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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
