    In Hero’s Journey there are many stages one of them were confronting the father, this reminds me of Percy Jackson’s experience because he finds out his father for the first time. “My father? I asked, completely bewildered “Poseidon” said Chiron” (126) and in confronting the father “In many myths and stories this is the father,or a father figure who has life and death power”. The two quotes are aligned because Percy never knew his father and now he does and in Hero’s Journey it says that a hero meets a dad who has life and death power. That is why I think those two quotes align together.

    Throughout “The Lightning Thief” by Rick Riordan, the main character Percy Jackson grows in many ways. Through application of Joseph Campbell’s Hero Cycle, Percy’s development as a leader over the course of “The Lightning Thief” can be analyzed (Campbell). Percy is born into the hero’s cycle at his natural birth and his call to adventure is the attack by Mrs. Dodds. Percy crosses the threshold, when he leaves Montauk with his mother and Grover and the first trial testing his leadership is on the bus with the furies. Trials exemplifying Percy’s growth include: the furies, Medusa, the Saint Louis Arch, the “Waterland” Waterpark, the Lotus Hotel, Crusty’s Waterbed Palace, and Hades and the Underworld.
