Prompt: What motivates the main character
What motivated Percy Jackson was his mother, friends, and bravery. Percy Jackson's mother was taken from him . So he starts a journey to find his mother. He is determined the entire journey not to give up because of his love for his mother. I think for him that was the main motivation because she is the most important person in the world for him. He would stop at no cost. The determination to get his mother is partly what keeps him alive in the story.
Another thing is his friends. Grover and Annabeth. They decide to go along with him on this journey. For Grover he feels it is his job because he is Percy's protector. For Annabeth she thrills for an adventure where she faces danger and real life situations instead of just simulations like they have at the camp they live at.
Percy is extremely brave throughout the book. He learns to use his powers more and more. He figures out how to control the powers and save both his and his friends lives. He faces so many mythological creatures that sound like pure monsters that he must stand up to and kill. I really enjoyed this book because it contains a lot of action so you don't get bored. I like how descriptive Rick Riordan makes everything so that you have a clear picture and understanding of everything that is happening in the book.
