Zeus, King of the Olympians!

Introduction

     Have you ever heard of Greek mythology? If you have you may have heard of Zeus. He was a determined, powerful Greek god. He wouldn't have been the ruler if it wasn't for his determination. His father, Cronus, ate his Zeus's brothers and sisters knowing that one of his children would overthrow Cronus's kingdom. Fortunately, Zeus's mother hid Zeus and gave Cronus a rock to eat instead. As Zeus grew up he freed three monsters that would help him defeat his father. As a gift of freedom the monsters gave Zeus the power of lightning. Later, Zeus gave his father something to eat which made him throw up his brothers and sister. Together they defeated Cronus and gained control of the kingdom.

What Do I Think?

     I think this is the best greek god of all. After all, he is the king of the olympians. I would respect him greatly knowing that he could electrocute me in less than a second. Just look at the picture above. Doesn't that intimidate you in the slightest way? Well it scares me as much as a mouse cornered by the most monstrous cat in the world. Although, I think Zeus is a good roll model too. He was determined and because of that freed his siblings and even got the power of lightning! Isn't Zeus just so cool!?!

Your Turn

     I did my part so now you do yours. Did you hear when I wrote about respecting Zeus? Well, if you did, in the comments below please write about whether you would respect him or not. It doesn't have to be long, either. Well, see you later!

A Summary

     Down A Dark Hall is a Gothic novel. A mysterious and scary book as this shouldn't be kept unread, you know? Well, if you haven't read it yet then this may give you the idea of what you are missing. It all started when Kit wanted to go to a boarding school with her friend,Tracy.

What Do I Think?

     This story was an addictive, bone tingling book. I don't usually like books, but this one was different. With my teacher reading it to us half the time with perfect dialogue this book got interesting in deed. In other words, a book this good shouldn't be kept lying around. To be honest this book scared a little, but what's the point of your life if you don't get scared? Don't you want to come across something at one point and just scream your hart off? It happened to me just a couple of days ago. The point is that you should read it and it doesn't matter if you get a little scared. So when you finish reading this get to the nearest Down a Dark Hall book and start reading (once you like this blog, that is).
