4) I did make connections to my life in the way it talk about friendship, by not just caring about yourself but also about other.
5) The author's tone would be again friendship in the way Percy did not leave his friends behind.

" for the first time in my life I'd almost made it an entire year without getting expelled"(4). "No weird accidents, no fights in the classroom, no teachers turning into monsters and trying to kill me"(4). "Only one more day to go surely even I couldn't mess that up"(4). "He thinks it might not be safe for you to come to camp just yet"(6). "Argggh!"(184). "Reet,reet"(178)
Characterization:
1) direct: "Annabeth murmured", "Annabeth backed up, and Circe laughed!" The author uses these so we can see the their actions.

Task two: know your zombies
In Angela Watercutter's article entitled The science of surviving the zombie apocalypse, she suggests that we can survive the zombie apocalypse with science. The author supports her claim by base on the the zombie's brain that the UC neuroscientist Bradley voytek created. Like in walking dead suffered from a condition they called CDHD. The author next proceeds to show that humans can exploit many zombie deficiencies, take advantage of their amnesia by hiding until they forget about you or their slowness. Finally, the author argues that zombies have immunity to pain, zombies can't feel pain if you can kill the brain don't even try to fight it. They would not feel anything " if someone accidentally learns something about the brain along the way" Voytek said, " then I've achieved my goal."

The author next proceeds to show that you have an emergency plan. Identify the types of emergencies in your area, pick a meeting place, have emergency contacts and plan your evacuation route. "When zombies are hungry they won't stop until they get food"(khan). Finally, the author states that the CDC is prepared to assist. It sends medical teams to affected areas and provides technical assistance.
