MY FAVOURITE MOVIE…
BY TRISHA FIZA SAINI

My favorite movie is Percy Jackson: The Sea
of Monsters. It is the second movie in the
Percy Jackson series. The series is based on
the books by Rick Riordan. I like this movie
as it is very thrilling and adventurous. My
favorite character is Percy Jackson, the
hero.

Percy is shown to be in the second year at
'Camp Half-Blood', in this movie. This is a
place where mortal off-springs (demigod) of
the Greek Gods are trained. They train to
fight monsters that are constantly
attacking them. Since Percy is the mortal
off-spring of Poseidon, one of the three
main Gods in Greek Mythology. Albeit
mortal, but the fact that Percy is the son
of Poseidon, makes him a very powerful
demigod.

In this sequel, 'Thalia's tree' (which creates
a magic force field to protect the camp
from monsters) is poisoned. The force field
is destroyed and there is only one thing
that can save it, the Golden Fleece. Percy's
camp mate and nemesis, Clarisse, is assigned to get the fleece from the dangerous Sea of Monsters.
Percy also decides to find it with two of his friends, Grover and Annabeth; and half-brother, Tyson.
During the adventure Grover is captured by their enemy, Luke. Luke needs the fleece to resurrect
the evil Titan Lord Kronos; and forces Grover to find the fleece. Ultimately, Percy teams up with
Clarisse and destroys the enemy, gets the fleece, and saves the camp.

This movie is not only interesting, it has taught me a few things as well. I learnt that sometimes you
need to take risks to save the people you love and care about. Percy Jackson went to the Sea of
Monsters even though he knew that most demigods hadn’t returned. He did this because he knew that
if he survived he would be able to save the camp. Another important thing I learnt is teamwork.
Individually, both Clarisse and Percy were unable to defeat the enemy, Luke. But when they teamed
up, they were able to defeat Luke and get the Golden Fleece back to camp. Now I know that
sometimes you have to team up to win, even if it is with your nemesis.
