Percy Jackson Disrespecting Authority
Imagine being a demigod and able to heal from water. That is what Percy Jackson can do in The Sea of Monsters. They obtained their demigod powers from their god or goddess parent. Percy Jackson and his demigod buds are descendents from greek god or goddesses. The Puritans would abhor the novel The Sea of Monsters due to characters disrespecting authority, having superhuman powers, and being self reliant. The Puritans would despise The Sea of Monsters because of the characters disrespecting authority a great example is Percy, Tyson, and Annabeth, the main characters went on a quest to an island to find the fleece and Grover without a leader.

    Similarities Between Cronus And The Lightning Thief

    the theme of percy Jackson is supernatural or non-human characters because of the weird characters. The theme of the Cronus Myth is A Quest or completion of a task because multiple times a character in the Myth completed a task to achieve a certain goal.Myths still matter because it is apart of many different cultures around the world.Greek myths matter because they influence people to write or creatively.I believe Rick Riordan chosen to include the Myth in the novel because cronus was talking to Percy through his dreams. Percy is the son of Poseidon, so maybe Poseidon and Kronos have a…

    Criticism On Fahrenheit 451

    During “The Hearth and the Salamander", Captain Beatty explained to us how because of the population growth, people had to beware of offending the minorities. Beatty tells us how the authors, with their “evil thoughts”, had to lock up their typewriters and cease their writing, so no one would get offended. Also, Captain Beatty tells us how magazines were admissible, while books were unfavorable by the minorities. Beatty mentions how critics said, “no wonder books stopped selling…” In addition to this, the critics juxtaposed books to dishwater. Furthermore, during the censorship movement, the numerous minorities (“… the dog lovers, the cat lovers, doctors, lawyers, merchants …”) didn’t want to get offended so they claimed authors were the antagonists. Once the books stopped selling, the public kept reading comic books (as well as the s** magazines). Captain Beatty goes on to describe how technology, mass exploitation (of books), and the pressure from minorities caused the downfall…

    Jackson: Hero Or Villain?

    The years between 1829 and 1837 have been called "Age of Jacksonian Democracy" as well as "The Era of the Common Man." However, these titles were not necessarily correct as America was far from a democracy; women could not vote and were still inferior to men, free blacks were still considered below white citizens, and slavery was growing in the south. Jackson was a highly controversial president, for good reason due to his massacre of thousands, but was actually a great American and president who attempted to protect individual liberty, the Constitution, political democracy, and promote equality of economic opportunity.…

    Percy Jackson In The Last Olympian

    Percy Jackson is the main protagonist of the last Olympian. Percy isn’t greed at because he turned down god hood. “Oh, not you although I suppose I should wonder turning down immorality” (Riordan, 355) after defeating Kronos he was given a offer to be a god. He is also funny “With great power... comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later”. Making funny remark and one liner makes him a funny character in general, this funny one liner was said after he obtained the curse of Achilles and they were outside the underworld. Percy is also caring for his friends and he would do anything to protect them. "You're cute when you get worried; your eyebrows get all scrunched together."(Riordan, 199) this was after Percy’s friend Annabeth was fatally…

    The Role Of Monsters In Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

    Monsters are unpredicted and are made at anytime. Monsters show different actions that can affect what society acts upon them. We can see that monsters can be unfairly labeled by examining “Of Mice and Men”, “Born of A Man and Woman”, and “Monster”. People will jump to conclusion when it comes to labeling other people as monsters, this is because of the characteristics of disorders that people cannot understand,and the looks or appearance on one self changes people’s opinions. Through examination and explaining the actions of the author's use of text from Steinbeck,Myers, and Matheson, we can understand that people will claim to be unfairly labeled as monsters.…

    Banned Book Research Paper

    Well the answer is simply because it was different from all other children's books at the time. All other Children’s books before Sendak’s were all about children who were good and do what they were told and so on. But Sendak broke that stereotype with Where the Wild Things Are. How? Sendak made it to where the child in the book was mischievous and would misbehave. So thus, he came up with the book Where the Wild Things Are where a kid named Max who felt misunderstood at school and home so he escapes to the land of the Wild Things were majestic, fierce creature lived. The creatures allow Max to become their leader where he promises everybody in the kingdom will live happily. However, Max finds that being a leader isn’t so easy. Sendak’s main focus of the book was to teach kids not to judge anybody by their appearance, “there’s a wild thing in all of us and that’s okay”, and “love with everything you’ve got!” There is one last question here, who are what inspired Sendak to create this book? Well first of all, Sendak was inspired by Jewish relatives and ancestors from Europe. He had a dream as an adult Where he and his siblings were joking about how their Jewish ancestors supposedly couldn’t speak English, had yellow teeth, and would grab children by their cheeks like they wanted to just “gobble them up”. Now this is just how he came up with the characters or also called “the wild things” personality and looks. The whole book’s inspiration was inspired from how he grew up and would disobey his parents. So if this book was so great, why was it banned? Well it’s challenged more than its banned. It gets challenged from mostly parents because they say it promotes rebellion, fear, punishment, and escape. Me personally, I believe there is no good reason why this book should be banned because I grew up reading this book and I had no problems with being a disrespectful toward anybody…

    Odysseus' Negligent Leadership

    Throughout his reign as King of France, Louis XVI portrayed poor leadership. He was often considered indecisive, for this reason many of his men did not trust him. Louis XVI’s desire to expand France’s territory in order to acquire personal glory is comparable to Odysseus’ journey home to Ithaca in order to attain kleos. Not only were their goals similar but both Odysseus and Louis XVI’s men were killed in the process. In ancient Greece, Greeks had higher expectations for leaders than other mortals. Throughout the epic poem Homer characterizes Odysseus as a predominantly bad leader, because when comparing him to what Greeks valued in a leader, his actions contradicts those characteristics.…

    Monsters In British Literature

    A: In British literature, monsters are used as a tool for what the people of the Middle Ages believed they were supposed to do and created these monsters to be portrayed as something “bad” towards humanity. All of the monsters mentioned do share a few common characteristics of what they were supposed to do in British literature. To start, the monsters all inhabit some space outside of the realm of human civilization because they cannot or don’t want to be a part of the human world due to how different they are. Some monsters serve a purpose as being a part of a hero’s journey, such as the Giants and Serpents in the Wilderness of Wirral, which, when Gawain fighting monsters on his journey makes him look more like a knight. Some monsters possess…

    The Role Of Monsters In Today's Society

    In today's society, people are selfish and don't do anything unless it benefits themselves in one way or another. The reason why I like a good monster story is because they are based on our everyday society. All of the stories we have gone over this far throughout the year are for the most part have some connection with the real world. Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein, and serial killers are all monsters that have a special connection to everyday society.…
