Rick RiordanA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
How do the characters in the novel challenge the idea of categorizing or labeling individuals based on a single characteristic? How does breaking out of assumed roles affect the development of the characters? In what ways does the story encourage readers to challenge their own assumptions or labels about people?
Teaching Suggestion: This question deals with the themes of People Are More Than One Thing and People Fear Things That Are Different. Consider asking students to focus on an individual character for this discussion. You may want to use a jigsaw approach to divide the class into small groups, each focusing on one character. After their character analysis, students can regroup with members from other teams to compare how other characters experienced this theme. You may wish to connect this prompt to the earlier activity when students researched different Egyptian gods. They may have a more nuanced view of the gods after reading the novel, or it may have confirmed what they researched.
