The Lightning Thief Persuasive Speech
Have you ever thought that having your own powers in a ring or a sword would be cool? I don’t think Magnus Chase would agree to that. His mother died when he was younger so he became homeless with some friends. On his 16th birthday he learned his mother's death was not an accident, and he has a birthright to the “Sword Of Summer.” After his death he goes to Valhalla, but he did not like being there; so he goes back with a mission to make everything right. Follow Magnus on his mission to get his life back… Magnus Chase is a 16 year old homeless Asgardian. Wird right, he has always lived in New york. With the help of his friend Sam, also and Asgardian, she is daughter of Loki, but she doesn't want her father to decide …show more content…
There is a couple of differences though, like how Magnus’s mother never told him that is was Asgardian. Also when Magnus has to find a sword but Percy has to prove that he didn’t steal the lightning bolt. There are also some things that are the same, like how Annabeth is in both of the stories. If you read both the books then you would also know that there mothers were trying to keep the boys safe from the monsters who wanted to kill …show more content…
I love the plot of the book because it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, but also added lots of funny things to keep you interested. Rick Riordan is one of my favorite authors. He wrote so many books, but this has to be my favorite book he has written so far. I would love to read the next book which has to be coming out soon, because he has already written the first few pages to the next book in my book. You would have to read to see Magnus Chase and The Gods Of Asgard Sword of Summer he stays dead or gets his life

    Lately there have been a lot of break-ins and armed robberies in Jimboomba by ‘teenagers’. They’ve been demanding money from store clerks, some with knifes, baseball bats, and anything in between. To be honest I do not find the joy in doing such a thing, I believe that if you work hard enough to earn a living you will feel as if you have done well in this life and honestly I wouldn’t feel good knowing I have someone else’s hard earned money all to myself. I know that some of the crimes committed aren’t so bad, but the teens should be punished to learn from their mistakes, I believe that by doing so it will cause the community to feel safer and engage the government to make Jimboomba a better place to live.…

    I am on the side of Benjamin Franklin because we have to take matters into our own hands to break free from Great Britain. We have tried multiple times trying to break free from Britain and we can’t just think that King george will stop his ways. Just as Patrick Henry said “Give me liberty or Death” we will should fight to get our freedom even if matters go to violence.

    This kingdom is far less extravagant due to an attack of a dragon – the cause of king Beowulf’s death, but that wasn’t her only disappointment. She soon meets the pending king, and he is not at all what she expects. He’s the sixteen year old, Rune, barely fit for the role of a king. Although her first impression of Rune was not what she expected, events turn for the better when she finds him in grave danger and arrives at the scene to help save him. Hild herself turns out to be the unlikely hero, not the damsel in distress that female characters so often are. This turns out to be a great theme in the novel, which is what really surprised me as a…

    The lifetime of someone can be characterized frame by frame plotted so meticulously as if their surroundings started to assimilate into inanimate objects that had the miraculous ability of gifted life through a lens. The individual parts of a select puppet or object are manipulated in one frame to be taken as a picture by any camera device, and streamlining these frames together forms a motion picture that is life-like and similar to other animation styles. Stop-motion is a term that may be unfamiliar, but if you have ever watched movies such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” the concept can be grasped. As a younger child, my eyes would never fail to spot a stop-motion masterpiece from the first scene of a trailer. The life-like activities…

    Imagine that you trained all your life for that special moment of playing in your first NHL game. At the beginning of your first shift in the game suddenly another player’s stick comes up and strikes you in the eye. This incident ends your career. This could have been prevented if you wore a visor. I think visors should be mandatory in the NHL in order to improve a player’s safety. Statistics have proven players who wear visors in the NHL play less aggressive. There are many incidents involving sticks and pucks going into player’s faces. A recent incident occurred between Philadelphia’s Chris Pronger and Toronto’s Mikhail Grabovski. Furthermore, two years ago a former NHL player Brad May, Gave a speech supporting the use of visors.…
