Today I read 100 Most Indestructible Things On The Planet. My favorite indestructible structure was Graphene . Like diamond,Graphene is made of the element Carbon,but it’s a different shape.It is made off incredibly thin layers[about one millionth of the width of a humans hair]because it is only one single atom thick.It’s so thin that scientists only managed to collect and study it close up as recently as 2004 .Graphene is the strongest materiel ever discovered.It’s about 200 times stronger than steel.If I had to rate this from 1 to 5,I would rate it a 6.
Hermes is Luke’s father. He wants Percy to take the quest even though it might cost him banishment from Camp Half Blood. I knew he was going to take the quest, but I didn’t know how that was going to happen. I also figured that Tyson and Annebeth would join him somehow. I was hoping that he would go to sleep, however, so that Grover could communicate with him. Hermes had other designs.
The two snakes that we attached to Hermes’s phone were rather annoying. It was supposed to be a cute, but I didn’t care for it much. I just wanted Hermes to persuade Percy to take the challenge of the quest and to give him a few gifts. He got some Flintstone Cyclop vitamins and a lunch box that can unleash the four winds. I wonder when he will use it.
Now Annebeth, Tyson, and Percy are on this cruise ship called the Princess Andromeda. Doesn’t Andromeda have some snakes or something with her. I need to look up more information about that. They are moving to the Sea of Monsters, so I am sure it will all fit together. I am also sure that I will figure out how it fits in due time.
This is what I found on Wikipedia about Andromeda: Andromeda is stripped and chained naked to a rock as a sacrifice to sate the monster, but is saved from death by Perseus. I find it interesting that Perseus rescues her, and it is Perseus (Percy Jackson) that has goes aboard the Princess Andromeda to escape the harpies. It is also very interesting that Percy seems to be stargazing near the beach when Hermes approaches him. Percy enjoys looking at Hercules in the sky and the lunchbox has Hercules on it. Not coincidence. Rick Riordan is intentional with every detail of this series. That is why I always go back to reread certain paragraphs, so that I don’t lose any detail. All of them fit together.
So far, so good! Just like the first book in the Olympians Series, this book does not disappoint. I recommend it to anyone.
This is the book that I am currently reading. If you like adventure and the greek god myths, then you will love this book.
