The Son of Neptune (Again)

          I am still reading The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. More has developed in the book since my last blog. Frank now trusts Hazel much more than before, he literally trusts her with his life. Percy is remembering a little more of his past as he dreams and meets more people. Also Hazel is free of her black outs because of Frank.

           Frank has literally given Hazel his life. His life stick, a stick that if burned up will end his life, is now in the possession of Hazel, he trust her that much. This shows a growth in Frank as to where he is more trusting of his friends and would risk (or give) his life for them. He gives his life to Hazel, not only by trust, but because the god Iris told him to give it to someone he trusted so that they would keep it safe.

         Percy is slowly regaining his memories of his past as he meets more people on his journey like Phineas and Iris. They keep giving little hints to his past even though they could just tell him what his past was like. In his dreams, he sees what is going on with his other friends and Jason, Leo, and Piper. His memory also just randomly comes back sometimes.

        Hazel has stopped having her blackouts into the past because if Frank coming into one with her and having her tell her past to him. This also required trust because she let out some deep secretes talking to Frank and she might not want certain people to know. She only trusted Frank enough to tell him and only him, she didn't trust Percy enough, she didn't even trust her own brother enough to tell him.

  1. nice... but a little confusing. "Hazel has stopped having her blackouts into the past because if Frank coming into one with her and having her tell her past to him." What does that mean? also this is just a summary. 3/5

  2. Hm, I feel like you could have put more thought into this response. I also agree with Jake about how this post is a tad bit confusing. I think you were off to a great start, but I think you just needed to connect/add in you thinking in this post. I mean like why does it matter if Percy remembers what happened in his life? Why do these blackouts matter?
