Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters


                      I am reading Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. Percy and Annabeth have to save the camp and Percy's friend Grover. Grover is a Satyr, a half goat- half man. Grover was trying to capture the golden fleece so he can save the camp. The golden fleece can restore any living or non-living beings power. Tantalus (the head of the camp) gives Clarisse permission to go on a quest. Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson go  anyways. They run through various problems trying to get to Polyphemus's island. They eventually get to the island and retrieve the fleece also killing Polyphemus.

                      Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters can connect to how Puerto Rico is using balloons to restore their cell service. These articles can connect In the Sea of Monsters, they are using the Golden Fleece to restore the barrier to keep out monsters from getting in the camp. Monsters attacked the barrier and eventually broke it. This similar to the Puerto Rico article because like monsters, hurricanes hit Puerto Rico and broke the cell towers.

                      If I was Grover, I would run away in less than five seconds. Percy shouldn't have let Annabeth listen to the siren's. If he wouldn't have let her listen, they would have avoided so much emotion, trouble, and physical ability. I don't like that the author put in the part where Percy and Annabeth get stuck at the resort and then Percy gets turned into a hamster. It was just a waste of pages and time.

Text To World -- The Fault in Our Stars

    I am reading  The Fault in Our Stars  by John Green. This book is about two teenagers with cancer that happen to fall in love and go places together to live life to their fullest ability, while still accepting the fact that they are dying, in the end something is lost. What do you think this is? They meet at a support group in "the real heart of Jesus" Hazel and Augustus both read and they love this book called An Imperial Infliction.  They go to  Amsterdam together and meet the author of their book and he turns out to be very rude.  When they get back something is lost and is very sad. Hazel and Issac are looking for something left behind and go on a tiny adventure.       This book connects to the world in a lot of ways but the one that stood out the most to me, is that the world and the book share one very big problem, disease and cancer. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters both have cancer and Issac and other people have illness and h...

Text to Self- The Maze Runner

           I am reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. This book's genre is post-apocalyptic. This book is about a teen named Thomas who came to this mysterious place called the Glades. He does not know where and why he is there. Thomas does not also know anything about his life anymore; he is completely clueless. Now that Thomas has been at the Glades for a while, he now knows there is a large maze with bad things inside. Thomas is not allowed to go inside the maze. However, Thomas said he wants to participate in being a runner.            The character Thomas reminds me of one of my friends because she is very outgoing. Therefore, Thomas is outgoing because he wants to be a runner in the maze.  Thomas also reminds me of myself because I am always very cautious of my actions in various situations. For example, when Thomas was very alert about some sort of "abyss", he did not take the risk of getting any closer. Inste...

Text to Text- The Maze Runner

          I am reading  The Maze Runner by James Dashner.  This story is about a boy named Thomas who was brainwashed and taken to a place called the Glades. Thomas was very curious on running in the maze inside the Glades. When he had the chance, Thomas went into the maze and became a runner. Thomas is starting to put together clues and messages he has found to why he went to the glades in the first place. He is now trying to decode a message that has been created, so he can stop the danger. Thomas and the other runners need to defeat the grievers, and what is happening to their world.           The scene where the ferocious creatures (grievers) come and are trying to break their way into the map room, reminds me of the book The Hunger Games . That specific scene reminds me of  The Hunger Games  because when the other creatures (mutts) come out from the forest, the characters were prepared as well, but struggled to...
