===<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">In chapter two, Percy witnesses the Three Fates snip someone’s thread of life. Grover warns him that this means someone – possibly Percy himself – is going to die. And yet, do we know whose life thread that was? What do you think that scene foretells? Is it symbolic of Percy’s “death” as a regular kid becoming a demigod? Does it represent Gabe’s death? Given that //Percy Jackson and the Olympians// is a series, is it possible this death is yet-to-come at the end of //The Lightning Thief?// ===

===<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Percy is named after the great hero Perseus. Yet the original Perseus was the son of Zeus, while Percy is the son of Poseidon. This is not explained in //The Lightning Thief,// but why do you think Sally Jackson chose that name for her son? Theseus might have been a more appropriate choice, since he is the most famous son of Poseidon. Hint: Read the stories of the great heroes like Perseus and Theseus, especially how their lives ended. Think about what Poseidon says to his son in Ch. 21: “A hero’s fate is never happy. It is never anything but tragic.” ===
