The Lightning Thief Prediction

The book The Lightning Thief is about a 12 year old boy named Percy Jackson. Percy isn't a normal human being, because his dad is a Greek god. As soon as Percy figures out about this, his life begins to change. He gets run down by a minotaur in his first day knowing that he is a half blood. Then after defeating the minotaur, he runs straight into Camp Half Blood which is were all of the half bloods live and train. This book follows a comedy plotline, because Percy's world is not in peril or distraught, and is not perfect either. At this point in the story it is hard to tell exactly what will happen to Percy, seeing as he does not know his godly parent yet, and has not proven himself to be good at anything at the Camp. I think that when Percy does find out who his godly parent is, that he will become a very powerful half blood. I also think that when he finds who his godly parent is, that he will find himself in the world and realize his purpose. Also I think that by the end of the book, he will solve the main conflict, which is that Zeus's lightning bolt has been stolen. Since the book follows a comedy plotline, something good will happen at the end of the book. I think that this is why Percy will solve the main conflict. Percy from this book can be related to the main character Matt from the book Gone. They have many differences, but they are both looking for their purpose in the world, and they both have a dad they have never seen before. They also both have to solve a huge problem that could make or break the world.
