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.
Use these questions or activities to help gauge students’ familiarity with and spark their interest in the context of the work, giving them an entry point into the text itself.
Short Answer
Think about adventure stories with which you are familiar. What are the different types of friendships portrayed in these stories? Are friends close-knit and supportive from the beginning, or must they build trust and overcome initial differences? Why are stories about friendship and adventure popular with a wide array of audiences?
Teaching Suggestion: This question provides an opportunity to introduce the theme The Bond of Friendship. Students might work in pairs to brainstorm adventure titles before working independently on the remaining questions. Discussion of familiar examples from pop culture such as the Harry Potter series or The Wizard of Oz might be helpful in inspiring additional titles for students to reference.
