P: Phenomenal. Percy never ceases to amaze people with his incredible luck and talent. During his fight with Hyperion; he creates a hurricane to cool out the monsters fire and harnesses great power. No matter what adventure or task he sets his eyes on; he always prevails. He is the one who sticks out in the crowd and does what no one else can do.
E: Enthusiastic. Percy is always excited for things and takes part in them too. He does more than just take part; he even takes charge of things. An example of this is when he becomes; basically the general of the Half bloods and defends the empire state building from the monsters. Throughout the book he is a great leader because of his enthusiasm and he gives everyone else a reason to take part in things, which later on in the book his enthusiasm and need for Clarisse and the Ares cabin encourages/causes them to come and help.
R: Remarkable. Percy is remarkable because of the things he does. When he saved Mount Olympus from burning down to the ground, the gods offered to give him gifts because of the remarkable things he did. He is also remarkable because he is one of the few sons of Poseidon.
C: Commander: Percy is a commander and a leader. The other half bloods did not just pick him to lead their armies against Kronos. The campers naturally followed Percy. He was a natural leader because of his ideas; because he had a plan; because he enforced it; because the other half bloods naturally followed him. Percy had the qualities and during kronos’s attack he became the leader.
Y: Youthful. Percy Jackson is very young and after seeing him do all these remarkable things you start to get the prospective that a kid his age could never do that. His youth in this book is his enemy because things are threatening, like Kronos and Luke, that are much bigger, stronger, older, and wiser than he is.
J: Just. Percy was just when he turned down being a God. It was the right thing to do, to return the favor from Annabeth. It was the just thing to do when Percy had the chance to kill Ethan, an evil half-blood, but he let him survive.
A: Ambitious. Through out the book Percy was always striving to defeat his enemies. He is a hard worker and is eager throughout the book to complete his tasks. During Kronos’s rising Percy knew that Mount Olympus could be overthrown and with his ambition and many other traits he made sure that didn’t happen.
C: Courage. One thing that got Percy through all his adventures is his courage. Without that he wouldn’t have been able to stand up above all the other campers and become the leader of the Half-bloods. Without courage he would not have been able to fight Kronos and Luke. Without his courage he would not have been able to succeed in his dangerous tasks.
K: Keen. Percy is smart and keen and always has a plan. He goes into fights knowing what he is going to do and executes it perfectly. When he fought the Clazmonian Sow (a flying pig) he tricked it in to flying near some stone statue automatons and they destroyed the Sow.
S: Selfless. Percy is selfless because he was offered to be turned in to a god after he saved Mount Olympus, but he turned that down to ask for a gift that would help all half bloods like himself. He asked that all the Half-bloods would be claimed by their parents (gods). Also he would be turning down his best friend Annabeth if he became a God. Earlier she had been offered to join Artimis and her hunters, but she refused so she could stay with Percy.
O: Open-minded. Percy was open-minded. He thought about all the possible outcomes. When he was defending Mount Olympus from Kronos he made sure every thing was defended. He thought about all the possible places that Kronos could attack from and he made sure everything was covered. He also made his plan open to possible outcomes, so he could be ready for anything
N: Nonhuman. Percy during the book says to Rachael his friend, “Let’s pretend we’re a couple of normal people” (8). Percy is a half-blood he is part god and part human. In this book part of him is nonhuman and the whole book is the way it is because of this. He can see and do things, that normal people can’t. When Kronos stops time for all humans Percy can still move around and stuff because part of him is nonhuman.
