    Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief Comparison

    Once stated by Edith Hamilton, the author of the original myth “Perseus”, “The fullness of life is in the hazards of life.” (Hamilton). Meaning that you aren’t living unless you are truly face to face with death and risk. You are on edge and not cooped up afraid of going for something. And that is exactly what Perseus and Percy Jackson, two heroic figures, live up to. To that extent, “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief” by Rick Riordan transforms the ancient legend of “Perseus” in a compelling, entertaining, and imaginative way through it’s craftsmanship of modernization, sequence of events, characters, and themes.

At first it was one each month and as time went by it went from one to four each month and it reached a point when I did not wish to do anything else.
