When I first read the plot I read it super fast because I was so excited that a new book was out and that it had Percy in it. I mean it's Percy. Anyways after I read it the first time I had to stop and go "wait....what is it about?" So I had to reread it again but very slowly. I also tired to think of what maybe Rick was thinking about with each of the three things for the three main characters for this book.
For Percy's all I had to do was read the first line and I started to think "oh no! Rick Riordan what did the gods do to Percy know!" As I read further along in the little paragraph I just kept on thinking which god did this to Percy and Annabeth. Then I saw the last sentence and immediately I thought "What! Did Athena and Aphrodite team up on Percy and Annabeth?" I was so unhappy as I thought about that since Percy and Annabeth have been through so much together. For Hazel's I started to think after reading the first sentence "What is she a zombie that Ares brought back for the 'other' camp?" I then saw the next part about her mom being possessed by greed and I started to think didn't one of Hades's forms had a power to do something with jewels being brought up from the ground. But I also wasn't exactly sure if that was right at all. I started to wonder what is Hazel's gift and what did she do with it that could harm the future of the world. With the last sentence I just thought that she could have just liked horses and that she is meant to find the house that is in her dreams. For Frank's when I saw klutz I automatically thought of a medium height person that isn't to his full height and obviously clumsy. Then I saw the next line and I honestly hadn't heard of any myths about people being descended from heroes but then I guess that it could happen. With the next line of him hoping Apollo claims him but not being very good at archery during the war games I can't help but think that maybe he isn't a son of Apollo at all. Since Apollo's kids are always good at archery. The last sentence though is making me wonder what Frank's secret is that he feels like he can trust Hazel with and what did Hazel do to get Frank to trust her with this kind of secret.
