First, there is Percy Jackson, Percy lost his memory and woke up in a forest stranded by wolves. He was raise by the pack of wolves and the Alpha male Lupa. These wolves could talk. Lupa then sent Percy to the south to continue his destiny as a Hero. Percy later found out that he was the son of Neptune, the god of sea, and he began to have powers and met two other strong and encouraging heroes along the way. Haze has a bad past and hopes she never encounters Gaea again. Hazel also has powers, she can make gold or any precious medal rise from the earth. The reason she can do this is because of her dad Pluto, god of the dead and wealth. Since gold is a sign of wealth, she can make it rise from the ground as if she were a magnet to gold. But only she can touch that gold because if anybody else touches it, they turn into stone because its Pluto’s gold and not the other person touching it so it’s considered stealing. Hazel lives in Camp Rome with all of the other demigods as she trains there to fight monsters and keep mortals safe from invasions from any titan or monster. Frank on the other hand is a klutz. The only thing he is good at is archery which is why he thinks his father is Apollo. But one thing his grandmother always bugs him about is some special power. She gives him hints so he can use his power like, “you can be anything” and “your faith is as strong as an eagle”. Frank toke it as encouragement from his grandmother and ignored it. Later on in the book, Frank discovers that he is the son of Mars, god of war, and he later discovers that he has the power to transform into any animal he encounters with.

    Hunger, whether a literal hunger or a hunger for power has always been a downfall for humankind. In the Odyssey hunger destroys the lives of many men. Even though the Odyssey is just an epic it reflects in many ways how hunger can ruin and sometimes even destroy someone’s life. In history, hunger has shown itself in many different and unique ways. For example Hitler’s hunger for power destroyed millions of lives. It forced millions of people to move their homes and change their lives or to even lose their lives. Hunger has caused people and even entire nations to be decimated. If people could control there hunger the world and its people would be a safer and happier place. In this epic hunger rules all.…

    Frank is the criminal in the movie, yet he is also the hero. In fact, Frank is the perfect example of the anti-hero. By beginning his history with his family, the audience sees the origin story of his myth. His parents both lie to him in different ways. One of the biggest influences on Frank, however, is his relationship with his father. The role of his father, in fact, can be likened to Zeus’ role in Perseus’ mythology. It is shown how Frank learned some of his most basic con artist tricks from his father. Frank is driven by his belief in his father’s myth: his victimization by the IRS and his great magical love story with Frank’s mother. His family, therefore, serves, as both his motivation and his weakness, much like Odysseus. Frank is obviously haunted by some misguided idea of bringing back the myth of his perfect family, which, after a while, he no longer seems to believe. In fact, it is interesting to note that it is his parents’ divorce that first causes Frank to run. It is what “chases” him. Therefore when he learns of his father’s death and sees with his own eyes his mother’s new family (and consequently the crumbling of his illusion of his parents’ romance), he no longer feels the need to run. When he stops running, he is “rewarded” by a legitimate job that he is good at and a friend, the first person in his life to both always be there and never lie to him. Frank, Thus, is vulnerable and a product of his tragedies, which does not make him bad, only…
