Half Human, Half God, All Hero
Have you ever loved a character so much that you wish you knew them in real life? I have, and his name is Percy Jackson, from the books; Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus. Percy has got to be my favorite literary character of all time. For me, Percy is just everything you look forward to in a main character. He's funny, charming, and an all-out hero that's not afraid to take one for the team. All the adventures Percy and his friends go through are so mysterious and adventurous that it makes me wish that I was a demigod, had a power of some sort that I inherited from my god parent, had a half human half goat guardian, and that I had saved the world from evil Titans trying to rise against the gods. I also love all the situational and dramatical irony throughtout the stories. Percy is always cracking jokes, thinking of plans, or just going with the flow. Also, I admire how much he loves his girlfriend Annabeth. I know he would sail thousands of seas just to have one last underwater kiss with her. Even in times of completely forgetting who he is and what he's done, somehow he still remebers his dearly beloved, Annabeth. I admire Percy for all these reasons and more. No matter how many books, or characters I fall in love with in the future, I will always remember the kid who made it to the underworld and back, fell in love, made peace throughout the god world, raised seas, saved us from rising Titans, and who will eventually bring the Roman and Greek worlds together again.

WABAAM!!! Shoot, that was really great!! Nice choice, Claudia.
ReplyDeleteThanks.. I just changed it a little ,just now though.
DeleteThis is a great way to describe the half mortal, half god that will eventually bring the two main mythological world together. I have read the original books with Percy in them, and looking forward to the next book our beloved Lightning Thief author brings to us. Great way to describe the Percy Jackson we all know and love.
