The Sea Of Monster


Sea of Monster by Rick Riordan.is about a 13 years old kid and his friends trying to find the Golden Fleece. The reason Percy is trying to find the Golden Fleece is because something happened to the tree that covers and protects camp half blood from bad thing like Hades minion or any other threat that could hurt the camp. Originally the quest is suppose to be Clarisse the daughter of Ares, who Ares favors a lot. Because the oracle (A Crystal Ball) pick Clarisse. Percy joined in because he didn't trust Clarisse on getting the quest done so he took off camp and went to go get the fleece with his friends. Percy can’t trust Clarisse even though they are in the same camp for two years now. I can relate to Percy on how he can’t trust anyone. I can’t trust my mom and my friend sometimes.

One way I can relate to Percy’s friend named Annabeth had another friend named Luke at first he was cool with Percy and Annabeth but then Luke betrayed Annabeth and Percy by almost killing Percy by giving Percy some poison by a scorpion. In the sea of monster Luke is on a ship and Luke is talking to Cronus who is the titan father of all gods. Annabeth feel betrayal even after all they went through. I feel this way when I was walking with my friend and then they see their friend who he told me he was going to stay away because they are bad influence on him so he just joins their club and starts bulling other people. Percy’s friend Annabeth and I can both relate to each other on how we feel betrays on our friends.

Percy’s and his dad aren't close as much in sea of monster but the only time I see in the book Poseidon speak to Percy telling him to go find the fleece immiditlty Percy at first doesn't trust Poseidon because he hardly help Percy with anything but later on he see he really need the golden fleece because of the camp. Percy go to go get the golden fleece but not because Poseidon told him because the camp really need the golden fleece now and he is willing to do that. I think Percy is feeling betrayal on how Poseidon just hooks up with his mom and then leave as soon he finds out that she is pregnant.  I can relate to that my dad made a deal with me that if I get in to a school he will give me anything I want. I study very hard and I got in that school and what do I get in return “wow good job Enjam now aim for the specialized high school and you’ll get three more thing you want” But I know how that’s going to end for me. I feel betrayed, lied to just like how Percy feels. Percy and I can both relate to each other.

  1. I agree with what you said about his dad just meeting his mom and then leaving after she got pregnant. Another thing thing that I kind of agree with is the betrayel of the parents. Great job.

  3. You added a lot of detail and description, with a helpful quotation too. You have a very strong connection, and overall I think the response is well-written.
