"The Titan's Curse" is a young adult/fantasy literature novel written by Rick Riordan. It is the 3rd book in the Percy Jackson series. It was published on may 11th 2007.

The book commences as Percy Jackson, the main character, is being driven to a boarding school along with his friends, answering a call of distress from his satyr friend Grover Underwood. Percy and his friends make their way over to a boarding school in which is thought by Grover to have a manticore posing as the school's vice principal (Dr. Thorn). Also at the school, Grover has spotted two demigod siblings, Bianca and Nico. It’s implied by Grover that the manticore is after the two demigods. I would not like to be in this situation considering there's a manticore involved.

This is because demigods are made to read ancient greek and gave inborn battle reflexes. He is described as brave, and extremely loyal to his friends and family. He remains static with the exception of becoming more confident with his half-blood skills. Other characters include Annabeth Chase, Grover Underwood, Thalia, Luke, Chiron and tyson. Annabeth is described as very intelligent and rational. She was the first demigod percy met when he first arrived at camp half-blood years before. Grover Underwood is a satyr, meaning he’s half mortal and half goat. In this book he’s acting as a human at Westover Hall to rescue two half-bloods and bring them back to Camp Half-blood. I like all the characters in the book. I suppose my least favorite would be Bianca, one of the half-bloods Percy and his friends …show more content…
I don't favor her much because later on in the book she choses to join The Hunters of Artemis, therefore leaving her brother Nico behind at Camp Half-blood.

The story begins as Percy and his friends are on their way to a boarding school where Grover, Bianca, Nico, and a manticore awaits them. When they arrive, they run into the manticore, who is disguised as the school's vice principal. Percy and his friends attempt blending in as students that attend the school in order to watch over Bianca and Nico. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Thalia then split into groups. In the midst of conversation, Annabeth notices that the demigod siblings have got missing from the room, along with Dr Thorn (the manticore). On their way to find the siblings and the monster, annabeth and percy lose each other in the crowd Thalia and grover are nowhere to be seen either. Percy searches for the demigods. Eventually running into them, Percy explains to them why he and his friends are here. Bianca sees Dr. thorn behind Percy and tries to warn him but is too late, Percy is struck in the shoulder with a poisonous sword, weakening him. Dr.

    * This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review I'm sad to say that this is my first 3 star rating for a CoHo book.

    The State as a Scientist: A Individuals Aversion to Truth, or Attraction to Poison In Hawthorne’s “Rappaccini’s Daughter” and “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” Nathaniel Hawthorne is well known for his religious overtones in his stories, such as The Scarlet Letter, “Young Goodman Brown,” and “Rappaccini’s Daughter.” The historical allegory—like his use of the Garden of Eden—often overpowers the rest of the story, and because the audience is well aware of Hawthorne’s tendency to use religious themes they often overlook what is different. “Rappaccini’s Daughter,” in particular, was the one that started everything; at first, Hawthorne’s theme of the garden of Eden was prevalent and overpowering: There is a garden—Eden, a scientist—the snake, a young woman—Eve, and a young man—Adam.…
