The Lightning Thief


1. Why does Percy try to keep a low profile on the train? Because he was all over newspapers, news, and signs.

2. What new information does Annabeth tell us about her father in this chapter? Her dad resented her, he asked Athena to take her back, and he never wanted to have her as his child.

3. Annabeth says a couple of unexpected friends took care of her when she ran away from home. Any guesses who these might be? Why? Luke for one of my guesses and um... and maybe Grover. Luke has been at camp for the same amount of time and Grover's first keeper job five years ago and Annabeth has been at camp for 5 years

4. Why does Percy laugh when Annabeth tells him what she wants to be? He never thought that Annabeth could sit down and stay still

5. What magic item does Hades have? What are its powers? Realm of Darkness. It powers are it can make Hades melt into a shadow {just like a shadow all you see is shadow you don't here it} and scare people so much it can make your heart stop.

6. Describe the Chimera. A ten foot tall monster with a lion head, giant goat legs, serpent tail, and wearing a rhinestone collar.

7. Echidna says Percy should feel honored to be killed by her. Why? Because Zeus doesn't let her kill heroes.

8. What is Percy’s “fatal mistake” while battling the Chimera? Slashing toward Chimera's neck even though he was wearing a collar.

9. Why does Percy decide he has no choice but to jump? What would you have done in his place? There was no where else to go but, down. I would of jumped, proved my blood line and see if the water would heal me.

10. How would the battle have been different if there were no mortal spectators in the Arch? They could of battled and not harm anyone and Chimera would of attacked as soon as they saw him if there were not any mortals.
