4) Literary elements/techniques:
Zeus has a master bolt, and this bolt is used as symbol by symbolizing Zeus’ power.
When Percy has his mysterious dreams they show foreshadowing, each in its own way.
Also when Percy is with Luke in the Cabin of Hermes, and Luke looks somewhat peculiar, and tells Percy that he has a disliking feeling towards the gods. At the end of the book Luke appears to be the person who many didn’t expect him to be, the lightning thief.
Percy is also described as a dynamic character in the way change at the end of the story from being the boy getting kick out of schools and then the one who saved his father.
