The Last Olympian
The book I decided to do my book report on is The Last Olympian, written by

Rick Riodarn. This book is set in Manhattan. There is a camp of halfbloods, or people

with one mortal parent and one immortal parent. The titan lord, Kronos, has just been

reborn and is trying to kill the people at Camp Halfblood. The main characters of the book are Percy, Annebeth, Nico, Luke, Kronos and

other assorted campers. Luke had been taken over by the titan lord, Kronos. He was

trying to destroy Olympus. Percy had a prophecy that was going to happen when he

turned sixteen, and Nico, the son of Hadies, offered him a deal. Percy decided he would

take the deal. The deal was to bathe in the River Styx, The River of Lost Dreams.

    Percy Jackson is the main protagonist of the last Olympian. Percy isn’t greed at because he turned down god hood. “Oh, not you although I suppose I should wonder turning down immorality” (Riordan, 355) after defeating Kronos he was given a offer to be a god. He is also funny “With great power... comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later”. Making funny remark and one liner makes him a funny character in general, this funny one liner was said after he obtained the curse of Achilles and they were outside the underworld.

    The Olympics were revived in 1896 thanks to Pierre de Coubertin. Since its reemergence in 1896, the modern Olympic movement has been shaped and influenced politically through the tensions between countries, economically through financial gain opportunity, and socially by promoting women’s rights. Another document I would like to have seen would be one containing a record of third world countries that have attended the Olympics. This document would have shown how wealth effects and shapes the modern Olympics.…

    Physicians assisted suicide can be defined as the voluntary termination of one's own life by administration of a lethal substance with the direct or indirect assistance of a physician (Snyder 2001). In order to truly explore the ethical dilemma of physicians assisted suicide we must first understand and grasp the base meaning of the term, as well as let go of any prior misconceptions we may have surrounding the topic. The process of physician-assisted suicide is different than you might imagine. Before I had researched this topic I had the inaccurate impression that physician assisted suicide was a procedure similar to that which you would imagine for an animal being put down or euthanized. As many of us unfamiliar with the topic might believe,…

    While I read this I notice that there are monsters on Earth yet no one else is seeing them. As I read further I wonder why Percy sees these monsters and if Percy will have to fight demons off on a regular basis. How will he cope with being a demigod? Does his family know? These are just a few of the questions that run through my mind as I read. During the fight scene I can visualize Percy, scared and quivering, forced to fight for his life. I know if that was me I would be scared out of my mind. Now I want to know, what will happen next?…
