In class writing responce

Choice 2 - Pretend you are one of the characters from the book and write a journal entry in their perspective. Your entry could be about events that happened one day or over a certain time period.


Character: Percy Jackson


I have never been a person to keep a diary, but my life just got weirder, so hear I go. Well I am starting a journal about my adventures on this quest. I pretty much had to accept the quest. I was getting blamed for stealing Zeus's lightning bolt and I did not wish to stay on his bad side. Not to mention this was Grover's chance to make up for some big mistake he had made years before. How could I let Grover down. Chiron would not tell me where the lightning bolt was however, until I accepted the quest.


Once I had accepted the quest, Chiron sent me to The Oracle. The Oracle is this old mummy in the attic of the big house. The mummy wore a tie die sun dress, lots of bead necklaces and wore a headband over her black hair. The mummy was the spirit of Delphi. She spoke prophecies. When her mouth opened this weird green mist came out. I asked her what my destiny was and then the mist made my smelly father in law appear with a bunch of his buddies. Then they spoke in the voice of the Oracle:


You shall go west, and face the god who has turned.

You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned.

You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend.

And you shall fail to save what what matters most, in the end.


And that was it. When I went back down stairs, Chiron told me that the bolt was in the Underworld. Now I get to take two friends with me. One is Grover the other is Annabeth. Tomorrow we will travel to Los Angeles to find the bolt.
