Synthesis Page- Percy Jackson 5 Heroes of Olympus

One of the main characters

In the beginning, Leo is the reluctant hero	He jokes around and is not serious about many things, he is also annoying and he doesn’t fight things close up. For him it was important to joke a lot, especially when he wasn’t happy, to keep his friend’s spirits up
In the middle of the story, Leo changes into a more serious character	He learns more about his fate and his destiny, which is troubling to him. He starts a secret plan in which there is a terrible fate for one of the 7. This makes him sober up and formulate a plan that has the least casualties possible.
At the end of the story, Leo changes again into the tragic hero	He sacrifices himself to destroy Gaea, the earth goddess, who is evil. He blows up Gaea with his dragon, while a comet of Imperial Gold soared towards him. He even made sure no one was near him so that no one else would die in the massive explosion. “This sounded exactly like the sneaked, twisted, annoying, noble thing Leo would do”.
