what message does 'Percy Jackson and the lighting thief' image convey?
Answers
I'd say it gives kids the message that believing in yourself, no matter who you are, is vital; after all if you can't believe in yourself then no one else can. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is a terrific tale of friendship and heroism!
When the threat of war occurs, people take sides, and an honorable hero will have to show loyalty to the side he supports. The Lightning Thief takes this loyalty theme and pushes it further—Percy shows loyalty not only to his father Poseidon, but also to his friends, to Chiron, and to his mother.
Answer:
Friendship is a central theme in The Lightning Thief because Percy would never have succeeded in his quest without his friends’ help. Over and over, Annabeth and Grover used their quick thinking and cleverness to solve problems, ranging from the fight with Medusa to the trap at the abandoned amusement park, to the challenges they encountered in the underworld. Friendship was key to Percy’s success, true proof that no hero can make it on his own. Any story of the Greek gods is fraught with loyalty struggles, and this one, despite being set in modern times, is no exception. When the threat of war occurs, people take sides, and an honourable hero will have to show loyalty to the side he supports. The Lightning Thief takes this loyalty theme and pushes it further—Percy shows loyalty not only to his father Poseidon, but also to his friends, to Chiron, and his mother.
Percy has struggled with the idea of the family since birth. Having never known his father, the only parental figure in his life was his mother, whom he loved very much—however, this made it harder for him to watch her get abused by Gabe, a man who was supposed to be a father figure in his life. At the end of the story, Percy meets his real father. He does not feel a familial connection to him, but he does feel happy at the idea that his father is proud of him. Percy learns at the close of the novel that family can extend beyond blood ties when he feels a strong kinship with many of the other half-bloods and people who have helped him along his quest.
