Percy Jackson - Chapter 18

1. Why does the DOA security guard get annoyed with Percy? Because he Percy thought his name was Chiron, not Charon.
2. How does Charon realise Percy and his friends are not really dead? Because they gave him Drachmas, and he couldn't read his name correctly so he realised he was a demi-god.
3. How does Percy finally convince Charon to take them into the elevator? Percy bribes him and said he would try and get Hades to give him a pay raise.
4. What does the River Styx look like? Why does it look this way? It was full of bones and oily water the air was misty and the water was dead fish dolls and other weird things. It is polluted with hopes and dreams and diplomas.
5. Describe the entrance to the Underworld. It looked in between a airport security and a jersey turnpipe. there were three entreces under one big archway. there are metal detectors and cameras everywhere, Ceberus is nowhere to be seen.
6. If you were standing in that line, would you rather choose EZ Death and go straight to Asphodel, or risk being judged for your actions on earth? I would take the risk.
7. What is Percy’s plan to get past Cerberus? Why doesn’t it work? To get Ceberus to play fetch. It doesn't work because the stick went right into the river.
8. How does Annabeth save them? Why is she able to do this? She had an doberman when she was little so she knew how to work with dogs.
9. What does Percy realise about monsters at the end of the chapter? Everybody needs a little attention sometimes.
10. Do you feel sorry for Cerberus? Would you have risked playing fetch with him, if you were Annabeth? Yes, because he wanted to play. I would have risked playing fetch because it was a good idea, it just didn't work for Percy because the stick landed in the river.
