Significant Quote: "And before anyone could react, the monster, with Annabeth still on his back, leaped over the cliff and tumbled into the darkness." (26)

Explanation: This quote is significant because it is what began on of the main conflicts in this section of the book. When Annabeth went over the cliff while still on the manticore's back, Percy made it his goal to try and save her, but the hunters convinced him that it was hopeless, and that she was gone. He later had a dream, in which he found out that Annabeth was still alive, so he made it his mission to find her, and get her out of danger.

HOT Q: If you were in Bianca di Angelo's place of having to choose if you wanted to be a hunter or not, would you take it or not? Why or why not?

Your Answer to the HOT Q: I would not become a hunter for Artemis because I feel I would not be happy. Yes, I would be defending many mythological creature, and be immortal, but it's not a life style I would want to have for myself. If any girl were to become a hunter, there would be no boys, which after a couple of hundred years, may begin to bother a little. Also, I do not know if I would like to dedicate the rest of eternity to fighting, I would want to go to college, and get a career.

Connection:** I can relate to how upset Percy was when he thought he lost Annabeth. I felt this way when my grandfather got very sick and was in the hospital. I remember being so upset, that I couldn't even think straight. Then, not to long after my grandfather was hospitalized he went back home, and was healthy for a while. This is also like Percy's situation with Annabeth because he was very happy when he found out that she was still alive.
