Literary Analysis #2

1. In the fiction book The Titans Curse by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson sets out on another adventure to help save the world. His friend Grover was out on an adventure and he discovered two new demigods. They were brother and sister and they have been surviving all alone all by themselves until Grover found them. Percy has to go and rescue them and at the same time he is falling into a trap. The Titan Lord Kronos is making a devious plan to rise again and he is using Percy and his friends to help him.

2. The theme of this story is never give up. The author most likely wrote about this theme to show that everyone goes through thick and thin but you should never give up hope.

3. I chose this book because I’ve been wanting to finish the series but I never really got around to it. The books are really interesting and I only have two more to go.

4. This book isn’t really realistic because there are gods and they give their children powers. I made a connection with the two new demigods because there is an older sister and a younger brother, and the sister looked out for her brother and they grew up mainly with each other just like my sister and I.

5. The authors tone in this book is pretty serious but they also crack jokes quite a lot. He tends to joke around whenever he is starting to get into a fight or after he finished a fight.

6. Foreshadowing- “And before anyone could react, the monster, with Annabeth still on his bacl, leaped over the cliff and tumbled into the darkness” (pg. 26). Onomatopoeia- “There was a snap-snap-snap from the helicopter-the sound of gunfire” (pg. 27). Foreshadowing  “But still, it’s weird, you having a nightmare the same night as Zoe. It’s almost like-“(pg. 77).

1. “And don’t call me boss!” (pg. 110) “Hi, I said. Uh what’s up?” (pg. 79) “Such gratitude. He muttered.

“(pg. 239). “I wish she was here, I said” (pg. 206). Rick Riordan uses both approaches because there is some things that one character is trying to say but he doesn’t want them to be speaking to one but many characters.

Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse

In Ali Khan's non-fiction article entitled Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse, he argues that you should prepare for a zombie apocalypse and a real emergency. 

The author supports his claim by including information about setting up an emergency kit. It's said that you should include water, food, medication, tools and supplies, sanitation/hygiene, clothing & bedding, and important documents, and first aid supplies. These are the essential things that you would need to have with you if there was an outbreak or if there was an emergency. They will help you to survive in these types of situations.

The author next proceeds to show that you should always have an emergency plan in these types of situations. You should have two places to meet up with your family, one that is near your home and one that is further away. The emergency plan should also have emergency contacts that are both local and out of state just in case something bad happens. The emergency plan should also include a plan for an escape route out of the city if its needs to be evacuated. 

Finally, the author argues that you should be prepared for a zombie apocalypse because the CDC will be there to assist people. They will do their best to investigate the disease. They will also assist cities, states, and international partners. They will do a lot of lab testing and analysis and try their best to determine the cause of illness. They will also send federal agencies and send medical teams to help people who are in the affected areas.
