Favorite Character- Percy Jackson
  • More about Percy
  • Cares a lot about his mother and that she is
    happy.
  • Occasionally feels abandoned by his father.
  • Why he is my Favorite Character
  • He has a good personality- funny, kind, friendly,
    smart, and generous.
  • He is easy to relate to.
  • He is courageous and hopeful.

10
The Settings
  • The Labyrinth- A dark maze that spreads
    everywhere under the U.S.A. It purposely fools
    anyone inside so that many never make it out and
    go crazy.
  • Camp Half Blood- A large summer camp where it
    never rains for demigods to train. There is a
    lake, a large dining pavilion, and 12 cabins
    dedicated to the 12 main gods.
  • Calypsos Island- An island where demigods are
    occasionally stranded. Calypso was banished
    there because her father was Atlas, a very bad
    god.

11
The Summary- Page 1
  • When Percy arrives at his high school
    orientation, he is attacked by vampires and meets
    up again with the mortal Rachel Elizabeth Dare.
  • Annabeth comes and takes Percy to camp, where
    they attend a hearing where Grover is told he has
    a week to find Pan, the god of nature, and then
    he no longer has permission to be a searcher.
  • Annabeth, Percy, Grover, and Tyson go into the
    Labyrinth to find a way to navigate it before
    Kronos and Luke. Grover hopes to find Pan. There
    is a Labyrinth entrance inside the camp, so
    Kronos would be able to get in.

12
The Summary- Page 2
  • When they see Nico, who blames Percy for his
    sisters death, Nico speaks to his sister in
    ghost form and learns that her death was not
    Percys death. He forgives Percy and joins forces
    with them.
  • Percy becomes stranded on Calypsos island, and
    everyone thinks he is dead. Calypso is the
    daughter of an evil god, so she must live there.
    Percy returns to camp, where everyone thinks he
    has died.
  • Percy realizes that the best way to navigate to
    navigate the Labyrinth is using the guide of a
    mortal. Tyson and Grover are still looking for
    Pan in the maze, Rachel (the mortal), Annabeth,
    and Percy delve back into the Labyrinth.

13
The Summary- Page 3
  • When the three of them finally find Daedalus,
    they learn that he has been living inside various
    immortal bodies to avoid the eternal torture of
    the Underworld because of the murders of his son
    and nephew he committed. Unfortunately, Daedalus
    already agreed to help Kronos.
  • Percy finds the coffin Kronos has is being
    rebuilt in. When he opens it, he finds that
    Kronos has taken over Lukes body. Percy barely
    escapes.
  • Percy, Annabeth, and Rachel find Tyson and
    Grover, who have found Pan. Pan says he is dying
    and that the five of them must carry the message
    to save the wild and that Pan is dead.

14
The Summary- Page 4
  • Percy and his fellow campers go back to camp, and
    Rachel goes back home. There is a battle in the
    camp between the campers and Kronoss monsters.
    Daedalus dies. The only thing that saves Camp
    Half Blood is a scream uttered by Grover, which
    drives the monsters back into the Labyrinth.
  • The Council in charge of satyrs decides that
    Grover had been given that cry by Pan. He is
    allowed to have his searchers license again.
  • Kronos has not yet been defeated. However,
    because Daedalus died, the Labyrinth is
    destroyed.
  • At Percys small birthday party at his house
    after the end of the summer, Nico shows up,
    saying he has a way to beat Luke.

15
Changing the Ending
  • I would not change the ending of Percy Jackson
    and the Olympians.
  • This is because I think it leaves you hanging and
    anxious for the next book.
  • Also, it gives you hope that there is a way to
    defeat Kronos.

16
The Message
  • There were several messages that I got out of
    this book
  • Courage- even though Percy was afraid to do
    things like open Kronoss coffin, he did because
    he knew it was important.
  • Respect Nature- Pan told Percy and his friends
    that it was very important to preserve the wild.
  • Never Give Up!- Even when Percy wanted to stop
    trying, he never gave up.

17
Recommendations
  • I would definitely recommend this book to someone
    because
  • It is hilarious!
  • It is packed with action!
  • Overall, it is lighthearted.
  • There is mystery, cliffhangers, and lots of
    excitement.
