Sometime people’s choice just cannot be well made, and sometime even demigods are troubled with such horror, for example, Percy Jackson is one of the many victims, suffering in the fate of an easily triggered body. But there are ways that Percy Jackon could use to make good choices that could benefit him in his future days, like managing emotions and having positive relations. 

First, although many times he was making bad reckless choices, he wouldn’t have such violent tendency if he managed his emotions. Such as in the PJATLT book where he managed his emotion, “I wanted to get angry, he pushed me so hard”(Pg7, PJLT book, Rick Riordan) which he managed his emotions and didn’t get angry, so it said in the book “if you found yourself having negative thoughts, look for evidence against them” (Pg18, article of Managing Emotions, Skillsyouneed.com, 2019). That was an example of him managing his emotion, but on the contrary, there are time where he failed to control, “I got so frustrated I threw my Cambridge Guide to Greek Mythology across the dorm room”, (Pg18, PJLT book, Rick Riordan), this problem might be solved if Percy read the article, which said “Watching a bit TV, reading, or surfing the internet will probably help you forget that you were feeling a bit down”(Pg18, article of Managing Emotions, Skillsyouneed.com, 2019). Clearly Percy Jackson could manage his emotions and make good not-reckless choices. 

Having positive relationships could also be very useful in ways you wouldn’t understand, sometimes effects the outcome of choices, bad once. positive relationships will make Percy think of bad outcomes that could happen to his friend if he executed the wrong doings, here’s an example, “Grover tried to calm me down.” (Pg3, PJLT book, Rick Riordan). Percy’s violent tendency did great favor of helping him get angry, but that ok, because Grover stopped him from being reckless, which perfectly describes “The support offered by a caring friend can provide a buffer against the effects of stress” (Pg28 article of why personal relationship are important, takingcharge.csh.umn.edu, 2018, Dec 6th). Percy’s mother did also reduce stress, but with such easy way, “My mother can make me feel good by walking into the room” (Pg32, PJLT book, Rick Riordan). And here it repeats “friendship bonds can help reduce stress, increase happiness and bolster self-confidence” (Pg23, article of Positive relationships, Washington post, adapted by Newsela staff). Thinking of how choices could affect positive relationship, or how positive relationships would think if bad choice were made, a normal person could not possibly make such choices. 

Sometimes people’s choice just cannot be well made, but sometimes they could, later on in the PJLT book, Percy Jackson’s personality had changed a lot, he started to care for friends and manage emotions; he started to make good choices, choice that helped him on his quest and that made him a hero.
