Book I read is called War Horse, Written by Michael Morpurgo.
This book is about a boy called Albert and a horse called Joey. They survive a war together. They have to separate from one another until the war finishes. They find out that Joey is a war horse. At the end they are back together and continue living there lives. At first Albert was very happy that he got a horse from his father he promised he would take good care of him. Since Joey was a foal, Albert had to teach him lots of thins in life. Anyway I loved reading this book once I started reading this book I couldn't stop. I even watched the movie It was amazing.

That's all now Bai!

Bloomability by Sharon Creech

Cover of Bloomability

I am on the 163rd page of Bloomability. I chose this book to read because I am in the literary ladies club and I really wanted to start reading the book. It's awesome so far. It's about a girl who's father doesn't really ever have a job and she moves around all the time from place to place in the U.S.A. Her brother is pretty much a criminal and her sister is pregnant at the age of 16.

Her aunt and uncle are moving to Switzerland and organize it so that 'Domenica' goes with them. Dinnie is extremely reluctant as she wants to stay with her family, but is forced to go.

She goes to the international school in Switzerland and stays with her Uncle, the headmaster. She makes many extravagant friends and it tells the story of her life.

A word I still don't really understand is bloomability. In the book there is a Japanese guy who has rather unique English. He changes words up a bit into something more original. Bloomability means possibility. This is a really good title for the book as a lot of the book is about Dinnie's 'possibilities.'

Jane Goodall My life with chimpanzees

The book i am reading is my life with chimpanzees by jane goodall.  It is a very exiting book that is non-fiction and we are reading it in class.  I am on chapter 7 now and jane goodall has lived in the jungle with chimps and she had also gotten a child when she was still living in the forest.  the thing i like about the book is that Jane has so many problems but since she knows a lot about animals she gets through the obstacles.  the word i didn't know from chapter six was nocturnal.  Well nocturnal means nighttime so if there is a nocturnal animal it is a animal that is around at night.

Thats the book i am reading. :)
 

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Hi guys! Today I will write about the book that I start reading one week ago. It's called "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" by J.R.R Tolkien. It has 407 pages and I read 110.
The reason why I start reading this book is because I watched the movie and I liked it and I wanted to find out if the book and the movie are different. Till now the beginning of the book and the movie are very different.
fellowship=the condition or relation of being a fellow.

My Life With Chimpanzees by Jane Goodall

This week (and the previous one), I have been reading Jane Goodall's book, "My Life With Chimpanzees." Because it was our in-class-book that we did in English, I had to read it. I really enjoy this book, because I love animals and I really like the way Jane describes all the situations she was or is in. We as a class are currently on chapter 6, but since I was very interested in the book I read until chapter 15. A word I didn't know is ethologist. An ethologist is a person who studies animal behavior and they way they act in their natural environments. A sentence that I came up with that has the word ethologist in it is: "He used to be an ethologist, who focused only on elephants."

Hey sixth graders,

This week I am reading my Life with the Chimpanzees by Jane Goodall. Yes, I am writing about this book because it is literally the only book I read this week. I am on chapter six now.

Let's see... a word I don't know? Aha! How about...

Impale:

A rather violent word, it means to pierce with a sharp instrument.

Another word? Hmm...

Vervet:

An African  monkey with greenish-brown upper parts and a black face.

Well there is my book and my words! Hope those two words help fill your vocabulary!

GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS 2003!

AUTHOR: "GUINNESS COMMUNITY'
NUMBER OF PAGES: 505/505

Hello everyone! Your first question is going to be why I am reading a book 11 years old? Well, why not take a short journey to the past, and laugh at things so humble to us today, and so majestic 11 years ago? I have read the book numerous times, and I find the cover annoying, but that is ok. Here are 4 very interesting records (They might be heavily out-of-date!):

1. THE WORLDS FASTEST COMPUTER (Not anymore!)- the NEC Earth Simulator at the Yokohama institute for Earth sciences in Japan, is capable of an incredible 35.6 trillion calculations at any given time!
2. TALLEST MAN (Still stands strong!)- Robert Pershing Wadlow, who was 2.72 Meters (8 ft 11 inches)! He died very young due to an infection, only at the age of 18, in June of 1940......
3. LARGEST HANDS OF MAN STILL ALIVE (Not anymore!)- Somalian born Hussain Bissad has the largest hands on a living person!His hands are 26.9 centimeters (10.59 inches)! Robert Wadlow, the tallest man who ever lived, had hands that where 32.3 centimeters (12.75 inches) big!
4.MOST POINTS IN NBA (Still stands!)- Kareem Abdul Jabbar. He scored 38, 387 until he retired in 1989.

How do I feel about this book you are wondering? Well, a Guinness book of world records will never loose its charm. I think that these books offer such a wide variety of many interesting records, ranging from sports to weight, or animals to biology. Conceptually, I do not think that this will ever be out-dated.

Mystery word: SEIZURE. Definition: A sudden attack of disturbances, leading to consequences in terms of health, and the loss of consciousness.

BOOK #2 (GERMAN) "CABIN FEVER-6 DIARY OF A WIMPY KID"
AUTHOR: JEFF KINNEY
NUMBER OF PAGES: 179/218

As you might already know, I am a German learner! As a perfect choice for an easy beginners book, I chose something that has already become a classic, Diary of A Wimpy Kid! This book is the 6th out of 8 books in this series.

It is about Greg's winter holiday troubles. The book starts, when the Winter holidays are approaching. He tries to earn money with his friend Rowley, but instead he ends up in some Tabloid news. He has never-ending problems with his brother Rodrick, along with his younger brother Manny.

 This book is great! It is a little bit slow-going because of the fact that it is on German, but I give it a 10/10 in all categories. There are no mystery words because it is on German.

'Great Expectations' ... in KOREAN! :D

      Hello everyone, nowadays I am reading multiple books (like 4 books at once), but since this book is the one I read most, I will just write about this one. The book I'm reading is 'Great Expectations' in Korean. It is written by Charles Dickens, and this version is split in two books, because its too long to all fit in one book, so I am reading the first book. I read 135 pages out of 463.

      This book is about a boy named Pip (a.k.a. Philip - he had a short tongue when he was little, so couldn't pronounce his proper name). It shows his thoughts, growth, difference, life, changing, and feelings. His life is saddish-happy (but mostly sad), and he lives with his evil sister and her kind and understanding husband, Jo, in her house, because Pip is an orphan (his parents died when he was little, along with many of his siblings). His life changes by the order of events that happen (to him). So far, I have read two events, which are (SPOILER ALERT!) when Pip meets an escapee from prison (look at the picture), who threatens Pip to give him food and help him so that he could catch another escapee from prison, and the other event is when Pip goes to Ms. Havisham's house, where he meets Esteller, a girl who lives in that house with Ms. Havisham. He changes a lot then because Esteller makes him feel so bad by teasing him. So far, that's how much I read. 

(Picture source: www.prisonvoices.org ) 

      I chose this book because since the books I mostly read are not classic books, my mom told me that I should read more classic books. But they are hard to understand in English, because most of them was written long ago, so they are complicated and is written in old English. Korean is easier to understand (because its my mother-tongue language), so I decided to choose one of the translated classic books I have at home, which is 'Great Expectations'. Another reason I specifically chose this book is because my mom told me that some of the books I have are still hard to understand for my age. She then told me that this book is okay, and she told me what this book is basically about. I thought it was alright, and it might be fun (I thought/think that classics are boring, but this book is fun (for now)). 

      I don't know how I am going to write an unknown word because this is in Korean, and because some of the words I don't know in Korean I know in English, and some of the words I don't know in English I know in Korean. Plus, words in both languages can have the same definition along with multiple others. But I will put a word which I think is at least mentioned in the book: 

Word: Prodigy

Definition: A young person with exceptional qualities or abilities.
Sentence: (How am I supposed to write a sentence? It's in Korean, and a sentence translated in another language might mean the same. I'm so sorry people.)

I AM SO NOT A POP STAR

What are you reading this week? 
How did you choose the reading?


I am reading "I am so not a pop star." It is very good book for teenagers.
Well, I choose the reading (book) when I was on Humanities. That day I forgot my lap-top (didn't work) and I didn't have to do anything and I already read my old book. Than I gone to library and I took this book.

Shadow of Hegeon

Shadow of Hegemon

By: Orson Scott Card

The book I have chosen to read this week is Shadow of Hegemon, by Orson Scott Card. I have read 399 pages out of the total 451. I have chosen to read this novel by reading the first one and enjoying it very much, the first novel Ender's Game was recommended to me. An unknown word that I have found in this novel is; scuffle, the sentence the word was found in is; A few others had been wakened by the scuffle,on the page 284. The definition of scuffle is; movement in a hurried way that makes a rustling sound.

Our Love Song

Hello Everyone

So, I have not really read any books this week but I have been reading a Fan-fiction about two of my favorite characters from the TV show called Glee. (Klaine)

Anyway, the title of the fan-fiction that I read is called Our Love Song. Since I read this on Wattpad.com there is not really a full name for the author, but her username is sebklaine, and I do know that her name is Ally.( By the way this is her profile, http://www.wattpad.com/user/sebklaine ) . There are 44 pages. Not too many pages but the story is very intense and depressing and happy and sad and depressing and romantic. I chose to read this because I ship Klaine even in my sleep. And because it was one of the best stories on Wattpad.

Unknown word-
Suffice- (Definition) To be enough, or enough.
The sentence it was used in was "But for now, just saying it will have to suffice" (pg.1 chapter 1)

That is it from me I guess!

Bloomability

Author: Sharon Creech

#ofp: 273/273

          This week I was reading a very interesting unfamiliar book. I just finished on Friday. Bloomability is about Domenica Santolina Doone, (otherwise known as Dinnie), and her opportunity. From whe she was born in Kentucky to Mexico where her first life ended Dinnie was always on the move with her country father, city mother, her older sis Stella who ended up pregnant at the age of sixteen, and her brother Crick who ended up in jail. This was her life, always moving about every six months where her father had believed to find an opportunity. Until one day she was "kidnapped" by her uncle Max and aunt Sandy and off to Switzerland she went. Here Dinnie learns to realize that everyone, even she has a bit of bloomability in them. I read this book thanks to miss Brink and miss Stanisic and literary ladies.
      One word that I did not under stand, and many of you won't either, was bloomability. Later I learned it to be a mispronounced word of possibility by a Japanese boy named Keisuke but turned into a whole new meaning as in finding who you truly are, adapting, forcing through struggles, and being interesting.
I hope you guys will rad this book. Although the beginning is hard to take in and I personally had to re read the beginning.

House of Hades

HI guys, 
I am rereading the Heroes of Olympus series, I have just finished the last book of the series called House of Hades all 583/583 pages. 
Here is a picture:

I have rereading the House of Hades book because it was so interesting and exiting the first time that I wanted to reread it in case that I had missed some details. 
The book is set in present day, they start of in the north of Rome and they continued through out the book to Greece with some stops on the way. 
In the book there goal is to get to Greece to the house of Hades where they will meet Percy and Annabeth who had fallen in to Tartarus. They will need Annabeth and Percy to survive there journey so they can close the does of death from the inside and the rest of the group will close the doors from the outside, that way when they kill a monster it will take a long time for it to reform and fight again. 
The word that was a bit unknown for me was: Akhhlys, she is the goddess of misery,poison.

Carrie

My senta

Cover of Carrie

Title: Carrie
Author: Stephen King
Pages Read: 231/231

I read Carrie by Stephen King. I chose it because it is a horror/thriller and maybe an adventure book. Carrie is based on a true story. Stephen King knew a girl in the year 1970 something. She didn't fit in with her peers and she was picked on and bullied by most of the kids in her school because how she looked. The girl finally had enough money to buy 'trendy' clothes, she got bullied even more (because she tried to fit in). The girl committed suicide in the late 1980's.
A word that I didn't know was doleful on page ninety-something and it means expressing sorrow; mournful. My sentence is: (I wasn't sure if the sentence had to do with the story) "Everyone had doleful expressions when they looked down at the coffin that held the once innocent girl"

Mortal Fire

Pages: I have read all the pages.
Author: Elizabeth Knox

Hello fellow readers. This week I have been reading a book called mortal fire by Elizabeth Knox. I chose this book because I had read every book I had at home and when I was on winter break my family and I went to a book store and I looked at the shelves and found the book. When I read the blurb I knew that this was going to be an interesting read and I was right. An unknown word that I found is dispel. To dispel means to drive off in various directions, to disperse. A sentence that dispel can be used in is, "Facts are only useful if they can inform broader concepts and help dispel myths."

The Sweetest Sorrows of Ava Hale ♡

The story that I'm reading is ''The Sweetest Sorrows of Ava Hale'' by Kara Cross. The story I'm reading is written on the website called ''Wattpad'', an online community where lots of people publish their stories in many chapters. Basically, Kara Hall is not the author of any books, she is just a girl who writes her stories on Wattpad for fun. Getting back to the story....

"The Sweetest Sorrows of Ava Hale" is the story about the girl trying to be happy again since her sister Kesley was murdered, at lake O'Hara. The girl is basically writing a letter to her dead sister and trying to ignore the pain. Although, this is only the first chapter out of twenty two, I'm really enjoying this story. I'm looking forwards to read every chapter and see what will happen. (On Wattpad, each chapter is usually about one or two pages). Finding this story on Wattpad was really random and since I read stories on Wattpad daily, I decided to see what stories got Wattpad awards ("The Wattys") and this one was in top 10. When read the title, I was really surprised how interested it sounded to me and so I started reading it and it is one of the best stories I read on Wattpad even though it's only the first chapter/page. That's basically how I started reading this and I definitely recommend it to everybody. One unknown word was alas. Alas is used to express sorrow and this is a sentence where it was used: 'But alas, here I am, writing a letter to a dead girl.'

Insurgent ❤

Hi everyone!
Today wasn't really a week where I actually read much, due to many  4/5 days with some sort of after activity, and then a lot of homework. Yet I did get to read SOMETHING!
Currently I am in the middle of the book Insurgent by Veronica Roth. I read Divergent in the February break, and finished it in two days. It was REALLY good and I enjoyed it hugely. Reading Insurgent has been going slowly because of the play, but I am planning on finishing it by next week (lets hope.)
Currently, I am on page.... *checks*... 434 I believe, out of a grand total of 525. I'm at the part just before the really exciting things begin to happen, so I am planning on reading more this weekend. The number of pages is of Saturday morning.
I read about 50 pages this week. It is a very interesting book, which I am enjoying hugely. It is actually the second book in the Divergent trilogy, so I am halfway through the whole series.
It is a dystopian book, set in a future where society is sorted into five 'factions' you have to take an aptitude test, to see in which one you belong. There is Candor, for people who believe in honesty, Erudite, for those who believe in knowledge, Amity, who believe in happiness, Dauntless, you believes in bravery, and Abgnation, who believe in Selflessness.
I am not going to ruin the book for you though, but this is the second book, and it is really exciting and if you haven't read Divergent (book #1)... READ. IT. NOW.

 I am going to share with you one word I didn't know the meaning of. This word is actually is the title.

Insurgent ; a person fighting against a government or invading force; a rebel or revolutionary.

Basically, an insurgent is someone who is standing against the system, just like the main character Tris. In Insurgent, society has gone a little haywire, and Tris and her fellow... comrades are trying to stop everything getting even worse. They don't really believe that using weird mind control tactics, and almost killing 1/5 of the population is ok. So, they are insurgents. 

So my sentence- Tris and her comrades are insurgents, and they want to make society better for everyone. 

Also I just want to share this with everyone - 

http://quizzes.teen.com/take/386/0/1/0

This is an online aptitude test to she which faction you belong in. I got Dauntless.. what did you get?

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

Sorry the Picture was not HD

The one that got away by Chris Ryan is about a military soldier that was himself was trapped in a battlefield both of his friends were held captive and killed he had to walk all the way from an Iraqi attack and walked 200 miles towards Syria. This is a true story based on the author. His life was constantly in danger. There were 8 members of SAS that was involved in this mission to defeat the Iraqi but only 1 could survive. In total I read 48 pages/ 320 pages. I chose this book because it looked like it had a lot of action in it. I didn't get the word cul-de-sac and I found out that it was a dead end. 

Shadow

The book I am reading just for pleasure this week is entitled Shadow by Michael Morpurgo.  This author has also written the famous book War Horse.

 I have read 33 pages out of the 264 that are in the book. 

 I will tell you a very brief  summary of what I have read so far.  There is  this kid who goes to his grandfather's house for the summer and tells his grandfather that he want to get his best friend out of a "jail" and so they go. His grandfather feels nervous about what is about to happen next.  A lot of the who, what, when, how, where and why is not included in the brief summery to make you feel more urged to read this fascinating book. 

 I chose to read this book because I had nothing to do so I thought maybe I could read the book my sister got for me and that is how I got into reading this book.   

An unknown word in the part of which I have read is befriender on page 24.  Befriender is  a person who acts as a friend to (someone) by offering help or support.

Quote:

“I can hate you more, but I'll never love you less.”

Review by Shelly Ness

I started reading this book when i was at the airport. It was at the February break. I found out about this book because Ashley was reading it and she told me it is a good book so at a bookstore at the airport in London, I got really bored playing games on my phone so i bought it and started to read it. It was really interesting and I could relate to the book/main character so i kept on reading!

This book is called wonder. The name is unclear to me in a way. The book starts as August, telling about himself and his life. He is telling how he is a normal kid, but he looks strange and different than others. I fell really bad for him and he is always with no friends because he was always home schooled and his friends have moved or they aren't in touch anymore. He was is the narrator and main person in this part. Then after the narrator was his sister who care for him, her name is Via. At school they called her Olivia because she didn't want people to know that August, her "ugly E.T, lizard face, rat boy, monster" brother was her brother.

A work that was unknown to me in this book was gauge (page 90). The sentence was: "He looks better now, no doubt about that, but signs we used to gauge his moods are all gone". 

Gauge means to estimate or determine the amount, level, or volume of. "astronomers can gauge the star's intrinsic brightness". It also means to judge or assess (a situation, mood, etc.). An example or a sentence is "she was unable to gauge his mood".

Bunheads

This week I started a new book called Bunheads by Sophie Flack.  As a dancer with the ultra-prestigious Manhattan Ballet Company, nineteen-year-old Hannah Ward juggles intense rehearsals, dazzling performances and complicated backstage relationships. I’ve chose this book because I’ve been told great things about it. A new word that I found while reading is leotards. The definition of this word is a close-fitting one piece garment, made of a stretchy fabric, which covers a person’s body from the shoulders to the top of the tights, worn by dancers or people exercising indoors.  Currently I am on page 10. 

The Golden Compass

The Golden Compass

By: Philip Pullman

For my third quarter book project I have finished reading all 399 pages of, The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman. The climax of The Golden Compass is when Lyra is kidnapped by the Samoyed people and taken to the Gobblers, where she is looking both for Roger and a way to escape. The event that led to the climax of The Golden Compass was everybody; Lyra, Lorek Byrnison and the Gyptions on their boat getting ready to sail to the North.

The Princess Bride: Climax

The book I finished reading for my book report is "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman.  The climax of this novel is when Westley is pronounced dead. Buttercup is depressed and vows never to love again. After some time Prince Humperdinck comes to notice Buttercups beauty, and ask's (demands) her hand in marriage. Buttercup accepts as it is the only way to avoid death. The event that led to the climax was when Westley went to America to seek fortune. 

Hobbit

The book that I finished reading is called the Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien (#306/306 pages). The climax of the hobbit is when the dwarfs, the hobbit find the secret entrance that leads to the halls that Smaugh the dangerous dragon rules. Smaugh lives in The Lonely Mountain, and when the dwarfs find the door that leads to Smaugh they are excited but also afraid of the things that are going to happen. What lead to this climax was when they *(hobbit and dwarfs) were walking on hills, mountains getting through many obstacles and trying to get to the Lonely Mountain.

The book of sight climax

Hey guys,

I am doing "The Book of Sight" for my book project.

The climax is when they go into this dark cave, almost drown, and find a cave full of books like the ones they have. Magical books. Then... A squid-like-creature comes up and tries to kill them! One of them slashes a sword at it and kills it.

How exciting could that be? VERY!!! I loved that part of the book. Many books have that. I can't describe how exciting it is.

The Return of The King

Author: J.J.R. Tolkien
# of pages: 624/624

                 There are many climaxes in this book also because there are two parts of telling this story. I'm kind of late reading this book and most of you have probably read it already. In my opinion, I believe the climax was when finally at the top of the mountain, at the point of trying to get rid of the ring, Frodo is taken over to evil and attacks his loyal friend and assistant Sam. Then Gollum, or Smeagle, or both attacks Frodo and bites off Frodo's finger and gains the ring! Only to fall into the fire unto which the ring was first created. This I have to say wasn't the most exciting part for me and wasn't my favorite either. The main event that led up to the climax in this book is when Frodo learns that Sam took the ring from him after believing that he was finally dead. This whole thing went to his head and the power of the ring was so strong that from that point on, he was lead by the leash of the ring as he was the ring bearer.

Mark of Athena | By Rick Riordan | Climax

The climax is the most exciting part of the book, what you read for. The climax in my book came at the end. The quest that the 7 main characters have to go on is to defeat Gaea, mother earth, she wants to wipe out all of humanity and let her off springs roam the earth (giants, titans, etc.). One key element to defeat her is to find and retrieve the Athena Parthenos. Annabeth, one of the 7 main character, goes on a solo quest given to her by her mother to find the Athena Parthenos because the Romans tore that statue down and instead of keeping her as a war strategy goddess; they made her a goddess of crafts and wisdom. Athena was offended and that made Minerva, Athena's roman equivalent, a very bitter goddess as well. Athenians wanted revenge for that so Minerva or Athena would send a child of Athena to find the Athena Parthenos every couple of centuries.SPOILER ALERT: The next couple of sentences spoil the book, but that's the climax! Annabeth is the first of her brethren to succeed in the task of defeating Arachne and retrieving the Athena Parthenos. She has to outwit Arachne and make her weave her own trap, a giant Chinese handcuff inspired Frank Zhang, another of the 7 main characters. She manage to make Arachne think that there is a fault in her weaving and makes Arachne climb in the contraption and, obviously, gets her stuck. Then the other 6 of the crew crash through the roof of Arachne's underground hideout and drag the Athena Parthenos on board of the flying ship. And the very, very end is too much of a spoiler to tell you.
 An event leading up to the climax is the battle in which Percy and Jason (2 of the 7 chosen to go on the quest) have to fight Otis and Ephialtes (two giants how were created to destroy Dionysus) in the Colosseum, the real one that was restored by Dionysus to see whether or not Jason and Percy were worthy of his help.
 I finished reading the book.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief - Post 5

Ave! (That is 'hello' in Latin, but I think it means 'hail' too, but whatever) As you might know already from my prev. posts or my title, the book I read for this book report (the third-quarter one) is 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief' by Rick Riordan. I read all 375 pages.

(Picture Source: www.the-filmreel.com. The three main characters, from left to right: Percy, Annabeth, Grover, from the movie.)

      I think the climax of this book is when the three main characters, Percy, Annabeth and Grover just escaped from the Underworld, and find out that Ares helped the lightning thief because of the war the stolen lightning bolt could bring among the gods. I think this part was the climax because Percy and his friends find out a lot about the quest and what caused the quest, where the lightning bolt was, who planned all of this, and because this part pretty much ended the quest except for bringing the lightning bolt to Olympus, to give it back to Zeus.
      In this part, Ares appears on the beach Percy and his friends were present, and tells Percy that he and his friends weren't supposed to come back out alive from the Underworld, which was part of Ares's plan to cause a big war among the gods.
      Ares also tells Percy everything about his plan, which was that first, he met the lightning thief and found out that he has stolen the lightning bolt. Ares was going to punish the thief, but the thief told Ares about the advantages for the god if he let him (the thief) go. Since Ares was the god of war, the thief told Ares that this could cause a big war among the gods, which was (sort of) an advantage to the god of war. So Ares made a plan to get things happen as the lightning thief and himself wanted, and let the lightning thief go. The plan was that Ares would give Percy the backpack/case carrying the lightning bolt, so Percy won't notice that the lightning bolt was in there. Then, Percy and his friends would go to the Underworld, where Hades was, who thought that Percy both stole the lightning bolt and Hades's symbol of power, the Helm of Darkness. Hades would kill Percy, Annabeth, and Grover, and find the lightning bolt inside the bag Ares gave Percy. Then the three most powerful gods: Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, will accuse and fight each other and cause a big war among the gods.
      Then, Percy gets angry and both Ares and Percy decide to duel, which is kind of not smart (stupid) of Percy because Ares was the war god, which means that he couldn't die, and Ares would be very skilled in fighting. But somehow Percy manages to injure the war god in the ankle with his sword (Riptide/Anaklusmos), which makes Ares angry, tells Percy that he made a dangerous enemy, and leave (what? He leaves?).
      I think that was the climax.
