I grew up in what is considered a low income family, but I’ve always wanted to go to college. Before I even understood the concept of degrees, I would tell my parents “I want to go to college for seven years!” because I thought we could just choose how long we could go to college for. As I grew up, my goals became realistic. Instead of being president, however, I now want to do something that involves helping others and educating. I would like to work in schools, preferably high school was an…

by Rick Riordan, is the first book of a new series of books following the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series. Rick Riordan has been known for his Percy Jackson series, and how he has shown his theme of Greek Gods. The Percy Jackson series was completely about Greek mythology. Now Riordan's new series is about the Roman gods, and their history and mythology. It’s interesting how this transition was made, especially since many of the Greek components still exist through the book. Riordan…

Award-winning song “Radioactive”. Surprisingly, Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson, the main character in the book The Titan’s Curse, can relate to this line, as well as the rest of the song.

Both pieces of literature show the reader that you can you can overcome your obstacles if you are willing to do it. However, Riordan uses metaphors to convey this theme,…

Rating On a scale from 1 to 5, I give The House of Hades a rating of 4. There were many interesting parts and there were some parts that I tried not to fall asleep on. Some of the interesting parts were when Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase were in Tartarus fighting monsters, slowly dying. They are met with past enemies and make unforeseen alliances. In the Prophecy of Seven, one of the lines say, “And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death”. Their foes in the story are Bob the Titan, AKA…

something in Greek Mythology. Greek mythology and Greek culture in general have had a major impact on American culture. “You can’t walk to any U.S city without seeing something that has been influenced by the Greeks,” says Chiron, a character from one of Rick Riordan’s, popular writer of the Percy Jackson books and former middle school mythology teacher, books. There have also been plays from Greek times that have been modernized so then we can relate more to the story, such as Fiona…
