Percy Jackson Character Analysis
The choice at the crossroads
In Rick Riordan’s novel *The Lightning Thief*, Percy Jackson discovers that Greek gods and monsters are real and that he is the son of Poseidon. His mother, Sally, has been taken by a monster. Percy is told that he must travel to the Underworld to retrieve a stolen lightning bolt, and he hopes he may also find his mother there. The gods’ world seems full of prophecies, rivalries and rules that Percy did not choose. Yet he decides to go on the dangerous quest. Along the way, he relies on his friends Annabeth and Grover, faces monsters and learns more about the conflict among the gods. When he reaches the Underworld, Percy is able to leave with his mother. He later returns the bolt to Zeus, helping to prevent a war between the gods.
