"The Lightning Thief" Prediction piece

Authors Note: I am going to be explaining my prediction for the book "The Lightning Thief"

Percy Jackson didn't think his life could get any harder. That was before he he got put on a quest to find the Greek God Zeus' master bolt. The main problem is the fact that Percy and his friends, Annabeth and Grover, need to get to the Underworld within 10 days. They have a lot of problems they will have to face. My prediction is that Hades, Zeus'brother, took the master bolt. 

I could see Hades taking the master bolt due to the fact that he would probably want to start a war. Hades would want to start a war to get revenge on his fellow gods for sending him to the underworld. The thing that makes me think this is when Percy Jackson got his prophecy. His prophecy said that he would fail to save what matters most. I think that it means the master bolt. Hades plays into this role considering he only gets to go to the home of the gods twice a year. This would make him anxious to steal the bolt.

While Hades want to start a war; there could also be another reason he would steal the bolt. That reason would be to help regain the Titan god, Kronos, from his death. He might do this to try and get power. I think that Hades might do this referring to the part when Percy had his weird dreams. In his dreams was a deep voice talking to someone next to him about destroying the gods. I think the person Kronos was talking to would be Hades due to to all my background information.

The prediction I made for the book '' The Lightning Thief'' is similar to the prediction I made in ''The Vipers Nest". The thing they have in common the most is the fact that both of them have someone who got accused of stealing something. For '' The Vipers Nest'' I predicted that one of the characters stole something from Dan, the main character. This is similar to my prediction that Hades stole the Master Bolt. 

My prediction that the Master Bolt was stolen by Hades was a good prediction due to all the background information. The main event which made me think Hades stole the master Bolt is when he got banished to the underworld. I had to figure that he would want revenge on his brothers for doing such a thing. My final conclusion about Hades would still have to be that he stole the master bolt.

Thomas from " The Scorch Trials"

In the story The Scorch Trials a boy named Thomas and a group of boys get put into the Scorch, a sizzling place in Mexico,  with a mission. Their mission is to get to the mountains on the other side of the scorch. The reward is the cure to the disease that they supposedly have. Thomas is an immense part of their survival in the mission. He may not be the leader, but he sure does solve a lot of their problems.

Thomas is a very brave boy who won't back down from a challenge. He isn't formally known as the leader of the group, but he sure does place a big impact on the other boys. During the book Minho, one of the boys, gets in a fight with someone they just met named Jorge. Thomas breaks it up so that he can discuss his problem with Jorge. Thomas is free willing to try and get as much help as he can get to get the cure. Overall Thomas’s attitude at the beginning of the book is outgoing and fun to be around.

While Thomas may be brave, nothing can conquer the fear of a gun. Thomas and his friend Brenda’s luck was running out. When they woke up from their rest in the city they were ambushed. One of attackers had a gun which made it practically impossible to escape. They were held for questioning in a secret underground. Before they could ask many questions Minho and the rest of the gang barged in to save them. Unfortunately  on the way out of the bunker the guy with the gun managed to shoot Thomas in the shoulder. After a few long moments of pain he blacked out. The last thing he saw was a hovercraft in the sky.

When he woke up he was laying on a table with lights all around him. He heard people talking about him. He heard things like “Should we have done that?” and “let’s hope it doesn’t affect the variables”. Thomas had to figure it was Wicked, the people who gave him the mission in the first place. He wasn’t very happy with them. They erased his memory and took his girlfriend Teresa away. He knew that he would have to get revenge on them. They had changed him from a fun outgoing person into a trustless boring person.

Thomas' personality is a lot like Katniss's from the hunger games. They are both very brave people with great personalities. One of their similar qualities are their hunting skills. They are both good athletes. One of the other things they have in common is the feeling of loss. Katniss lost her dad when he died in a mining accident. Although Thomas didn't exactly lose his dad, he just didn't know who his dad was due to the fact that Wicked erased his memory. The last thing the two have in common is their great leadership. Their leadership skills include organization, bravery, and responsibility. Overall these characters are similar in a lot of ways.

The Scorch has a lot of problems for Thomas and the rest of the group to conquer. These events have defiantly changed Thomas. Thomas shouldn’t have had to take a bullet just for Wicked to gather information about people. Wicked is a gruesome company who shouldn’t exist. They changed an innocent boy from a good person to someone who couldn’t even trust his girlfriend. Overall Wicked needs to be destroyed so Thomas can get back to his normal state.
