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.
