How Does Grover Protect Percy Jackson

Decent Essays
A minor character in my book is Grover. Grover is the friend of the main character (Percy Jackson). He is a satyr which is half human (top half) and half goat (bottom half). His part in the book is to protect Percy from any bad, evil creatures that are trying to kill him. He and the main character are best friends. In the beginning, Grover had to get to know Percy in order to know that Percy was a demi-god. Grover was sent to find him and protect him because he wasn’t safe in the world. Percy didn’t know that he was in danger and didn’t know about the creatures that were anonymously around

    In the novel Border Crossing, Pat Barker explores the theme of children who have committed violent and evil crimes, to question whether children have the moral understanding to be held responsible for their actions. Barker uses a variety of literary techniques, such as contrasting characters and juxtaposition, to illustrate her ideas. Danny is compared to Tom's other patients and Tom to encourage the readers to question if children are truly evil or if they merely react to their environment. Similarly, Barker uses the juxtaposition of fire and water, as well as professional and personal relationships to explore whether nurture is responsible for Danny's behaviour or if it is a part of his nature to be inherently evil and manipulative. Danny is frequently contrasted with Tom in the novel to…

    While the creature is a character that the audience cannot help but to sympathize with, several parts of his story indicate that he might not be as reliable of a narrator as he appears to be. His acquisition of human characteristics in such an efficient manner is highly unlikely since the brain which resides in his head has most likely not been used in a long time and thus would not immediately be able to make the connections necessary to interpret the world. For instance, the creature somehow manages to “improve more rapidly” than the Arabian which seems unlikely since she has had more experience with the world and a far more extensive education than the creature ever could have given himself (Shelley 127). Additionally is seems rather unlikely…

    In the novel Frankenstein, Marry Shelly definitely shows the influence of the Romantic Period. One of the most important features of the novel is the way in which the creature convinces Frankenstein to comply with his request in Chapter 17. Throughout the better part of their exchange, the creature's tone is reasonable in the extreme: in fact, his desire for a companion seems almost noble. In this way, he will divest himself of his longing for violence and revenge, and lead a blameless life. By aligning his maliciousness with his misery, he is implicitly blaming Frankenstein for what he has become: such an accusation, however, is effective in evoking the sympathy of both Victor and the reader.…

    After reading the novel Frankenstein there are plenty of times when the monster experiences things that make him loose hope in humanity. He feels useless, hopeless, angry, upset and not wanted.
