Similes and MetahphorsThe charaters in the Mark of Athena make fun of each other by comparing the others with something else.
"Please, Percy...change your clothes. You smell like you've been run over by an electric horse." |
AllusionRiordan doesn't use a lot of allusion but when he does it only enhances the story even more. "Hercules, huh? Percy frowned..." That guy was like the Starbucks of Ancient Greece. Everywhere you turn, there he is." |
Figurative LanguageIn the Mark of Athena Figurative Language is used or humor, or it is most
of the time. "Never seen Jason fly before," Percy grumbled, "He looks like a blonde superman." |
PersonificationRiordan mostly uses personification when dealing with sounds. And his choice of words make it even better. "Annabeth's ear buzzed." |
Point of ViewEvery chapter is named after a character and that chapter will be in that specific character's first person point of view. This makes the story unique.
