Reflection #1

This book starts off by telling you a bit about Percy Jackson, how he has been kicked out of six schools in six years and how he is currently attending Yancy Academy. While Percy was attending Yancy he met a new friend named Grover, who helps Percy on his journey throughout the book, because he is half goat and half human. Percy finds this out later on in the book when he is sent to Camp Half Blood, Camp Half Blood is a camp for demigods.(demigods are the offspring off gods and they are half human, half god) While attending Camp Half Blood Percy was taking part in a game they play called capture the flag. In this game there is two opposing teams going for one objective, capture the opposing team's flag using either your powers or your sword and shield while keeping your own team's flag safe. Percy was told to guard the creek and make sure that nobody passed by and retrieved the flag. While Percy was guarding the creek one Clarisse and five other Ares warriors charged towards him, they surrounded Percy Clarisse stepped forward and attacked Percy with her electric barbed spear, she shocked Percy with her spear and he became dizzy- warm and cold all at the same time. Clarisse kicked Percy into the water, soon as Percy landed in the water he immediately felt better and seemed to wake up his senses. Clarisse and the other Ares warriors stepped into the creek to finish off Percy, but Percy stood up and started to swing at the other Ares cabin mates and took them out one by one until Clarisse was the only one left. Clarisse lunged her spear towards Percy, Percy step to the side and swung his sword at her spear and shattered it in half. Clarisse was extremely mad, put Percy wasn't paying attention because behind her Luke came running down with the other teams flag and crossed the line winning the game. While every body was celebrating a vicious monster called a hellhound came charging towards Percy and tackled him, the hellhound started to scratch Percy. Suddenly the hellhound fell over, Percy looked over and saw Chiron one of the camp directors with a bow in his hands, Percy was bleeding a lot and could hardly move. Annabeth yelled at Percy and told him to get into the water, Percy managed to make his way into the water, as soon as he reached the water he felt better and cuts seemed to magically go away. The camp went silent and every body starred at Percy, above Percy head was a green trident. Percy ask what was happening Chiron one of the camp directors told Percy that it was a sign of Poseidon, it was Poseidon telling every body that Percy was his son.
