The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan

The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan follows the adventure of a boy, Percy, as he goes to save Annabeth, a friend, and Artemis, a goddess. In the beginning, they save twins Nico and Bianca. In the process of doing so, they lose Annabeth and have the Hunters join them. Later on, five people go on a journey to save the abducted people and destroy what kept them captive.

The book had a C and C when Percy suddenly went after the monster that had gotten Nico and Bianca. Annabeth and Thalia (another friend) were nearby, so he could've gotten them. This would've been a much safer decision for everyone. "I took Riptide out of my pocket and ran after Dr. Thorn." (Riordan 14). Percy had done

    Percy is not just like Perseus because their names sound alike. They are alike in other ways as well. Like Perseus, Percy was saved because he had a god watching over him. In “ The Great Heroes Before the Trojan War” it says, “ But Perseus was saved from his folly. Two great gods were watching over him.”(Hamilton 145). This same thing happened to Percy when he was battling Anabeth. She had beaten him up pretty badly and Percy had lay there…

    Since the group needed the second pearl they had to find it in a museum. They saw a giant statue of a Athena in the center of the room. The pearl was on her crown, it was too busy to take it that moment so they had to stay after hours. They used the flying shoes Luke loaned them to get it. They had it but they saw five janitors, who said to Percy, “give us the lightning bolt Percy Jackson.” He ran and they all turned into a three headed dragon. Percy dropped the pearl, he needed a distraction to be able to get it. So Annabeth started to call it names and ran. He almost got it when they breathed fire, he used the shield Luke gave him to protect himself. He used his water powers to break the fountains and splash all water on the beast. Percy cut off its heads, but he didn't know they grew back but with more. Now it had six heads! They got the pearl and ran towards the door when it was about to blow fire at them. Grover took out Medusa’s head and showed it to the beast. It turned to rock and they left. Thank goodness he was with his friends or he would have been doomed.…

    In “The Loss of the Creature,” Percy focuses on how one perceives something before actually witnessing it based on the opinions of others. The value of the place or idea is already preconceived due to the fact that we are so caught up in time that we overlook the entire experience as a whole. Or being that we are so focused on the option on an object from someone else, we miss the whole concept or what it’s true meaning or “beauty” as Percy state’s is. We lose the ability to make our own decisions because we base them off of someone else’s viewpoints. Using an example of a movie that I experienced shows Percy’s point.…

    The next day, Mister Percy called all the servants down to alert us that a small sum of money had been stolen and to “warn” us that he’d teach us a lesson from stealing from him by selling the thief. I was terrified even though I hadn’t committed the crime that I had been accused of. I went to bed that night but couldn’t sleep with the thought in the back of my mind that my son could grow up to be sold down the river. I knew what I had to do. It was one of the hardest choices I had to make, there was no other option.…

    Meeting a monster is one way how Percy is a hero. Percy is in the museum with Mrs.Dodds and she starts saying strange things to Percy. Suddenly, she shifts into a monster. “She wasn’t human. She was a shriveled hag with bat wings and claws and a mouth full of yellow fangs, and she was about to slice me to ribbons.” (Riordan 12) This supports Percy meeting a monster because the quote says Mrs.Dodds was not human. Then, the quote describes Mrs.Dodds with things monsters have like bat wings and yellow…

    Percy – Percy provides the novel with the perfect parallel to Dunstan. He does, however, contrast in many ways to Dunstan. They are best friends, but Percy rivalry results in the formation of the main setting of the novel. Percy also feels more of an attachment to material goods than Dunstan does. He thinks only of himself and is in constant pursuit of total and utter control.

This awkward relationship between him and Dunstan forms the basis of the novel.…

    Many books attempt to draw in the reader by focusing on one central idea through out the course of the story. This is typically an effective approach because it keeps the reader organized on one concept without incorporating convoluting details. Steven Kotler’s West Of Jesus takes a far different approach by confronting the reader with many different ideas and themes, it is the quest to find the perfect wave, the quest to discover the origin of myth, even the quest to discover the origin of belief itself. Yet somehow the book still finds a way to tie all these ideas together, relating them all back to one central idea, the role of belief systems. The main underlying idea that the book addresses is the role of belief systems in society, and…
