PARAGRAPH #1
- In the first four chapters I read from the book, I can find out that all the sequels and chapters of Percy Jackson novels are connected. It all starts in the introduction, a boy named Percy Jackson, a half-blood so that means is son of a ancient god, Poseidon (God of the seas) well, he had a really scared dream of his best friend Grover, the satyr (son of a ancient satyr, PAN) In his dream his friend was in really big danger he was running away of a big shadow. When Percy woke up he saw a shadow in his window and after few seconds it disappeared, he got to the kitchen and there was his mom Sally, then he remember it was the last day of school without getting expel, he was excited because after school he will go to the best place for him, Camp Half-Blood the only safest place for half-bloods of monsters, but his mom talk with Percy about the situation in the camp, she said that he will not go this summer to camp because there were in big problems and danger in there, Percy got really upset and mad. In the second chapter, Percy go to school normally with Tyson his only two meter friend, Percy met him in the subway on a carton box, all school said that they just accepted Tyson because they had pain because he was dumb, In the period they had sports they play Dodgeball the two of them with other nerds vs. all the bullies lead by Matt Sloan, but it result that the bullies except Sloan become monsters, they converted into cannibals. The cannibals scared all the people in the gym, but Percy got amazed when a familiar figure appear in the gym, it was Annabeth other half-blood, daughter of Athena (Goddess of Strategy and Wisdom), she said to Percy follow her, the police and firefighters were there so they don`t have other choices just to obey. And finally in chapter three and four they just got into a crazy taxi with three old ladies that were blind, they drive so crazy and fast (they were invisible to mortals) Tyson have to vomit, also they told Percy about a Prophecy of him so he got confused and in the next chapter they reached to the camp but there was a problem, they saw it was under attack there were two Colchis bulls that breathe fire and the size of an elephant that were made by Hephaestus, the taxi drivers got so scared they said that they don`t have to pay Drachmas, and the other problem were that Thalia`s tree (dead half-blood girl, daughter of Zeus), protects the camp with a barrier from monsters like the bulls, it was poisoned from someone and the tree was dying slowly, the god`s thought that Chiron (Camp instructor director) have the fault because he had the responsibility to protect the tree from this danger situations and also his in charge of the poisons and the god`s think he is suspect of poisoned the tree, so Percy realized that the camp was in really big problems.

- "Meriwether Prep had adopted Tyson as a community service project so all the students could feel good about themselves. Unfortunately, most of them couldn`t stand Tyson. Once they discovered he was a big softie, despite his massive strength and his scary looks, they made themselves feel good by picking on him. I was pretty much his only friend, which meant he was my only friend. My mom had complained to the school a million times that they weren`t doing enough to help him. She`d called social services, but nothing ever seemed to happen. The social workers claimed Tyson didn`t exist. They swore up and down that they`d visited the alley we described and couldn`t find him, though how you miss a giant kid living in a refrigerator box, I don`t know." page # (9) and (10)
- Well, I find it interesting this quotes because every time I read this little part of the book I can imagine how difficult and brave the life of Tyson is, with bullying every day and just with one friend how brave Tyson is. And the other thing I find interesting in this quotes is that I have a big question in my mind. What kind of a private school will accepted a kid that have problems with his brain?. Why the private school don`t send the kid to a special schools with special kids?. Why private school don`t do nothing about the bullying?.

- I really like to read this book inside my body I`m telling myself "OMG" what is going to happen next, I can not really stop reading this awesome book. I will like in the next chapters happen that everybody will accept Tyson in the camp as a normal kid and good friend, that will make me happy. What I really learned of this story is the true concept of bullying, is the worst thing you can do to a person so basically that is theme. In the end of chapter four what it really leave me inside is that something really bad is going to happen to the camp and half-bloods, "THIS KIDS HAVE THE WORST LUCK EVER!!!"
