5th) pERcY JaCksON

Have anyone read percy jackson? While, someone gived me the first book of percy jackson which was percy jackson and the lightning thief.i randomly flipped through the book and realised that it is about greek mythology. Gods like zeus, hades and poisedon give birth with mortals to demigods.While, percy jackson, the main character is the son of Poisedon(the sea god), thalia is the daughter of zeus(you should know this one), annabeth is the daughter of athena(goddess of wisdom).While, they all have special powers.Percy could heal when their is water and he could control the sea, thalia cna summon lightning and annabeth is very smart.immediately i got addicted and started buying percy jackson because the description and battles and monsters is very real, reading it is like experienceing it yourself.I was wondering the other day, will you like to be a demigod?
Being a demigod have its pros and cons, you can undergo a lot more than mortals, you have special powers and no one can bully you at school. You can summon up waves and swim extra-ordinary fast during swimming test if you are a son of poisedon , excel in you academics and get full mark for IQ test if you are the son of Athena, strike anyone who aggitate you with a bolt of lightning, if you are a son of zeus,etc,etc.There are alot of advantages.
But on the other hand, you would be chased by monster.If you go to school and the monster follow you, you kill it and cause a mess, the teacher willk suspend you from school.Like in the first book, percy's math teacher is a monster and attacked him. He killed the teacher and cause a mess and got suspended. In the second book, giants went to his school to hunt him, he killed them and set the whole school on fire. Ordinary people could not see the monster and how you fought with them, if the building is on fire, the only suspect is--you.Titans and monsters will hunt for you even when you are sleeping.
I was wondering this question for quite a long time, my final conclusion is that i dont want to be a demigod, i felt that ordinary life is already very stressful for me and if i were to fight monsters and save the world, what if i fail, all the blame would be casted on me like how it was casted on germany in the treaty of versailles.haha, it might be a little lame but please ponder over this question and write it down in the comment box.
