The Lightning Thief: Does Percy Jackson Have ADHD?
Percy Jackson/ADHD

Does Percy Jackson have ADHD? I think Percy Jackson has ADHD because he is always doing something, or blurting something out. When he is doing something, he is doing something else the next minute.

    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. The way in which the innovative retelling captures an audience is a direct statement of it’s creative remake based off the concrete foundation of the original copy produced centuries ago. Utmost, is the way in which the things of the past (a.k.a.-weapons, methods of communication, routine behaviors, etc.) were made present to fit in today's generation is quite an…
