How's your reading going? Well, I've done a lot of reading these past few days, and I'm very close to the end of this book already. I guess when you read a lot, time just flies by! Anyways, today I'm going to talk to you about the Characters in my book as I've read so far, and hopefully you can make connections with our characters, or just enjoy reading about them. So, lets begin.
Jason Grace. Where do I even begin? Well, lets start at the beginning of the book. At the beginning, he is a rather complicated individual, but I don't blame him for that. Why? Well, lets just say that its hard to be yourself when you don't remember anything about your past. That's right, Jason remembers nothing about his past. This leads him to being confused, untrusting, cautious, and even a bit depressed in the beginning. But don't worry, it gets better! So far anyway... But, as of now he has revealed that he is actually a very strong and brave leader, as he leads his friends on a quest to save Hera/Juno. Not to mention, that he is also very caring for his friends, even though he never actually knew them before hand.
Next up is Piper McLean! In the beginning, Piper comes across as a tomboyish, frustrated, confused, yet caring girl. I think all of this is the fact that she and Leo are confused about why Jason can't remember anything and she really hates it when she finds out that the girly-girl goddess Aphrodite (Goddess of love) is her mother. Boy, are they very different from each other. But later, she actually seems like a powerful, confident, loving teen. And seems to really care for people in general.
And finally, we have Leo Valdez! At the start, Leo comes across as that annoying third-wheel, who is always hyper, and seems unfunny and dorky. Yes, I admit that even though Leo is supposed to be an amazing character all the time, I really disliked him at first. However, as the book went on he kind of grew on me. Especially when more character development occurred and I found out more about his personality. Because as the book went on, he turned out to actually be an awesome guy! He was selfless, clever, actually funny, and he was also very protective of his friends.
Together, these characters provide an interesting link to the plot and make the story a really awesome read. So, do any of your characters remind you of these characters? Think about it! Anyways, thanks for reading my post and enjoy your reading too!
I really like how you write your blogs, nice use of voice. :) I'll have to look more into this book!
ReplyDeleteI loved how you organized this post! The way you described each caracter in a step-by-step manner really helped me digest all this information (even though I've read this book before. :P). Another thing that I like about your blog is that you don't just describe the characters. You also told us how *you* felt about the characters. For example, you said that you didn't really like Lea at first, but he eventually grew on you. :D
ReplyDeleteAhhh!!! I meant Leo!
