Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

1. In the movie, Percy is able to command the sea, while Tyson has great strength and keen senses of smell and hearing. Imagine you are the son or daughter of a god and possess an extraordinary ability. Describe the ability you would choose for yourself and how you might use it on the quest.

If I will be a daughter of a god and if I will possess an extraordinary ability I will choose the ability of invisibility because if I can see that there is enemies near me I can be invisible and it will be easy for me to defeat my enemies and can pass through them easily because they cannot see me and also if my friends are in trouble I can easily help them because I can also make them invisible.

2. How do Percy's feelings about Tyson at the end of the story differ from his feelings about Tyson at the beginning of the story? What do you think is the reason for this change?
Compare the relationship of Percy and Tyson to their father, Posiedon. Site some instances to support your statement.

             At first, Percy is in doubt of having a brother because Tyson is a Cyclops and he was ashamed to have a monster as a brother. He did not believe him and he did not trust Tyson but later on he is fond of Tyson after the adventures they had together and when Luke and his henchman ambush them Tyson save Percy’s life and when Percy thought Tyson is dead he felt guilty because he did not treat Tyson as a brother.

             Percy relationship to his father is at first, Percy resented his father, feeling as if he were abandoned, but as he sees more of his father they form a close bond. When every time Percy tries to talk to his father to ask help, it ends up with no response while Tyson never had a bond with his father because he was one of the many homeless Cyclopes but his father always help him when he ask for help.

3. How is the reawakening of Thalia, the daughter of Zeus, impact the prophecy that says “a half-blood child of one of the Big Three gods will be a dangerous weapon or destruction”?

Thalia can also be one of the prophecy that can bring back Zeus to life and Zeus will take advantage of that.

Demeter

Goddess of Fertility and Agriculture

         Demeter possessing an introverted temperament, a kind, and has a gentle-soul, she re-paid people well for even the smallest favors. She is concerned with bearing, raising and nurturing children and family. She was also depicted as a mature woman, often crowned and holding sheaf of wheat and a torch. She is the goddess who taught mankind about agriculture, she is also the goddess responsible for creating winter and a mystery religious cult. It is Demeter that makes the crops grow each year. She is the daughter of Cronos and Rhea. And also has a daughter Persephone who abducted by Hades.

        My similarities to Demeter are, like Demeter I am also a shy type person I don't like to be notice by people. I am also a kind person I really want to help people in need especially if I know that I can help them. I also love children, I love to play with them and I am happy to see a happy family. I am also a matured person. I know how to handle things in a situation especially my problems and I have a green thumb that's why I chose Demeter because she is the goddess of Fertility and Agriculture. I love to plant vegetables and trees, I am happy every time I see my plants grow and I am always talking to the plants when I am watering them.
