    Although The Sirens of Titan is a non-fiction book, it points out several of philosophies about life. The Sirens of Titan follows Malachi Constant, the richest and luckiest man in the 22nd century, whose bizarre and random journeys take him from Earth to Mars to Mercury, and finally to the Saturn moon of Titan, where he learns a painful and absurd truth about the history of humanity. In the book, Kurt Vonnegut employs characters’ lives to reflect his idea about a balance of humanism and existentialism that helps people create their own meaning of life. His book is a complex system of ideas and philosophies which relates to that in some political essays such as Lao-tzu’s…

    Sometimes, even in the darkest times, love will find you. In the fantastic book by Rick Riordan, House of Hades, the two main characters, Percy and Annabeth, fall into the depths of Tartarus together.

Thalia then warns Percy that the hunters don’t have the best history at the Camp, Percy then notices that Bianca seems to be acting poorly towards Nico, and she begins to think it was a selfish act to leave her brother behind. Percy goes to talk to Chiron and the camp director, Mr. D. He starts off by telling them everything that happened, When he tells them about the hunters, Chiron then instructs him to tell the other campers that they will have an honorary game of capture the flag since this is a tradition they have when the hunters are at.

She gave me a wary look. “what do you mean?” “The way you stiffened up. You must’ve been thinking about your mom” (Riordan…

    Next, my second favorite scene is when Percy has to battle his godly brother, Antaeus, another child of Poseidon, in a coliseum. This scene is also an example of man versus man, a literally term that matches this part. On Chapter 14, Percy gets sent to a coliseum and battles Antaeus in order to get further into the labyrinth. This scene shows two children born from the same deity fighting to the death. As the conflict continues, Percy finds a way to get through Antaeus's sand defenses, and finishes him off with a stab to the heart. The background of this part is very exciting since a large portion of actions is included. This scene is the main part of action in this novel which makes readers enjoy reading. The…
