PERCY JACKSON AND THE LAST OLYMPIAN by RICK RIORDAN
Moral Value :
The novel that I have read is " Percy Jackson and The Last Olympian " by Rick Riordan . This is the Fifth book of the Percy Jackson series . This story is about Percy Jackson , a demigod ( half human , half god ) and he is the son of Poseidon , son of the sea god.
One of the moral values that showed in this novel is courageous . According to the ancient prophecy , bad things will happen to Percy when he turn to sixteen because his the one who gets to decide the fate of the entire world . After Luke(son of Hermes, god of the messengers) given his body to the Kronos , Kronos success to gain his power again and try to attack the Council of Olympus .Once Percy learns that Kronos’s force are preparing to attack Olympus , he determine to stop he no matter use what kind of method . Thought he know it is very dangerous and it may destroy or burn away his soul , he still baths in the River Styx, making his body invulnerable except one small chosen part of his body . His courages action make he become invulnerable yet he get a stronger power to fight with Kronos .
Team work also another moral value that can found in this novel . Kronos lead a siege of New York City and puts it citizens to sleep and in the meantime he release a monster name Typhon from Tartarus . Typhon is largest and the most fearsome of all the features . All the gods were buz y to fight Typhon and try to slow his steps to the New York City and even Poseidon has his own war in the ocean . Percy leads the Campers in Camp Half blood(demigod) , Hunters , nature spirits such as satyr and nymphs and centaur to protect Mount Olympus from Kronos and his forces. They divide their job equally and they runs their own duty . Although its just can hold on Kronos and his forces a while but its gave Percy time to prepare everything in the empire of building that is the entrance of the Mount of Olympus . So heres explain that team work is very important in your life because you cant probably done a things without help .
Next is Make a right choice . As I mention earlier that Percy will have to gets decide the fate of the entire world whether the Olympus to preserve or raze . Kronos , processing Luke’s body , forces his way into the Olympus and have battle with Percy . Annabeth , daughter of Athena(god of the wisdom) had success to convince Luke to destroy Kronos . Luke is able the overcome Kronos . Percy decide to give Luke Annabeth’s blade and Luke stabs himself in his mortal point (as Luke also was invulnerable from bathing in the river styx) to temporary destroy Kronos and save the Olympus . He make a right choice that give the blade to Luke and he save the entire Olympus .
In conclusion , we can learn a lot of things in this book . You will get interest of Greek mythology after reading this series . I highly recommend this Percy Jackson Series and you will still want it to continue to the next series ,that is The Heroes of the Olympus .
