No vocab. today.
Percy was able to get to Mount Olympus while the gods were out fighting the Titans. He and the rest of Camp Half-Blood had to defend it from Kronos and his army. Percy had to fight against a different Titan that had stayed with Kronos. He was able to defeat him, but then he had to fight against a giant flying pig called a sow. He was able to defeat it with the help of a pegasus named Blackjack.
I have finished the book. I am going to soon finish blogging about it. Next I am going to read a different Pendragon book. It has arrived at the library.

The Lottery by Lacy Sussex. Genre: Science-Fiction. Pages read: 14 ( 15 mins)
No vocab. today.
I read this from a book that has a bunch of Sci-Fi stories. This one is about a girl from the future going back in time to the Upper Cambrian era to try and make sure that humans will still be the dominant species. She has a lottery machine that shows who will be the dominant species in the future. She puts some balls in it that have pictures of the animals on them. She puts them in to see who will survive throughout the ages. It is human's ancestor who makes it. She puts some of the slug-like animals into the mud at the bottom of the ancient ocean and then gets attacked by another animal. She forgot her harpoon in the boat, but she's still able to get to the boat. As she gets ready to get back to the time machine, she sees another light coming towards her. It's a strange-looking boat that she sees someone or something in. It has a round head, and she realizes that it is a protective suit. The ship releases several other animals into the sea and leaves. She sees that it let go the predator who hunts her ancestors. "So humans aren't the only ones who can cheat the past", she says to herself. Slowly she starts to disappear, along with all of the stuff she brought with her. In just a few seconds, the last human is gone from the Earth.
I think that this is a weird story. It wouldn't be cool if that really happened though. There are 9 stories in this book. IIIIIII AAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEESSSOOOMMMMMMMEEEE
