Chapter 18: Annabeth Does Obedience School

Ok, the underworld huh! Well, If you were about to enter a world that was scarier than death, how would you feel? What thoughts are running through your head at that very moment? Comment below about your mindset at this point if you were one of our fearless/fearful characters.

Reading Questions

1.Why does the DOA security guard get annoyed with Percy?


2.How does Charon realize Percy and his friends are not really dead?



3.How does Percy finally convince Charon to take them into the elevator?



4.What does the River Styx look like? Why does it look this way?



5.Describe the entrance to the Underworld.




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?


7.What is Percy’s plan to get past Cerberus? Why doesn’t it work?





8.How does Annabeth save them? Why is she able to do this?


9.What does Percy realize about monsters at the end of the chapter?


10.Do you feel sorry for Cerberus? Would you have risked playing fetch with him, if you were Annabeth?

Follow-up Activities

1. Obedience School. Use the Internet to research how to train dogs. Did Annabeth do the right thing? Look up information on the Rottweiler breed in particular. How easy are they to train?
2. Play Rockabye Cerberus. Visit the Winged Sandals site at: http://abc.net.au/arts/wingedsandals/games/cerberus.htm. Try your hand at the Orpheus music game. Can you put Cerberus to sleep?
