Hey again,
So this time I will be posting about the three obstacles that the protagonist was facing. Percy's target in the book was to find the Golden Fleece which will heal the poisoned tree and rescue his friend, Grover who is disguised as a lady cyclops and about to get married to a Cyclops.

The first main problem before all is the fact that Percy, Annabeth or any of the other campers aren't allowed to get out of camp or go on a quest without being sent or having permission so with that as a rule you can't do much. They also have no transportation, no one to trust because Chiron is fired for now and the activities director and the camp director aren't liked by anyone.

The first obstacle is that when Percy gets transportation from Hermes which was just set up in order to find Luke, who hates his family and feels betrayed so he is helping Kronos and trying to wake him up and destroy mount Olympus. Percy, Annabeth and Tyson get on a ship that is run by Luke with people who have been hypnotized into a way to wake up Kronos. They get stuck, cant escape and are about to be killed or poisoned but Luke knew they would run away so he let them go through the whole journey to find the fleece for him, but did his plan go well?

The second obstacle is that when they were on their way to find the golden fleece they had to pass through the Sea Of Monsters which had many islands like one with the goddess Circe who tried to turn Percy into a Guinea pig. The other island had sirens on it who told the future and truth about you, and instead of following Percy's lead Annabeth decided to not cover her ears and hear the truth and future because apparently it makes you wiser. The biggest island was the Cyclops's island which was where Percy almost got drowned, Clarrise and Grover were about to get married to a cyclops and Annabeth got knocked down by the Cyclops.

After the Tyson, Percy, Clarrise and Annabeth got out of the islands and finally back safe into the shore of Miami, Clarrise told her friends the prophecy that she will complete the task alone and bring back the fleece. Percy decided to give her money so she would fly to the airport would the fleece and get it to camp before midnight. On the way, Luke comes a few minutes after Clarrise leaves to the airport and tries to get the fleece and is about to attack Percy. Then we shall see what happened.
