Question1:9. What is confusing in this book? Why? (Be specific)
I chose this book because I usually chose books that have action and I was tired of reading those books. I decided to chose something out of the genre I usually pick. I feel like this book will be interesting because I like action books and I also thought it would be a challenge. Right know Percy was very confused with his life because his math teacher turned into a monster with leather wings and long talons. He was on vacation with his mom and his friends shows up with no paints, and he was half a goat. I'm sort of interested in the book and I want to read more. The only thing that I think I'm afraid of is how many pages that there are to read.

Question2:8. What do you think about a particular character's actions? Was he/she right or wrong to do that?
The character tends to make excuses for himself a lot because he is dyslexic and has ADD and ADHD. He makes a lot of mistakes and he feels really bad. I feel like Percy and I are have something in common we are both confused. I thought that Percy was a nobody and it turns out he so important that people want to kill him.
