(The Lost Hero Book Report)
Part I: Book Report
i) Rating: I would rate this novel as 8 out of 10 for a few reasons. First, the author seems to know a lot about mythology, Greek and Roman. When he put the story all together, it relate a lot to the myth of Greek and Roman people, sometimes it seems to make the myth make more sense. Second of all, Rick Riodan always start with very little information which makes the readers just want to know what will happen next. In the middle of the book, the author starts to add more information, little by little. At the end of the book, everything come together and. it all make sense. The third reason is the author used a lot of techniques that makes the readers curious. Sometimes it is foreshadowing, a flashback, and at the end of the book is a cliffhanger. Last but not least, I also like this book because it is action-packed and it relates a lot to Greek mythology. I was always interested about the gods and goddesses. This novel could improve if the author hasn’t put too much unnecessary information. Like when Jason described how he NEEDS to fight Enceladus, it was not needed. He can just say how he fought the giant, how his friends helped him. But maybe the author did this because he wants people who didn’t know much about Greek and Roman techniques can understand why demigods fight like that. Second of all, the author makes the story funnier when things are suspenseful. For example: Death toke out his Ipad and checked the death list. Sometimes, the author makes it fun, but sometimes it is not the right place and time. When Percy was in big trouble and tried to use his phone, he inserted: “For us demigods, using phone is like sending a signal to a monster, I’m here, come and kill me”. It was okay at first but that was like the fifth time the author use the sentence. It was not funny anymore. Every one from young to old could enjoy this book, especially children and teenagers around 11-20 with high

    The story of "Night at the Museum", produced in 2006, is often portrayed as just a comedic movie, but in reality, it's a heroic tale of preserving the powers of an Egyptian tablet that lets the beings within the museum come to life at night. This story is a supernatural take, because things happen in this movie that are impossible to occur in the real world. The plot of the story revolves around a man named Larry Daley, a part time night guard for the New York City Museum, and every night he must make sure everything in the museum that came to life is out back to its original position and everything is as it was the day before. I will explain how this movie identifies with The Hero's Journey chart and how it relates within the departure, the initiation, and the return of the hero's journey.…

    I start reading this book with bad mood. I hate to read books, especially the book not written by English. It will always be a disaster for someone to read the book that not written by their first language. However, this book really blows my mind. Bod Focazio and his special style of humorous told me this is a knowledgeable and fun book. This book gives me a lot of things that will be used in the future; this book really is a guide to me. One day, if I could be a successful person, this book really played an important role for that. A great gift to his dad and his dad must be very proud of him.…

    It has very tough issues and a lot of language. This would be a book for upper middle school to high school. This is a book you would have to be very careful with, you would need a lot of parent permission and a class/student that you could have great discussion with. However, that is not to say that it is not worth reading. I think that a lot of students today have a hard time backing down from an issue, even if it is meaningless, so this could really be relatable. Some strategies that could be used with this book include predicting, inferring, and making connections. I think that inferring could be a great strategy for this book because you can use the pictures and the text to find out what the author is really…

    First of all, my opinion of this book is that it was a satisfying book. I just think it was a little strange, but that's what makes the book good. Iike in the book, I like how some things are worded. Like how you worded “ Heaven can’t possibly be better than this, thought Matt, swirling the sweet soda had to be right up there with El Patron’s moro crab cakes from Yuca” I like the comparison between the strawberry soda and crab cakes from Yuca. My opinion of these book is it’s a good book, but not the best.…

    I would not recommend this book to many people. It is confusing and not very interesting. The book itself was okay, but in my opinion, it had more potential, so it seemed not as good as I expected. Also, the ending was the worst part of all. The storyline was good, but I expected more out of the ending, and it was not there. If anyone were to like this book, it would be people who are curious about the afterlife, because the author made up a different perspective of the afterlife for people to read.…
