Myth Outline

1.       Exposition: Percy Jones is a 14 year old boy that lives in Valencia, California. He is 2 meters tall, brown hair with blue eyes and he lives with his mother. His father died when he was 3 and he really has no family to lean on. Since his mother is always at work, Percy depends on his best friend, Sam Romy. Sam is a fit, but rather short boy for his age. He is 1.50 meters tall and is captain of the soccer team. They met when they were 6 in elementary school. Percy and Sam both do well at school, but while sam has no problem with sports, Percy sucks at them. He always liked basketball and he finally got into the team last year. The problem with that is that Alex Stan, Percy´s arch enemy, is also in the team. Alex is picked on at home by his foster parents. His real parents left him for adoption when he was 10 so it has really affected him. Everyone thinks that that id the only reason why he is such a bully. He is trying to get back for his mysery.

3.       Rising Action: Percy didn’t get a spot on any game except one of the season. Of course Alex was behind this, so Percy got even more frustrated.  He was losing his mind between basketball, Alex and academic work. He was forgetting about school and only thinking on basketball. This was getting him worried because he tried hard to get his grades up, but his fury against the team stopped him.

4.       Climax: When they were in a game, they started out badly and Alex lost it. Percy was worried for the team so he didn’t actually try to get in, because he knew he wasn’t playing well. He was worried and started praying. Finally, Alex blew. He got furious and started screaming at players. That’s when Percy took the lead, and when the coach was calming Alex, he asked if he could play. He didn’t actually ask. He felt a power mass grab him and make him ask. This was Zeus´ work, using the LEGO figure as the power mass.

He was about to exit when a voice stopped him. Zeus was pretending to be his conciseness and made him stay. He gave him a godly power which actually made him play well.
