T.O. [Terrell Owens ]

Pre reading analysis:  I think this book will  be about ownen's accomplishments as a player and his life story. I predict that the story will share how Owens got to the position he was in when he write the book. I think to better comprehend this book one has to have some background knowledge on the topic of football and the incident that took place in 2005 in the Philadelphia eagles organization. I chose this book because I am aware of the controversy that had taken place. I also chose this book because I have a passion for football and other sports. Terrell Owens being a former Bengal [my favorite team] intrigued me to select this book. I think that I will really like this book as I will get another perspective of the story. I already know what the media thinks of it since they have been sharing their opinion since the incident has occurred but with another perspective it will allow me to comprehend what happened a lot easier. I think that the situation for which he got suspended for was an extremely lame reason. He should have been suspended for asking the eagles to publicize his 100th career reception.

The House of Hades Main goals

After reading the first 3 chapters I noticed that there are a series of tasks that needs to be accomplished in order to achieve one main goal.

Main Goal: to stop Gaea from rising and destroy the world.

Tasks: 
1) to save Percy and Annabeth from Tartarus
2) to ensure peace between the roman and Greek demigods
3) get Diocletions sceptor and use his power to raise the army of the dead
4) get to Epirus 
5) prepare for the battle against the giants 

I predict that parcy and Annabeth will be able to escape from the goddess of the night and hat mansion using the mist. I also think that Damsen will come back and help delay tarturaus to permit Percy and Annabeth to escape through the doors of death. I think that the rest of the crew on the Argo II will be awaiting Percy and Annabeth's arrival through the doors of death. I think that Octavian will end up attacking the Greeks. I also think that Reyna will just be able to get the statue of Athena back to camp Half Blood just in time to ensure peace between the demigods.
