CHARACTER VS CHARACTER: In this book Percy is on a quest looking for the master bolt, to return to Zeus. Percy doesn't know it until the end of his quest, but his conflict is against Ares. Ares is throwing problems at Percy the whole time, making it more difficult for Percy. In the book it says " You were there, I insisted. You gave me the backpack. You put the bolt in the backpack."

POINT OF VIEW: In my book Percy is telling the story in 1st person p.o.v . I know this because on page 229 it says "After that I must have fainted, or fallen into a trance, because when I opened my eyes, Ares was gone." In these sentences, we are in Percy's head so that makes the book in 1st person p.o.v.

PROTAGONIST: The PROTAGONIST of my book is Percy Jackson himself. Percy is a black haired boy with sea green eyes. He recently found out that his dad is Poseidon and was accused of stealing Zeus's lightning bot. So him and his friends are on a quest to steel back the bolt,and are hitting many challenges. Percy is a sarcastic and funny boy but can also be sentimental.

SETTING: My book takes place in NYC. Before Percy finds out that he is a half blood he lives in the city. When he later finds out that his is a demi God he starts to live in the country side of NYC. he lives in a big house also known as camp half blood. Percy is about to go on a quest to the "UNDERWORLD" and he is leaving in the morning/mid day.

I think that the book I'm reading is both historical and fantasy fiction. Even though this book talks about the Greek gods it still has stuff in it that is clearly fake. The Greek gods are something that we learn about in 6th grade social studies, so I think that it is qualified to be under the historical fiction genre. The book has stuff that didn't happen in real life, that makes it historical fiction.
