Book Blog 5 (Themes in "The Lost Hero")

Hello fellow readers!
Is that time to post again huh? Well, today I'm posting about theme to go with me finishing "The Lost Hero" by Rick Riordan. Well, lets get started!

So again, as I already mentioned, my post will be about theme. Now for my book,
There is a definite since of friendship and good vs evil, as well as missing loved ones, and since these are so broad the theme could be anything. However , if you narrow down that thought and really look at the book closely you can find two main themes.

The first theme is; A group can overcome anything if they work together as one.

My support for this is, ""An exchange goes two ways," Jason said. "When I got here, my memory was wiped. I didn't know who I was or where I belonged. Fortunately, you guys took me in and I found a new home. I know you're not my enemy."" (Riordan, 552)

Which helps support it because Jason is basically  saying after they completed the quest, he finally felt happy and like he belonged at his new home and that without Piper and  Leo he would never have been able to succeed or be happy again.

The second theme is;  Friends will always be there  for you if you are there for them.

Support for this is, "Leo nodded. "No kidding. You've been carrying this around for a week? Piper, we could help you." She glared at them. "Why don't you yell at me or something? I was ordered to kill you!" "Aw, come on," Jason said. "You've saved us both on this quest. I'd put my life in yout hands anyday."" (Riordan, 372)

Which shows support because Piper says that her dad is in trouble and that she couldn't tell her friends because she would have to betray them. However, Leo and Jason say that they trust her and because she saved them, they would help her and be there for her since she was there for them.

So, thats my second post for this week.  I hope you all enjoyed. Remember to keep reading!
