In The Sea Of Monsters, by Rick Riordan a boy named Percy Jackson is a demi god that the immortal world depends on. His camp that he stays at over summer to train for his fighting skills and everything else, is slowly weakening because the tree that holds up the magical borders has been poisoned. So they set out on a quest to go get the golden fleece because it has powers that can cure anything. Beside that, they have to go rescue his friend Grover because he was out on a quest and he was captured by a cyclops. That cyclops is also the same cyclops who holds the golden fleece.
The theme of the story would probably be courage and friendship. It took a lot of courage for Percy to go set out on this quest because it wasn't his quest. Also because he wasn't allowed to leave the camp or else he would be kicked out of the camp forever and he broke the rules and went for his friend and the fleece. The theme would also be friendship because Percy cares that much about his friend that he would go after him and save him, even though it puts his life at risk too.
The authors tone in the story is sounding like he wants Percy to be mad most of the time. He's always getting into trouble at school even though its not always his fault. His actions also show how angry he can get at times to. "Strength coursed through my body. I raised my sword and attacked, forgetting that I was hopelessly outmatched." This line shows how a cyclops got Percy mad and he used all his rage to fight the monster and beat him almost to a pulp.
The author uses a lot imagery that helped me understand the surroundings around the characters. "In the meadow at the base of the ravine, several dozen sheep were milling around. They looked peaceful enough, but they were huge-the size of hippos"(Riordan, 202). In this quote he was describing a little bit about the island and the animals that lived there. "Standing right next to me was a guy in nylon running shorts and a New York City Marathon T-shirt. He was slim and fit, with salt-and-pepper hair and a sly smile" (Riordan,98). In this quote he is describing a runner that he saw while he was out at night at the beach and he came running by. The author uses a good amount of illustration to help me paint pictures in my head and understand the surrounding and the characters better.
