Hello Seventh Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring you to make three postings about your ORB to this blog. You must choose three different options from the "blogging options" handout (on First Class). I am looking for superb commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

Please, adhere to the expectations explained on the rubric (also on First Class).

Happy blogging!

The Lighting Thief - Explore Feelings

Gerald Bulloch
Explore Feelings

Near the end of the book, a frustrating and surprising scene appears unexpectedly that would WOW some of the readers. Percy Jackson, has just been betrayed by someone who he thought was his close friend. And Luke, the betrayer, was the villian behind the story the whole time. "Oh, I'm leaving, all right, Percy. I brought you down here to say good-bye" (364). Luke has just announced that he is betraying Percy and that he is intending to finish Percy off without anyone knowing. Percy trusted Luke because he was one of the few that actually accepted Percy as a friend. It was a real shock to Percy that Luke had betrayed him and that he was trying to kill him. It sets up a sequel for the first book, because Percy has just been betrayed by one of his only friends, and Percy wants revenge. It affects Percy becuase his whole quest, and all the pain he endured, was caused because of Luke.
