while reading my book "the lightning thief", i thought about justice in many different ways. first of all, theres this kid named percy, who is the child of posiedon, on of the big three. by this i mean he is the son of one of the most powerful greek gods, this means that he is constantly attacked by monsters because of his powerful smell (all half-gods have it). the thing is, that the three great greek gods made a pact after world war two, that they would not have anymore children beacause of tha enourmous amount of trouble they cause witht their powers. the injustice here is that percy has already comitted a crime beacause posiedon broke the rules, he is a criminal just for being alive. so now, all the other gods want to kill him. this is injustice beacause it is unfair that percy has to pay the price for what his father did. it is also unfair because percy hasnt really done anything wrong, he didnt even know that he was a half blood until he turned thirteen.
another injustice in this book is not targeted at just percy, but all the half gods in general. the thing is that there is a camp that all half bloods must go to if the want to train to learn to fight off the monsters on your own. once you arrive at thge camp you are either undetermined (your godly parent hasnt claimed you yet) or determined(you have been claimed). the injustice here is that some campers stay undetermined all their life because their godly parent forgot that they sired a child and they forget about their own child.
this scenario makes me think about injustice in the real world, more specifically.. orphans. some orphans are never claimed their entire life. imagine what it must be like to live a lihout anyone to comfort you or help you in rough times. very unfair. a tre example of injustice...
