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.

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.

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.
