Character Development

By: Zach Maderski

  I am going to tell you about a kid named Percy Jackson. He starts out as an average kid with a normal life with a few problems that most kids don’t have. Over the years at Camp-Half Blood, he becomes smarter, a better fighter, makes lots of friends, and becomes one of the biggest heroes that ever lived.

                                   

  Percy’s life had been very hard because his dad left them (Percy and his Mom) when he was very little and never got to meet him. His mom married a guy named Gabe. Gabe is really mean and treats his mom like a slave. Percy always asked his mom why she married a guy like him. Percy and Gabe never get along well because Percy would stand up for his mom and yell at Gabe to stop acting so mean to his mom.

   Percy had a hard time at school mostly because he has ADHD so it’s hard for him to read. He didn’t have many friends because he was shy and almost a loner but, he did have his best friend Grover who he knew for a long time. Also weird things always happen to him, like once his teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him and once two cheerleaders turned into monsters and tried to kill him too.

  Percy basically has two homes . One of his homes is Camp-Half Blood and the other is his old home which is the one he doesn’t go to anymore. Camp-Half Blood was for demigods like him where you learn to fight and protect yourself from monsters. Percy makes lots of friends there and becomes a great fighter. He influenced lots of the other campers throughout the book to never give up and to try their hardest.

  Percy does lots of things besides school. He trains very hard almost every day at camp and almost once a year he will go on dangerous quests to fight monsters or to save someone or something. Percy’s god life is hard because he is the son of Poseidon so he is a big target for monsters. Poseidon is one of the top three gods. When Percy turns 16 he can chose whether or not he wants to be immortal and be a god or stay the way he is. Percy decides to remain the way he is because his relationship with would change greatly. The gods were upset that Percy turned their offer down because they feel that humans think that they don’t need the gods anymore.

  Percy changed a lot from the time he was a regular kid to when he found out he was a demigod. He went from a kid that didn’t have many friends and had trouble with a lot things, like school and getting along with his dad, to a kid that was a leader and almost everybody knew. Also he saved the world, defeated titans, and became a hero to the demigods and the gods.

  Hey you guys I think that you did a wonderful job starting up this country. Mostly everybody is doing good in their life or have jobs. Although you did a great job I think that there could be some things that you could have changed or rules you should have made.

  Some things that I think you have changed are how to make a law. I think that you should let the people vote on whether or not you should have a certain law so it is fair for most of the people. I also think that you should make a law on how kids act in school. I mean I came from an elementary school were everybody was respectful to the teachers and to the other kids. Then when I went into middle school kids were sleeping in class and talking back to teachers and bullying and they get detention and when that is over they just do it again. So I think that you should have made a law about school behavior.

  I would now like to tell you some of the things that I think that you did well. I think that one of the best things that you did was let us have freedom. I mean if we didn’t have freedom then we would really be struggling with life. I also think that you did a great job with the constitution. I mean it is the frame work of the entire country, we basically live by it and it works for us though.

  There are some things that I would like to ask you. Where did you get the idea of having a president? How long did it take you to write the constitution? Were there any problems when you finished the constitution? Those are some of the questions that I would like to ask you.

  These are some of the things that I wanted to tell you and I really wish that you can answer my questions but your dead. If there was one thing that I would say to you face to face is that you did a great job founding this country.
