PROMPT:
How do Percy’s experiences in Chapter 7 align with the hero’s journey? After reading an excerpt from Chapter 7 of The Lightning Thief and “The Hero’s Journey,” write a constructed response that begins with a short summary of Chapter 7. Then focus on one experience in The Lightning Thief and show how Percy’s experience aligns to a stage in “The Hero’s Journey.” Conclude by describing what we can learn about Percy as a hero from his response to a challenge he faces. Use evidence from both texts to support your response.

After the bathroom incident with Clarisse, Annabeth continues to show Percy around Camp Half­Blood. Percy encounters many things he's never seen before. Chapter 7 of "The Lightning Thief" shows how Percy's experiences align with the hero's journey. As they walk thru the camp, Percy sees a "climbing wall, which consisted of two facing walls that shook violently, dropped boulders, sprayed lava, and clashed together". This quote tells the reader that Percy has experienced something new and unknown. In the text "The Hero's Journey" it says, "Heroes enter a world they have never experienced before". 4Day Four.notebook
