are starting wanting to go to the bathroom and I don't blame them they are first graders.But Stutts does not allow bathroom breaks so Emery comes out with an idea to make their own bathroom using plastic tubes.The kids think it's creepy at first but then they all want to go.Earlier when Mrs.Campbell fainted, emery searched for the medication she was taking in her purse and she luckily found a phone so she came up with the idea for the kids to play games in the computer and after they are done Jake would be in the computer “playing” but really trying to contact someone online with Mrs.Campbell's phone internet. So then Emery asks Stutts and proves to him that they do not have internet by pulling away the internet cable from the computer.So, after the kids ended playing Jake stood there pretending to be bored playing in the computer while was trying the computer to get online. He did it!So he logged on facebook pretty fast and contacted his best friend Cole. Thank god he was online so they chated and Jake told him that they are in a very dangerous situation, Cole then was with the school's principal and Jake described the situation briefly. After Jake contacted his friend and some of the authorities he closed the window and went to be with the kids not to look suspicious. he went with the kids and sat  in the carpet with them and picked out Mr.Worley’s  cage (the class’ pet ) and freed him so that he could take some air, the kids played with them and loved it. After what the day had been now the kids started to hungry so they all gathered their lunch food, one kid even had cupcakes, Simon because it was his birthday, they wouldn’t  worry about food anymore. After being with the kids for a while Jake and Emery went “play” a game on the computer that they had loved in middle school.In the computer, Emery read the conversation wiith Cole and then read that Stutts’ wife was called Silda and Emery knew her! Silda is one of Molly's cousins (Molly is Emery’s best friend), she had a husband that returned from Iraq and he had suffered a psychological disease called PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) which means that war really affected him and so there were family trouble  and Stutts even punched her and more of physical violence, which is why Silda had taken full custody over their son, Patrick. Stutts starts to lose patience with all of the lousy 1st graders that can't shut up so Emery and Jake propose to make them leave and go with their families because Stutts is getting pretty frustrated with all the noise. So Stutts says to only let go the noisy ones but Jake tells him that he could let everyone go except for him because he is the major's son but he only lets go the noisy ones which leaves them with five kids inside the classroom.Thereafter they had released the kids just a few minutes later goes up to the computer to chat with cole and ends up chatting with police chief wich tells him to describe the situation exactly as it is and jake has the craziest idea to take a picture of the room with Mrs.Campbell's phone.Jake does it carefully and manages to take the picture but Stutts looks at him right after when he took the picture and goes over to him so in that time Jake closes the window and pops out the games hiding the phone as well.Luckily, Stutts notice.

relief!!!

QUOTES

“Okay ready,” comes the answer.

They move into the hallway-out of danger, thank God-without incident and I line up three more.”

This was when they were releasing some of the children  which lets only five kids total in the class.When i read thi I screamed, “YES” because luckily nothing happened to the children and at least most of them are safe now but I'm sad because of those five innocent remaining children.

“I hold my breath and snap the picture. Stutts looks over at me. My body tenses and my heart misfires. Shit! I'm not sure  what he’ll do if he catches me, but if past experience is any gauge, he tends to shoot when he's mad.”

When I read this I was pretty nervous about the picture because there is a lot of stuff you wonder when you read this like, did Stutts noticed that Jake had taken the picture? or will jake get killed? I was more nervous than ever when I read this quote because anything could  happen at the moment.

CONCLUSION

The book so far is awesome  and scary at the same time. I was shocked by some things that I found out while I was reading this section of the book like Stutts getting that psychological disease called PTSD.Finally they have released the majority of the kids which gives the reader which is me some kind of relief that the kids are finally save now although there is still huge danger going on.  

They can't CATCH a BREAK !!!

Everyone is in shock, Jake,Emery and Mrs.Campbell are very nervous and don't know what to do.The kids were scared at first but they look like better now that there is no current action to cry about.After some few minutes  later while everybody is in the class, Stutts looks over the door nervously so then he opens the door and saw a guard nearby that then starts approaching to the class. Finally he gets very closed by the class and Stutts just pulls the trigger and immediately closes the door even more nervous than before.Everybody is quiet but steady and scared by the sound of the gun, everybody is asking to themselves if that guard got killed. The kids are quiet and now very scared then one of the boys yells that he need to go to the bathroom and Stutts accepts it so Jake goes with the boy and while being at the bathroom were apparently no one is inside , Jake notices a kid behind the door which then gets out.Jake tells the kid to go to the principal's office to tell them what is going on, it's the only chance for people to find out that they are in danger.Jake gets back from the bathroom with the little first grader and acts normally like nothing had happened.After some minutes the classroom phone rings and Mrs.Campbell answers it and tells them what is going also telling them that Stutts won't “hurt” anybody but then Stutts shoots at the phone making it no longer able to work saying that Mrs.Campbell doesn't know what kind of man Stutts really is . He was a former soldier that went to Iraq where he killed many people even kids.Then after some minutes  all of the sudden one of the kids, Mason, yells out Mrs.Campbell’s name while Jake and Emery rush to look what just happened.There she was Mrs.Campbell laying on the ground, she had fainted. Then Emery starts to try and wake her up trying to imagine how could Jake and Emery go through all of this without her. Emery fans her air with a notebook , she even threw her water but she didn't woke up when Mason said that he saw Mrs.Campbell earlier inject herself some type of medicine and so Emery looks into her arm and finds out that she is diabetic and diabetic commas are dangerous . Jake tells Stutts that Mrs.Campbell needs help and has to go to the hospital right away. Stutts thinks that all of this is some kind of joke but he lets  Jake go out into the hall with her body and leave it there so that the people that are outside take her up to the hospital.Jake walked slowly in case there is anyone out there to shoot him thinking that he's Stutts so he announces that who is he and what is he doing.When he walks out he sees a hole bunch of policeman holding their weapons.Then Jake manages to see his dad the major and tells everybody what's going on while he leaves the body in safe hands. Jake then returns just in the time that Stutts gave him until he shoots another person.Stutts is now more nervous than ever knowing that they are surrounded by the authorities.He now prohibits people to go out for whatever reason.

QUOTES

“You don't know anything about me! I'm not the kind of man to kill people?Is that what you were going to say?That's not what the US Army says. They think I'm exactly that kind of man!”

As soon as I read this it made me realize not only that he is crazy and freaking scary but I cannot imagine what soldiers that go to places like Iraq must feel like after being at warfare. I think that living those kind of experiences really change you and your perspective about life and the importance of it.When I read this I also made a connection with a book that I have read recently called the giver were the protagonist jonas, experiences the feeling of warfare and it completely changes his perspective to view life and his surroundings.

Conclusion:

In this section of the book I couldn't stop reading because of its adrenaline. I'm startin to reach the climax of the book and I won't stop reading until I get there but until now it's awesome because it feels like the climax. I can't wait for what will happen next I'm feeling really nervous like Stutts.Overall I'm also liking the book a lot because there is lots of analysis that you can do and lots of connections that you can make.

SUCH, an INTENSE beginning!!!!!!

I read until chapter 7 of the book This is not a drill and it catches my attention right away !!!! It all starts in a first grade class with their teacher, ms.campbell and two high school seniors former boyfriend and girlfriend, Jake and Emery.They used to be a couple but Jake screwed it all up since he cheated unintentionally . Jake and Emery were working as extra teachers in ms.campbell’s class because of school credit.Everything started as usual in ms.Campbell's class , first graders would be happy to be at school with their friends and at ms.Campbell's  class because it was the best of all first grade classes.The kids were working in class until a loud noise out in the door made everyone jump of their seats , ms.Campbell went to open the door and as soon as she opened it a giant man walks into the classroom and yells, I´M Stutts Patrick's father. He tells the boy to grab his stuff and go but ms.Campbell rushes in front the big man and says that he cannot get his child that and tells him to go to the principal's office to take a permission paper.Stutts doesn't listen to her and tells his son to grab his stuff and go but ms.Campbell tells him that he has to go to the office and suddenly Stutts groans very loud and takes a gun out of his pocket! The kids scream with fear while Jake and Emery are in shock. From one minute to another this lunatic takes out a gun with no threat at all  has taken all the people in the class as hostages.

QUOTES

“Mr.Stutts,I’m  afraid I'm going to have to insist.”

“I'm not going to the office. Those people just wanna keep my son from me. They're on her side”

This quote made me analyse a lot of stuff and confused me as well. Im wondering why will he want to take his son in such a manner, and what does he means when he says that they want to take his son because they are on her side ?For now I'm guessing that HER is his wife and that they are probably separated because of a bad marriage, maybe only the mom has the custody of their son for some familiar issues.

“Patrick, get your things,”Stutts says again. Patrick reaches for the backpack hanging on his chair.

“Patrick, sit down,” Mrs.Campbell says in a surprisingly steady voice.

When I read this part of the the book I questioned myself, who would stand up to a guy with a gun in a steady tone in real life ? That teacher must have some real guts to talk like that over a man that could take away your life whenever he wants to.

CONCLUSION

Overall, this book, as I told you before catches your attention right away and keeps you alert while you're reading. It's like you're in the classroom, quiet so that Stutts doesn't blow your head off. The story has been very intense until now and it makes me want to read more and more to find out WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT !!!!!! Will anybody get hurt or even worse , killed? How are they going to stop this guy from having the oportunity of killing a hole bunch of first graders? We will only find out on the next posts!!

  

Another great ending

 The last four chapters were awesome and were full of excitement until the last word of the book.  After they all got the fleece and out of the sea of monsters they reached land Miami Bay. As soon as they got off and to land Percy told Clarisse to carry the fleece with her and take it to the camp, after all, it was her quest. But as soon as Clarisse went with the fleece a few moments later Luke and his team caught Percy and his friends and took them all to the Princess Andromeda as prisoners. Already at the boat Percy managed to record the conversation between Luke and him which is evidence that clears up Chiron’s name  as not guilty for poisoning Thalia’s tree . Luke asked several times were was the fleece ? But he didn’t realize that Clarisse was taking to the camp until moments later . Percy challenged Luke to a sword fight as part of his plan to distract him and let his friends go . Percy knew that the odds of him winning the fight was very little since he hadn’t practiced and plus Luke was a terrific sword fighter . But just when Percy was about to get killed Luke revived an arrow with a boxing glove on the top knocking him out . Centaurs including Chiron (Chiron’s cousins ) came to help! They fought against Luke’s little army and managed to get Percy and his friends out of there each riding a centaur to the camp. Centaurs are extremely fast which led Percy and his friends get from Miami to the camp in no time (even though the camp is located farther that long island New York).When they got to the camp it was just about to die it was very damaged because of various attacks from monsters.  But everything with the golden fleece stared became normal again . And something surprising had happened the fleece had worked on the tree way to good that one night Anabeth was guarding the fleece and suddenly a girl popped out of the inside of the tree . That girl’s name is called Thalia daughter of the Big Three , daughter of Zeus.

QUOTES

“He unclipped his cellphone from his quiver and handed it to me.  “It’s high time you called her.”

The worst part was the beginning- the “Percy Jackson –what were you thinking-do you have any idea how worried I was-sneaking off to camp without permission-going on  dangerous  quests and scaring me half to death.” Part.

But finally she paused to catch her breathe.  “Oh, I’m just glad you’re safe!”       (Riordan, 271)

 This quote immediately made me have a personal connection with my daily life . It makes me remember the times my mom gets scared and worried about me whenever I do a joke about myself. For example once I told my mom I got robbed on the street by some dangerous smugglers riding my bike that made her be in the same mood that Percy’s mom was in.

“Even Chiron, Anabeth, and Grover, who should’ve been celebrating this moment, were too shocked, thinking about what it might mean for the future. And I was holding in my arms someone who was destined to be my best friend, or possibly my worst enemy.”(Riordan , 279 )

This quote made me have a personal reaction. Made me think who is going to be Thalia in the future? It also made think if she would ever be Percy’s friend and live exciting moments together or will she be on the dark side of the current situation.

CONCLUSION

Overall I think this book was awesome , entertaining and mostly fun and not boaring to read like the other books . I love Rick Riordan’s work, I just think it’s amazing  the amount of mystery and creativity he put in his books . I also admire a lot how he makes the setting very modern and how he puts in  Greek myths mixed with the story . I absolutely don’t have any bad review on this book  or any other books of his because so far they have been incredible . I highly recommend this book to any guy that likes mystery and action and even if you don’t like reading , this is the book that you will fall in love with . In conclusion,  I loved reading this book and can’t wait   to read the next one . 

"Good news is there is no bad knews "

Yes you heard me, no bad news, so cool !! These last four chapters kept me reading as fast as I could, they were awesome and extremely interesting.  So after escaping from the trap Percy and Anabeth got into after sailing in the Sea of Monsters they find land again. This island is where the golden fleece is . On top of a giant olive tree guarded by carnivore sheep that belong to a Cyclops called Polyphemus that lives in that island. Since the golden fleece emits very strong natural power mythical creatures as satyrs get attracted to it so Polyphemus gets advantage of that and makes a trap for satyrs which involve killing them and eating them . Grover, Percy’s best friend is a satyr and was at the island too but he got captured by Polyphemus . Clarisse had survived to the boat explosion and was at the island but captured by Polyphemus too. Percy and Anabeth had to save Grover and Clarisse plus getting the Golden Fleece. And incredibly did but while escaping  Polyphemus  cached them and just when they were all about to get squeezed by the Cyclops , Tyson appeared and took down Polyphermus throwing giant rocks to him which allowed everybody to escape and go into the boat with the golden fleece ! Tyson had survived to the explosion since he was immune to fire and would not drown because of being son of Poseidon (I was right !!! I knew we would survive , I was right!!!). They did it they just had to get to the camp to save Thalia so far.

QUOTES

“Percy I don’t know the full prophecy, but it warns about a half-blood child of the Big Three – the next one who lives on the age of sixteen. That’s the real reason Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades swore a pact after World War Two not to have any more kids. The next child of the Big Three who reaches sixteen will be a dangerous weapon.”

“Why?”

“Because that hero will decide the fate of Olympus he or she will make a decision that either saves the Age of the Gods or destroys it.”

This is a very interesting quote that refers to a prophecy as you just read. When  I read this I was shocked and I’m still now . I have in mind a lot of things and predictions it kind of confuses me because I don’t know if maybe Percy will get killed by the gods when he turns 16 maybe even by his own father all depending in what side will Percy choose to be it also makes me think how much strength and power will Percy develop throughout the years  how dangerous could he be . But I assume and hope that Percy makes the right decision to protect Olympus and the world.

Another point that occurred to me when I read this was a comparison with Luke . They are very different at the moment; they are on different sides and fight for different purposes one to do good and to do bad.

CONCLUSION 

These last chapters were great I’m curios if there will be any other fights and assume there will because Luke, I think will want to steal the golden fleece in order to bring Kronos back to life and destroy Olympus therefore getting absolute power over the world and of course humanity unless heroes like Percy and Anabeth are present to stop him.         

"Things in these Quest keep getting HARDER AND HARDER."

This last four chapters were  interesting but sad as well. After Percy , Anabeth and Tyson  began their journey  after the golden fleece to save the camp they found out that the golden fleece was at a very dangerous place known as the Sea of Monsters  or as we , mortals know it, the Bermuda Triangle . No mortal has ever survived near this location .  Percy and his friends sneaked in to a giant cruse called Princess Andromeda in order to get to their destination  but unfortunately they bump with Luke , son of Hermes ,  arch enemy of Percy . On the first book Luke tried to kill Percy Jackson , Luke is against the Olympus and wants to destroy it.  He captured Percy , Anabeth and Tyson . But Percy and his friends managed to escape with sad faces founding out that Luke had done it , he poisoned Talia’s tree  even though Luke had been a camper before . The three heroes escaped in an emergency boat  . They got pulled by the current to California . Anabeth found half blood shelter hided in the woods near a big lake  for the three  to stay . But when Tyson went out to explore the woods  there has Hydra chasing him so the three of them were fighting against the Hydra and just when they were all going to get killed Clarisse appeared in a ship at the lake and fired against the Hydra killing it . Percy and his friends were now at the ship safe thanks to Clarisse and going to the sea of monsters. When they were floating around the area getting close they saw something that looked like a hurricane but its name  is Charybdis a giant hole in the sea that sucks up water and the boat was getting near to sinking in . The boat tried to resist into getting to Charybdis  thanks to Tyson that was in the engine room preventing the worst  but the boat couldn’t resist no more started to  burn itself with fire until exploding . Percy and Anabeth went on an emergency boat and Clarisse on another boat . Tyson gave his life for everyone that survived , he was gone . Already at the sea of monsters Percy and Anabeth found land . A nice lady received them when they arrived which was very strange but they were so tired that they didn’t care but it was eventually a trap but managed to escape out of there and grabbed a boat to sail somewhere else , to get the golden fleece . 

IN HONOR OF TYSON SO FAR IN THE BOOK.   

QUOTES

“No! I don’t care what the Oracle- .” She stopped herself. 

“What?” I said. “What did the Oracle tell you?”

“Nothing.” Clarisse’s ears turned pink.   This is what Clarisse said to Percy most likely by accident.  So the Oracle is a holy person whom they believed in ancient Greece times could predict a person’s fate or destiny and communicate with the gods. The Oracle’s words of fate never miss and are always accomplished.  And it is why this quote made me think and ask this to myself: What will Clarisse’s fate will be on this quest? Is Percy and Anabeth destined to be the heroes again?

“The last thing I remembered was sinking in a burning sea, knowing that Tyson was gone forever, and wishing that I were able to drown.”

        Percy thanks to his father , God of the sea cannot drown underwater . Another thing I remembered was that Cyclops are immune to fire and Tyson is a Cyclops and also a relatively speaking , Percy’s stepbrother from the same dad , Poseidon , which makes me ask to myself: If Tyson really is also the son of Poseidon then he must have the same ability that Percy has which is being immune to drown underwater , plus being immune to fire , did he maybe could’ve survive?

CONLUSION

I think that these last four chapters were very interesting indeed. I got to the conclusion that  I think that the young Cyclops Tyson may have survived to the catastrophe. I can’t wait to keep reading this awesome book and hope that my quote conclusions are correct later on the book. Lastly I can’t wait to do another post about the next chapters. I will try to do it as soon as possible but meanwhile enjoy reading!!!!!!!!!  

                          

                              "The Journey starts Now "  

   This book is  just  still full of mysteries and every time just gets better and better .Since Thalia’stree got poisoned and borders were failing the camp wasn’t very safe as it used to  . Campers had to be alert all the time making protection turns , day and specially night . But they tried to act as normal as possible .  Chiron , the activities director had been fired  by the because of the incident and so was replaced by a mean guy named Tantalus . But there was another shocking thing too that Percy hadn’t found  , Tyson was a Cyclops . Tyson was the only Cyclops at the camp , no one knew  what god was his father or mother which means he is undetermined and is staying at the Hermes cabin which gives hospitality to the undetermined. But one  day at the camp Tyson was near the lake and a huge wave was behind him in shape of a trident as a sign that Poseidon is claiming him as his son . Percy and Tyson were now relatives.     To  distract the campers from the recent event Tantalus decided to do a chariot race which was a dangerous Greek sport  that consists on persons on a chariot , one driver and on fighter all pulled by a horse around a determined circuit. The race ended up being a catastrophe because insane amount of wild pigeons attacked the campers even racers , but Anabeth and Percy defeated the with loud noises.    After that Percy and Anabeth were talking they figured out how to save the camp , the golden fleece .  Its an object made by gods that can fix anything which could cure Thalia .  Percy and Anabeth offered themselves as tributes to go on a quest to search the golden fleece and bring it to the camp , but Tantalus denied their offer and instead sended  Clarrisse daughter of Ares and winner of the chariot race . Percy and Annabeth knew this would go wrong and is why they escaped from the camp to save it . The beginning of a new journey to save camp Half Blood .

QUOTES

“Keep him safe. The prophecy - remember it !” Its what said Chiron to Anabeth just before leaving the camp. After reading this quote it kind of confused me and so I made an inference with the last book read to help me understand it.  The character said “Keep him safe. The prophecy - remember it !” and I already know that in the last book all of the oracles prophecies always   became true so I think that maybe for some reason Percy is in grave danger and has to be protected for his own good , being alive , something big is about to happen . This second quote also  confused when I read it but then I remembered and made an inference that made sense. “Eventually” , muttered Tantalus , staring at Dionysus’s  Diet Coke , “Do have any idea of how dry one’s  throat  gets after three thousand years ?”  .   The character Tantalus said, “Eventually” , muttered Tantalus , staring at Dionysus’s  Diet Coke , “Do have any idea of how dry one’s  throat  gets after three thousand years ?” and I already know that there is a Greek myth of  a man in the fields of punishment that stands in a lake with a fruit tree hanging over him but can’t eat or drink at all so I think Tantalus is that man that now has a new punishment  and that is being the camp’s director just like Dionysus punishment .

CONCLUSION

In conclusion , I think that its going to be very interesting the fact that 2 teams are going on the quest to save the camp .I’m wondering who will come back first or if they will all survive or maybe one team gets trapped  while the other succeeds . I can’t wait any   longer to keep finding  other shocking mysteries and how the story goes . 

Man!These kids have the worst of luck!

I have to admit that these last week’s chapters were intense ! The chapters kept appealing to my curiosity and so I couldn’t stop READING ! I got hooked of reading this book even before I started because in seventh grade me and my class read Percy Jackson and  the Olympians  first book which pushed me into getting on the second book . Things are very mysterious until now. So Percy Jackson  the protagonist amazing half blood  son of Poseidon , just on his last day at school  just about to end the school year for the first  time in his  life without getting expelled everything blows like TNT . Percy and his huge friend Tyson get attacked by cannibal monsters wanting to kill Percy . But he manages to get alive thanks to his friend Tyson leaving the schools gym in ashes . When escaping they find Percy’s best female friend Anabeth daughter of the great Athena . She guides them into getting to a Greek world taxi  in a destination to camp Half Blood . Just when they arrive  they were standing in a  war field . There were 2 giant  bronze bulls  fighting against the campers , Percy ,Anabeth and even Tyson join the fight . Finally they end up winning but scared of this happening again , something terrible had happen . The magic protection boundaries formed by pine trees is gone . Someone had poisoned Thalia’s tree , Someone inside the camp. 

" Hi , this is Ganymade, cup-bearer to Zeus , and when I'm out buying wine for the Lord of the Skies , I always buckle up! ". This quote is a sound of a voice in the taxi's speakers  on the way to camp half blood  wihch  made me have a personal reaction and made me remember of my vacations in Orlando at a theme park . There is always a voice that reminds yo to put on the saftey seat belt before the ride since its about to get rough wihch makes me think that being at the taxi is not going to be a smooth ride after all.

In conclusion I think that this book is going great so far . It is full of mistery and excitement . There has also been a lot of foreshadowing while you read the book . Also , there are new characters I cant wait to meet now . Overall the book so far is great full of adventure . This book will definitely keep me busy when I'm bored , I WONT BE ABLE TO STOP READING !!!!!!!!!!!!!
