PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS SERIES
(PERCY JACKSON & THE LIGHTING THIEF; PERCY JACKSON & SEA OF MONSTERS) Percy Jackson & the Olympians series has been the best-selling series ever since it was published. I started reading its novel after watching its first movie, the PERCY JACKSON & THE LIGHTNING THIEF and was really fascinated by it. Growing up in a step family, Percy Jackson, real name Perseus Jackson, was found out to be a demigod at the age of twelve. It was also in that year when Percy first discovered who his real father is – Poseidon, god of the sea, earth shaker, storm bringer and father of horses. Before that, since he had never seen his real father, he had always assumed him dead. Percy lived with his mother Sally Jackson and his terrible stepdad Gabe Ugliano before he entered Camp Half-Blood. Before Percy realized his true identity as a son of Poseidon, his powerful demigod aura had already attracted various monsters, including a Fury. Bad things happened to him on almost every field trip. The worst one took place in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, New York. During this sixth-grade field trip, Jackson’s math teacher, Mrs. Dodds, revealed her true form as a Kindly One, and Percy vaporized her with a ballpoint pen, (which is a bronze sword called Riptide) from Mr. Brunner (Chiron). In terms of mythologist, Joseph Campbell’s A Hero with a Thousand Faces, the adventure of a hero can be generalized and demarcated into three gradations—departure, initiation, and return. After the field trip to the museum, the strange weather continued, and from there, his quest started. This stage is called The Call to Adventure, under Departure. Percy described the changes he had: “I started feeling cranky and irritable most of the time. My grades slipped from Ds to Fs. … I was sent out into the hallway in almost every class.” And much more, he and started to nose out his irregular relationship
