Percy should have positive relationships, so he can make good choices. For example, he has very good relationships between his mother, Grover, and Mr. Brunner. He cares about them very much, and he also trusts them. They often trusts Percy and cares about him, too. The relationship between Percy and Gabe (his stepfather) isn’t very positive. They often had fights, and disagreement. But this is often because Gabe is not nice to Percy and his mother, not Percy and his mother’s fault. But they need to talk to him, and probably his goanna change his attitude. The relationship between Percy and Annabeth, Luke and Chiron are also good, but the relationship between Percy and Luke changed at the end. Luke is one of the bads, he had been pretending to be good until the last moment he and Percy met, he shows Percy the real him. 

 

Percy should have positive relationships so he makes good choices. In the novel, Percy says “Her name is Sally Jackson, and she is the best person+ the nicest lady in the world, she can make me feel good just by walking into the room.”(page29,33,and 32) From this sentence, we can tell that Percy has positive relationships with his mother, and that will never change. But they should trust each other more, so the relationship between them will be better then before. Research indicates that strong relationships contribute to health at any age. in the novel, Grover says “‘Watching me? Keep tabs on you. Making sure you were okay. But I wasn’t faking being your friend,’ he added hastily. ‘i am your friend.’” (page44). From the article, the person from University of Minnesota says “the support offered by a caring friend can provide a buffer against the effects of stress.” Fron these quotes, we know that Percy needs to learn how to manage his life. He needs to make more friends, not just Grover or Annabeth. He needs to manage his emotions, he can’t be always angry forever.
