Post 2

      I spotted an empty, dull, ancient, subway and walked down the rusty, narrow steps. It was so much warmer in the subway and smelt clean but, was the total opposite. I purchased a ticket with the ten dollar bill in my pants pocket. The money was a little wet but the understanding grandpa at the smooth, cold, counter still yanked it out my fragile hands with his long, wrinklily, claws, almost ripping the money, and gave me my ticket. The man bald and as short and round as a pumpkin. I stuffed the red subway ticket into my pocket, bending the edges of the ticket.  
        I searched the small, dark, room for a place to sit. All the way on the left of the room was a miniature, wooden, bench. Patiently waiting, I sat down on the bench,watching people go on and off subways. The room started to get chilly because of the doors of the subways sliding open and close. The subway wasn't my favorite mode of transportation because it is filthy and it takes a long time for the subway to get here. I swung my feet back and forth. I started to get so bored that I began to sing nursery rhymes. 
        Finally, after what seemed like forever my subway was here. I walked to the subway and hopped inside gingerly, making sure I wouldn't fall on the subway tracks. I sat down at the nearest seat. The burgundy seat was small, greasy, old and ripped. I was squashed in my seat like sardines in a can. It had a musty smell and the guy next to me smelt like cigarettes. The young man on the left of me was half asleep. He was scrawny and had a long, dark, curly beard. His inexpensive jean jacket was very dirty and ripped all over. He looked and smelt disgusting. I wish I could make him disappear.

The Titan's Curse

In this book, Grover found two half bloods at a school, and he told Thalia, Percy, and Annabeth to go to the school and bring the half-bloods to camp half-blood.The half-bloods were named Nico and Bianca Di Angelo. When they arrived at the school, they found out that the principal was a monster and a titan. Next, the monster fought Thalia, Grover, Percy, and Annabeth. Artemis, godess of the hunt and Zoe, one of Artemis's hunters helped Thalia, Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Nico, and Bianca fight the titan. Annabeth was taken by the monster. They didn't know what the monster did with her or if she was still alive. Percy had dreams about Annabeth being tortured by the titans so he knew she was still alive. Then, Bianca, Zoe, Thalia, Grover, and Artemis were chosen to go on a quest to save Annabeth. Nico asked Percy to go on the quest and keep his sister, Bianca safe. Unfornately, Artemis got lost and Bianca gave her life to save the others on the quest. Zoe, Grover, Thalia, and Percy rescued Annabeth and found Artemis. Thalia was asked to become a hunter and she did. Nico was very angry with Percy when he found out that he let her die. Nico ran away from camp half-blood. As you can see, the hunters and half-bloods went on a quest and suceeded at rescueing Annabeth and finding Artemis.

       Everyday is torture. Since i was ten, plants, animals and cleaning has been my life. I would trade my life with almost anybody else's. I wish I was a nurse. Curing patients, and helping people is what i yearn to do. But I'm a grueling farmer. I water the plants, clean the barns, and feed the animals all day and night.
       One day that started out ordinary when i was feeding my favorite horse, Apple, I was surround by smoke and a yellow and orange color. I realized I was on fire! All i heard was crackle noises. I didn't feel hot at all, and i wasn't burnt. I tried to scream but I was to shocked to make a sound. The other farmers just stood there astonished. Finally, one of them got a fire extinguisher and came running toward me. Suddenly, I was covered in white foam that had a horrid smell. The fire covered the foam and the fire got bigger. Another farmer poured a bucket of water on me and the fire disappeared. I began to shiver the water was very cold. It felt like a knife was stabbing me. I grabbed a towel and ran out of the barn.  
       I hurtled to my mom's job. When I was running, I tripped on my neon shoelaces. I had a huge cut on my knee and I was bleeding. It looked like a bunch of red lines. You could hear the blood drop on the cold hard floor. Then the blood stopped dripping and the cut vanished. There wasn't even one mark on my knee. It was like magic. I couldn't believe it so, I continued running.

The Sea of Monsters

 In the Sea of Monsters, Percy wasn't allowed to go on a quest but, one of the gods, Hermes,  persuaded him to sneak out of the camp and go on the quest. Percy took his half brother Tyson, and his friend Annabeth, on the quest. During the quest, they saw Luke, the son of Hermes. Luke was a traitor because he thought his dad didn't love him so, he went on the titan's side. Percy needed to get the golden  fleece and bring it to camp half blood. To get the golden fleece, he had to go through the Sea of Monsters. On the quest, Percy had to rescue his bestfriend, Grover. Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, and Grover returned to camp with the golden fleece. The golden fleece brought Thalia, the daughter of Zeus, back to life. She was turned into a tree when she risked her life to save Luke and Annabeth but, the golden fleece made her alive again. All in all, Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, and Grover killed many monsters and brought the golden fleece to camp half blood.
