Prompt: Percy does not believe in mythological creatures at first. What circumstances
and information convince Percy that mythological creatures are real? Use relevant and
specific evidence from the text to support your answer.

In the book Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan, Percy does
not believe in mythical creatures at first, but starts to believe when he starts
to battle them. Medusa is an example of a mythical creature that Percy
battles. In the text on page 181, it says Medusa is a menace, shes evil.
Id kill her myself but This shows Percy is starting to believe in
mythical monsters because he has to fight and kill medusa. In the text Percy
is hungry and he goes to get burgers then medusa tricks them and tries to
turn them to stone. Another mythical creature Percy faced is Mrs.
Dodds. In the text on page 13, it states Mrs.Dodds lunged at me. With
a yelp, I dodged and felt talons slashed the air next to my ear. This shows
Percy is starting to believe in mythical creatures because at one moment
she was his math teacher and know she has talons. Mrs. Dodds is trying to
kill him with her talons so he had to fight her. Percy believes in mythical
creatures because he battles Medusa and Mrs. dodds.
