"The Sea Of Monsters"
A new book I'm reading is "The Sea Of Monsters" which is the second book in "The Lightning Thief" series. It's about this boy and his name is Percy Jackson. He finds out that he is the son of Poseidon. Well, Zeus thought that Poseidon stole his master bolt, but gods can't steal from other gods, so Zeus was blaming Percy. Percy had to go on an adventure to fin the master bolt and return it to Zeus by the summer solstice, but that is only ten days away. Well, in the second book, Percy leaves camp for the winter and school is almost over and he hasn't had any trouble with any monsters....yet. On his last day of school there was going to be a dodge ball game with the whole school. All the tough kids were on one team and Percy, his friend Tyson, and a couple other kids who are afraid of the bullies are on another team. When some new kids turned out to be cannibalistic monsters Annabeth comes to save ercy and Tyson. Annabeth said there was trouble at Camp Half Blood and when they got there there were some bronze bulls that were attacking everyone. Percy and Tyson saved them from the bulls though. After that they went to go see Chiron and found out he was fired because someone poisoned Thailia's tree so the camp was being destroyed and Chiron took the blame. The new activities director's name is Tantalus and he is a mean, mean person. Tantalus put together a chariot race even though those were banned because of three deaths and many injuries. Over the time that this is all taking place Percy keeps having dreams about his friend Grover who left las summer to look for Pan and his dreams are about Grover and a Cyclops wants to marry him because he thinks he is a cyclops, but when he finds out he is a satyr he will eat him. During the race some evil birds come in and start pecking at people and Annabeth, Percy and Tyson (who is actually a Cyclops) save the camp. Clarisse won the race in the meantime. Tantalus got mad at them and said it was their fault the birds came (even though it wasn't) and they got punished. This relates to the world because there are a lot of people out there who have to deal with people like Tantalus and Clarisse and they might not all know how to handle them. But Percy Annabeth, and Tyson somehow figure out a way to keep their cool. I think that would take a lot of patience because Tantslus is a nasty guy and I would have used my powers to hurt him. But, I don't have their patience.

Chrissy,
ReplyDeleteI appreciated your comments... I think that's the difference between writing a blog and doing a traditional "book report." I like that you added insights into the characters and tried to explain the thoughts that were going on in your head while you read. I enjoyed (and agreed with) most of your comments. Thanks for sharing with me:)
