QUESTION 1:

Which character would you like (or not like) to be your friend? Why?

RESPONSE 1:

I think that Annabeth would be a great friend to have. She is strong in the heart and mind. I think that she would always stick by your side. Also the fact that she is a daughter of Athena. Her mother goddess of wisdom, reason and purity. Annabeth also has many of these traits and so I think that she would be a great friend to back you up in many situations and she will also stand by you loyally.

QUESTION 2:

What other character(s) beside the main character is really important to the story? How and why?

RESPONSE 2:

I think that Annabeth plays a vital part in this story. She stands next to Percy throughout most of his adventures. She has the wisdom and reason of Athena behind her. And she uses that to help Percy fight and figure out problems.

She also knows more about Greek Mythology. She knows all of the Greek Gods, Titans and other creatures. She helped figure out that Aunty Em was actually Medusa. Using this knowledge saved her friends on many accounts.

She also knows a lot more about being a half-blood. Percy only just learned what he truly was, but Annabeth has grown up around other half-bloods. She lived at camp since she was seven and knows all about the world that the mortals cannot see. This is why I think that Annabeth plays a crucial part in this story.
