Reading log week 5

1 hour   The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan    pgs. 118- 163
Details: Before Percy, Frank, and Hazel start off on their quest, Reyna has a talk with Percy, and gave him tips for the quest. She tells him about how she knew him before.
            "But at the door of principia, Percy couldn't resist turning. "How did we destroy your home, the spa where you live?
              The metal greyhounds growled. Reynna snapped her fingers to silence them.
              "You destroyed the power of our mistress," she said. "You freed some prisoners who took revenge on all of us who lived on the island. My sister and I...well, we survived. It was difficult. But in the long run, I think we are better off away from that place."
           This quote shows that Reyna knew Percy from before. Even though Percy lost his memory, he was still able to learn more about his past in order to gain more knowledge of who he is.

Different Perspectives: What the Roman demigods were taught was that cyclops and centaurs were all bad, but to Percy, he knew deep within that this wasn't true.
              "Centaurs," Percy said. "But ...that's not right. Centaurs and good guys."
               Frank made a choking sound. "  That's not what we were taught at camp. Centaurs are crazy, always getting drunk and killing heroes."
               Percy is confused, because he knew in his past that he was friends with centaurs and cyclopses, so he was confused about the fact that the Romans were taught that centaurs and cyclopses were bad.
