Theme
Life has many struggles, which can be overcome with determination. You can accomplish more with your friends rather than being alone.
Theme in my life
Everyday I come across different obstacles not similar to the ones demigods face in the novel but in real life situation. It requires sincere determination to ace a test or win a tennis game. With hard work and perseverence just like demigods I can achieve my goals to do better and overcome difficult situations.
Friends are there for moral support, but unlike demigods, our life does not rely in the hands of others. One requires friendship to do many things like playing sports or taking down a bully. With help of friends, I can acheive my goals. When in need I can always count on my friends to be by my side.
