Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (Literary Analysis Paragragh)
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is a 375 page book about young ADD kid who turns out to be a demigod of one of the Big Three (that is to say, a child of Poseidon). Once he figures that out, his demigod aura becomes stronger and he gets chased by a monster trying to eat him, but he goes to the one place monsters can't get through, Camp Half-Blood. There he trains to fight monsters alongside his best friend, a satyr, Grover. At Camp Half-Blood, Percy, Grover, and another friend (kind of) Annabeth, get a quest (a rare happening at camp) to save Mount Olympus by returning Zeus' master lightning bolt and return it to him or else a bloody war between the gods will start that will make the Revolutionary War sound like a discussion over tea. Will Percy make it before the Winter Solstice and prevent the bloody war? Or will his ADD get the best of him and make Percy late? Remember, the book is called Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
