Theme #1

• Sometimes it takes one small heroic deed do something big.
• Quote: " Percy,  Beckendorf chose a heroic death. You bear no
• blame for that." Pg. 39
• This quote is showing that Beckendorf sacrificed his life for the sake
• of others and he put the lives of others above his, and that is heroic.

• Just because others don't respect you, doesn't mean you should disrespect
• them as well. Forget about the past and hold on to the future.

• that Hades is holding the gods to things they did in the past.

• things to light our path.

• to say." Pg. 303. Explanation: This explains that even though many 
• brave heroes were lost, there are still positive things to say.

Overall theme

• "Believe you can, and you are half way there."
• - Theodore Roosevelt
• "Expect problems and eat them for breakfast."
• Believing in yourself is the first step to greatness.
• - Esther Launstein

point of view

• In this book the author is telling the story as first person limited.
• Quote: " I hoped that meant "sure I  do"! And not, "do you have more 
• hotdogs"?" Pg. 166. I think this author is bias against people who believe
• they are better than others, such as Kronos. Quote: " Come, bow before 
• me." Pg.20. This shows Kronos thinking hes better than everyone.

The author is trying to entertain.

Summary

• Who: Percy and all of the heroes from camp,
• and Kronos' army. What:They are all fighting
• to either defend or destroy Olympus.Where:
• New York City mostly.When: Present time
• Why: To save Olympus and the Gods.

Summary

• Quote for setting: " I love New York. You can pop 
• out of the Underworld in Central Park, hail a taxi, head 
• down Fifth Avenue with a giant hellhound loping along
• behind you, and nobody even looks at you funny."Pg.141
• This "summarizes" and " interprets" the main setting. 

Summary

• In this suspenseful thriller, Percy and all his friends from camp are in 
• danger as well as all of the world. As Percy and his friends fight for 
• their life in the battle of the last Olympian against Kronos and his army 
• of monsters and backstabbing traitors from camp, they find its the small
• things that make a big difference.

Also it "illustrates" New York.

Concluding slide

• I recommend this book if you like humor and action.
• Other books in the series: The Lightning Thief, The Sea of 
• Monsters, The Titans Curse, and The Battle of the Labyrinth.
• This book has not been made into a film and even if it was 
• a film, it would be misleading and wrong. :)
