Finding Out Hades

Author's Note: This piece was written to predict what will happen later in The Lightning Thief. Demigod means half human half god.

It was a stormy night, the ocean was astir. Percy Jackson calmly sleeping in his bed; when suddenly, someone knocks on the door. What could this be about? In the book The Lightning Thief by “Rick Riordan” Percy Jackson a 12 year old dyslexic boys who lives on the upstate side of New York, finds out the ugly truth of him being a demigod. He must return Zeus his master bolt. But everyone is blaming Hades. I predict Hades didn’t take the bolt.

All of the God’s thought that Hades had stole the master bolt from Zeus but, I believe it wasn’t. If Hades had took the bolt he wouldn’t of let Percy into the Underworld so easily. If Hades took it he wouldn’t let anyone into his layer because they would have the possibility of finding it. A demigod who no one would expect probably took it from Olympus because every God would think it was a more mischievous God.

Another reason Hades probably didn’t take it is because he kept telling Percy he didn’t have it. Also Hades kept saying to Percy “give me my Realm of Darkness”. If two things were stolen and one of them was Hades, then he probably didn’t take just one thing and someone else take the other. It must’ve been one person taking the two things.

If Percy finds a way somehow to escape the Underworld and get the Realm of Darkness back to Hades, then Hades might give Percy his mother back. I think this because when Percy first meets Hades he seems nice like he has some generosity in him.

If Hades didn’t take it everything will be peaceful on Mount Olympus. I sure do hope Hades didn’t take it.

Percy's Letter

Dear Percy,
I was wondering if you like Annabeth? It seems like you do a lot. It's kind of obvious, I just wish you would admit it so I can get that off my back of questions. Do you feel pressure being the son of Poseiden? It makes sense if you did because he's so powerful and everyone expects you to be just like him. Well, good luck with your next adventures and Annabeth.

Your Reader,
Ryan

Annabeth

Annabeth is a good friend,
Her, Percy and Grover descend,
Into eternal fire,
Percy can't help but admire,
Her strength and trend

A Change?

"What is happening at the summer solstice" shows symbolism. It does because it brings irony into the book. It almost makes you feel worried. It makes you think, shoot is someone going to die, is some one going to get hurt. It made me think is some ones life going to be changed?

Predicting The Future For Percy

To inform you of how I think the book will end.

In the book “The Lightning Thief” by Rick Riordan Percy Jackson, has to travel from New York City to Los Angeles to get the master bolt back from Hades. But I predict that Hades didn’t take it and that another God took it. I think this because Hades keeps denying that he took it. Also Hades keeps asking Percy to give him back his “Realm of Darkness”. I think Percy will find a way to return the “Realm of Darkness” to Hades. Then Hades will give Percy his mother back. Also in the middle of the book, when Percy speaks to the oracle it says “a friend will betray you”. That hasn’t happened yet so I think it will happen in the last few pages.

Down The Wrong Road

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to have no one care about you? In the book “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton Ponyboy doesn’t really have true family besides his two brothers, unless you consider young teens that live on their own. Even though they can barely control their own life, they control Ponyboy from going down the wrong road.

If Ponyboy wouldn’t of had his friends and family he would’ve been a junkie who didn’t excel in school like he did. Ponyboy also was a star on his track team. Without his family and friends he would’ve been a dropout just like his brother.

I can connect this book to “April Morning” because if Adam’s father wouldn’t have been so strict Adam wouldn’t have been such a good kid and a good student. Even though Adam thought his father hated him he and it made him not want to mess up. His family kept him out of trouble just like Ponyboy.

Family is the most important thing in life. If you didn’t have it you would probably be going down the wrong road.
