POST #1:
A persect trap for me would be a place where everything has to do with Justin Bieber.The reason why?HELLOOOO!!!He is a "fox" as Mr.Smith says.It would be where all transportation were in wheelchairs.I don't know why I like wheelchairs,I just do because they are very fun to ride on.Either that,or those motorized thing-a-ma-jiggers at Wal-Mart.It would have to smell like the Dream Angel Divine perfume because I REALLY like that smell because when I was little,my mom use to some home from work wearing that,and every time I gave her a hug,I would capture her smell.The food there would have to be like the food at Krystal Burger.I think there is only 1 Krystal Burger in Texas,which is around where Traiders Village is.Most of the Krystal Burgers are in Mississippe and Tennessee (where I spend most of my summers).The rooms...well it would take a while for me to explain,but there would be posters EVERYWHERE just like in my room at home.In fact,I would want an exact replica of my room at my house.

POST #2:
I would like to go to the Lotus Casino,and I would probably stay for a year.I wouldn't want to stay for too long,because I would be missing the outside world.Who knows,Justin Bieber could get married to Taylor Swift or something!!!I would miss a lot,and Angelina Jolie would probably have 27 kids when I get out.But on a serious note,I would miss my parents and I would also not want to come back (SURPRISINGLY) because then I would just miss more things.I would also miss the everyday things like chores.I do chores and I excessively and clean when I am bored (that explains my room!). But I know that I will learn a very important lesson:be careful what you wish for!!!

Chapter 16 Questions

1.What’s in the backpack Ares gives Percy? If you were him, would you have accepted this gift?In the backpack,there were fresh clothes,$20,a pouch of golden drachmas,and a bag of Double Stuf Oreos.I would have taken the backpack,because it would help me out a lot,and I would take any help I could get.

2.What news does Ares give Percy about his mom? That she wasn't dead-she disappeared before the minotaur could kill her.She was just being kept,like a Hostage.

3.Annabeth says Percy wasn’t smart to anger Ares. Was Percy right to talk back to him? Why or why not?
I don't think he was-he's a very powerful god,and he is the god of war so...DER DER DER!!!ANY SANE PERSON WOULDN'T PICK A FIGHT WITH THE GOD OF WAR.And he is immortal,so it would be pretty hard to hurt him.
4.What do the beads mean on Annabeth’s necklace?Every August,the counselors pick the most important event of the summer,and they paint it on that year's beads.

5.Percy says that Annabeth should write her father a letter. What would you advise her to do?I think she should write him a letter that includes how she is doing,and let him know everything that has happened,and about her current quest with Percy and Grover.

6.Percy’s dream has three different parts – what does he see in each scene?At the first scene,he was sitting with Zeus's daughter Thalia because he stayed after class,and all the other kids went out for recess.He was being forced to take a test in a straitjacket.The jacket melted off of him,and he fell through the classroom floor.In the second scene,the teacher's voice changed until it was cold and evil,echoing from the deep depths of the great chasm.He was back in the dark cavern,spirits of the dead drifting around him.Unseen in the pit,a monstrous thing was speaking to him.In the third scene,he was standing in a vast throne room with black marble walls and bronze floors.The empty,horrid throne was made from human bones fused together.Standing at the foot of the dais was him mom,frozen in shimmering golden light,her arms outstretched.

7.How does Grover make sure the animals will be safe after they are released?
He placed a satyr's sanctuary on the animals.

8.Percy, Grover and Annabeth are attracted to different types of games at the Lotus Casino. What does each one like, and what does this tell you about their personality?Annabeth builds her own sim buidlings,and it's obvious that she want to do somethings great and build something.Grover plays a reverse-hunter shooting game,which proves that he is mad at humans for treating the animals so bad,and Percy played the VR sharpshooters,because sometimes he gets mad,and he doesn't mind fighting.

9.When does Percy start to realize the casino is a trap?When Darrin says "Groovy" and when he says that the year is 1977,and other kids said that it was different years,so when they go,they think it is the same year,but time passees by way more quickly.THEY NEVER LEAVE.

10.How does Percy snap Annabeth out of her trance?He started looking her in her eyes and talking about spiders-Large,hairy spiders.

Chapter 15 Anticipatory Prompt #1

Annabeth is right-even strength has to bow to wisdom.If you are strong-WIPTEEDOO great for you!!!But you have to have the smarts to know when and how to use them.For example,if you get offended by what somebody says,if you have all strength,you are going to fight.If you have wisdom,you will tell or do something like that.You might think it is wimpy,but let's just see whenever you end up in I.S.S. I know you might be laughing now,but it has happened to me,and I was the one not in I.S.S.So when it comes to it,WISDOM IS THE CHEESE TO MY MACARONI.I'd prefer wisdom over strength any day.
