Percy Jackson The Demigod Files

Improved Essays
I have just read a book called ‘’Percy Jackson The Demigod Files’’ by
Rick Riordan and I thought it was a very interesting book and it is one of the best books I have read.
There were three different storys in the book but all of them were about Percy Jackson. Percy is the main charahter in the book and he is the son of Poseidon and his mother is a mortal human. Since his father is immortal and his mother is a mortal human, that makes him a demigod/half-blood. Percy appears to live a normal teenage life but in reality he is a demigod who can control water with his powers that he has inherited from his father Poseidon. In the book there is a situation where Percy rides the waves to fight Clarisses evil brother Phobos.

    The book “Andrew Jackson and the Search for Vindication” was very hard to read; however it was interesting to learn about why Andrew Jackson did what he did. The thesis statement gives a very clear point to what the whole book is going to be about before one actually reads the book. Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States of America, and he was fairly liked. He had his issues just like any other president though. This critique should help readers learn why James C. Curtis wrote this book and about his writing style, and also about Andrew Jacksons life.…

    I first picked up Highly Illogical Behavior at the recommendation of Mrs. Bock. I had never read a book with a protagonist who had a mental illness that was present in the behavior and the overall plot proceedings throughout the novel. I usually tend to stay within the genres that I am familiar with - romance and realistic fiction. Most of the books that I read are about how a man and a woman fall in love in spite of emotional and physical strife. Highly Illogical Behavior, however, was about a man who had such severe social anxiety that he developed agoraphobia, thus rendering him incapable of leaving his house.…
