How To Write An Essay On The Red Pyramid

The Red Pyramid

For my summer reading book I read The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. Before beginning I would like to note this book is based around Egyptian mythology. The story begins with the two main characters Carter and Sadie Kane who are visiting a British museum containing the Rosetta stone. they are with their father Julius Kane and suddenly while they are observing the Rosetta stone it opens a portal through to the place where the gods are and their dad gets sealed inside a coffin by a ancient evil god he accidentally released. Later they are at their grandparents home when the police show up and explain how they must leave the country by the next day or the police will take them. Then their uncle they didn't know about comes to take them back to his house to safety. While there they learn of many ancient and magical and strange things.

Their Uncle Amos Kane leaves to go do something important and after he
leaves the house is under attack by servants of the evil god. than they call out for help and their cat turns into the Cat goddess Bast who saves them and then they all flee for right after the home is burnt to the ground by huge flames. Not to shortly after they are being chased again and running through the city going by foot and by car being chased by four of the evil gods servants. Then another evil god Serquet the scorpion goddess stops them before they reach their destination and fights Bast and the kids have to leave without her running into their destination.

When they reach the place they find another person who helps and protects them as they try to get to a portal.
but before they make it there Serquet appears again and she fights with Zia Rashid who was leading them to the portal. They were beginning to lose and in a desperate attempt to escape they ran into the portal which lead to the house of life which would be safe for the time being. It was safe Because they are under the watch of powerful magicians and the portal was closed. they were brought here to be trained as magicians and while their they learn that they are the hosts of two different gods, Horus was in Carter, and Isis was in Sadie. During one of the nights they were there Sadie wandered around learned about what happened to start Sets evil reign in the beginning. Not too soon after the chief Lector Iskander had died and he had been keeping them safe, But once that happened his replacement Desjardins wanted to get rid of Sadie and Carter because he saw them as a threat so before training was finished they had to flee
again.

And at this point they have to go from place to place getting things to help defeat set and during this journey they get to do a little training here and there so they do gain more skill and power and aren't completely weak, in fact they are somewhat strong in the end. The first thing they did on their quest was they traveled to Paris where they were trying to find a book that tells how to defeat Set. In that book it explains that they need the feather of truth from Anubis, so they travel to the underworld to find him and get it. On the way Bast sacrifices herself to saves Sadie and Carter from a crocodile god. After all that Carter and Sadie travel to the red pyramid in phoenix, there Carter and Set battle and Sadie uses a spell to bring the pyramid to Washington d.c. But before she finishes she notices aphophos trying to escape the needle so after they beat set they forced him to help them defeat aphophs. Finally Carter and Sadie get Desjardins trust by releasing their gods. After they all won Julius decides to stay with his wife as osisirs in the underworld and bast is resurrected and came to live with Sadie and Carter in Amos’s newly rebuilt home and they then recruit others for their cause using they djed amulet. That is the end of my summer reading book report.
