Lost Hero Week 2

So this book is litterly what the title says it is! The protagonist in the story doesn't remember anything from his life, not even his name. Ugh I guess I'll have to tell you guys what the character's name is... Well Jason and his friends were just attacked by tornado daemons on the walk way of the Grand Canyon and were saved by Annabeth, a character from the past series, and are taken to camp half blood. There Jason finds out that he is the son of Zeus, the god of the weather, but he is actually a roman half blood so he would be the son of Jupiter. Jason is slowly starting to remember things while his friends from their correctional camp find out about their god fathers and mothers.

I watched the second Percy Jackson movie this weekend and it was very good! I can't remember how close it was from the book because i read it a long time ago, but my brother just finished reading it and he said the movie was right on the book sometimes then other times it was no where close to it. I think if you love the myths of the Greeks and Romans, you will love not only the Hero's of Olympus series and the Percy Jackson series, but the movies based off the books. In other things Rick Riordan the author of both series has made another series involving  Eygytion gods called the Kane Chronicals. I read a little of the first book of the series called the Red Pyramid and I have to say it is very good pick it up now!

Lost Hero Blog Post 1

I just started this book and I really like it because of the mythical aspect of it and the Greek/Roman gods myths have always intrigued. I think the author wrote this book to entertain readers and to get them thinking of the Greek/Roman gods myths. He did a really good job with the demigod camps that he implamented into the story. I like the new problem in this new story with having a Roman demigod at a Greek demigod camp and Percy the old protaginist who is a Greek demigod at a Roman demigod camp.


Nature has a huge part in this story due to the fact that the gods are based off nature and their demigod kids try to contol the powers that were pasted down to them by their god parents. The protaginist forgets who he is and what he is doing, he was like Percy in the Roman camp. Percy is the same way he forgets who he is, his friends, and his father (Posiedon) and for gets his powers. Now I won't tell you what the name is of the protaginist is and who his father is you'll have to find out yourself.

Reflection

Blog that I think is the best: http://michaelhall9blog.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-rivalry-week-2-this-book-is-really.html
           I felt like I did a really good job describing what the charcters are doing but not giving it away what is happening in the book. Also I connected the book to another book and I thought that was pretty cool. I did a really good job of telling peoplpe that the book is a chalange going from flash-forward to flash-back. I didn't get todo a theme because you couldn't tell what it was because I just started.


           Next trimester my goal is to remember the blog and get on atleast 3 times a week. Also I would like to finish more than 2 books so I will have more to blog about. I would like to read books that I've thought i would never like and give them a shot. Finally I would like for me to read atleast 150 mins. a night,

Rivalry Recap
