In A Year, Plenty Of Things Change

Summary of this week´s chapters

This new book called: The Sea of Monsters is a really incredible book. It starts when the half-blood Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, has a dream about Grover, his best friend who is a satyr, that something is chasing Grover. Percy starts a good year so far until the last day of school when he destroys the school while playing dodge ball with monsters. This year, he meets a new friend called Tyson. When they almost beat the monster, Annabeth, friend of Percy and daughter of Athena, talks to Percy and they go immediately to camp in a taxi driven by the Gray Sisters who were really intelligent and knew what location Percy was seeking but Percy didn't knew what they were talking about. They just said 30, 31, 75, and 12. When they arrived at camp, the camp was being attacked by two huge bronze bulls. They defeated the bulls and discovered Tyson was a Cyclops! Chiron, the activity director, was being replaced for Tantalus who was a monster from the fields of punishment. They also found out Thalia's tree, Thalia was the daughter of Zeus who gave her life to protect the camp and became a pine tree, was being poisoned by something really dangerous from Tartarus. At the end of the chapter, all people at camp have dinner and then Poseidon claims Tyson as his son!    

Important quotes

"Yes, trouble, Tantalus said with satisfaction. You caused plenty of it last summer, I understand." (Page58). This quote made me think how much Tantalus didn't like Percy. He tries to make Percy look like all he does is trouble and he makes fun of it. Tantalus didn't start well with Percy but it was much of his fault since he didn't respect him and didn't gave him a good welcome.
"Chiron, what's happening? You're not.... leaving? Her voice was shaky. Chiron was like a second father to her." (Page 51)
I think the author is trying to make people see how strong Annabeth and Chiron's relationship was. He is trying to show how hard is Chiron's leaving for both. I also think he is trying to make people see the impact Chiron has made over Annabeth.

Final thoughts

I want to keep reading the book because it's very interesting. I think maybe Percy will go on a quest like the last book. I also predict maybe Percy will try to make camp a good and fun place for Chiron since he now is his half-brother. I want to know what is going to happen to Thalia's tree!
