Essay On Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief

The book Percy Jackson the lightning thief is the first book in a series of five. In chronological order it goes The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse (in which I have already read) and then The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian. Percy Jackson the first offspring of Poseidon in seventy-five years and has to go on a quest to stop his Father and Zeus from starting a war of the gods.

I didn’t even use one fourth of the examples like how he defeated the unstoppable Minotaur and whan he “did the only thing that came naturally: i swung the sword” (Riordan p. 13). This is awesome because he defeats the monstrous creature and he has never touched a sword before that. Anyway, Percy was arguably the bravest character I have ever read
