How Can Percy Have a Better Life? 

 

Imagine Percy having friends, he might be in a normal school like all of us and not being a troubled kid. Right now, Percy only has one person that he trusts it’s not his dad it’s his mom. He’s not like really good friends with Grover anymore because he ditched him. Percy would have a better life if he has more confidence and to make more friends.  

 

Being confident is a big challenge for some people especially for Percy. If Percy was confident, he could have a nice family and he could love them all equally, also he might not have the dad that he has now that he absolutely hates. Having confidence could lead Percy talk up to teacher more or even have more friends, for example if Percy was interested on another boy then he would need the confidence to talk up to him and then they could become friends, He could even write a letter to them. If Percy has confidence in himself, he would choose his own choices and his path of what he wants to do. Instead of miss treating his friends and not having a great family like most people do.  

 

Percy needs to make more friends in his life, he doesn’t really know how good life is with friends. Having a healthy a positive relationship could lead Grover and Percy to be more connected, they could even arrange their schedules and become even closer. The other part of Percy Jackson might want friends because he said this, “I’d made some new friends. I’d done pretty well in Latin. And honestly, the fights hadn’t been as bad as the headmaster said.” But also, Percy might not like Grover as much because of what he said. “Confession time: I ditched Grover as soon as we got to the bus terminal. know, I know. It was rude. But Grover was freaking me out, looking at me like I was a dead man, muttering.” First of all, Percy said he knows it’s rude to ditch your friends but then he could’ve only done that because he actually doesn’t really like him as a friend.  

 

Grover might have more friends in his life than Percy. The only reason why this might be right because he said, “Look, Percy…I was just worried for you, see? I mean, hallucinating about demon math teachers…” Grover was worried about Percy when Percy didn’t really actually care about him, he just talked to him. On the other hand, Grover might count Percy Jackson as an actual friend, cares about him, and protect him. Grover could give a present to Percy, then they could become more positive to each other. The reason why this may be right is because in the article ‘Spending time with good friends can improve our lives, especially during the holidays’ said, “Also, feelings of sadness and disappointment may arise if dear friends live far away. However, old-fashioned letter writing can be one way to reconnect.” In page 43 and 44 Grover said, “Look, Percy, the truth is, I—I kind of have to protect you,” then Percy said very rudely, “what exactly are you protecting me from?” 

 

In addition, Percy Jackson might only have one person that he really trusts and loves but he still goes through all the stress, challenges, and troubles that all middle schoolers goes through. Being confident and making the best choices comes first because then basically every human being can do anything they want to do if they are confident in themselves. Overall being confident and having more friends will definitely let Percy have a way better life. Letting Percy have a better life will let Percy have more friends, being more confident in himself, and going to a normal school like the rest of us.
