Theme
The book I am reading right now is the Mark of Athena.
In Mark of Athena the theme being depicted throughout the book
is that team work can go a long way when you are face with troubling challenges.
In my book the main characters have overcome many challenges some even life and
death. “On the deck if the Argo II, Percy and Jason stood
together, their swords crossed. Annabeth got a tingle down her spine as she
realized the boys were working as one, summoning the sky and sea to do their
bidding. Water and wind churned together. Waves heaved against the ramparts and
lightning flashed. Giant eagles were knocked out of the sky. Wreckage of the
flying chariot burned in the water, and Coach Hedge swung a mounted crossbow,
taking potshots at the Roman birds as they flew overhead”. (Riordan 253) From
this quote we can see that when Percy and Jason were working as one to defeat
the Roman legion they realized that with their combined power they could work
together to overcome their challenge.
Another great example that team work can go a long way when you
are faced with troubling challenges would be “Jason! She yelled. Thank the gods
he understood. A gust of wind caught her and carried her safely over the bank.
Piper hit the ground rolling as the hairs on her neck stood up. A metallic
smell filled the air. She turned toward the river in time to be blinded BOOM!
Lightning stirred the water into a boiling cauldron, steaming and hissing with
electricity. Piper blinked the yellow spots out of her eyes as the god Achelous
wailed and dissolved beneath the surface. His horrified expression seemed to be
asking: How could you? Jason, run! She was still dizzy and sick with
fear, but she and Jason crashed through the woods. As she climbed the hill,
clasping the bull’s horn to her chest, Piper realized she was sobbing-though
she wasn’t sure if it was from fear, or relief, or shame for what she’d done to
the old river god.” (Riordan 346-347) So from quote we can see that Piper and
Jason both helped each other to escape the wrath of the river god Achelous so
they can get his Capricorn.
And a third example would be “the machine tumbled down the stairs,
and Leo forced them to jitterbug like 1920’s flappers. Their joints began
smoking. The other spheres around the room began to pop. Too much energy was
surging through the ancient system. The control sphere in Leo’s hand grew
uncomfortably warm. Frank, Hazel! Leo shouted. Take cover! His friends were
still dazed, staring in amazement at the jitterbugs metal guys, but they got
the warning. Frank pulled Hazel under the nearest table and shielded her with
his body!” (Riordan 467) From this analysis of the quote we can see that if Leo
hadn't saved their friends from the armored warriors they would of have been
killed.
