Can you please find a passage that shows characterization in Percy Jackson Lightning Thief and use STEAl to show characterization of Percy

This resource focuses on the characterization of Percy Jackson, a character from Rick Riordan's 'The Lightning Thief.' It introduces the concept of characterization and the S.T.E.A.L. method, which stands for Speech, Thoughts, Effect on Others, Actions, and Looks. Students are guided to analyze an excerpt from the book, paying attention to what Percy says, thinks, and how he acts, as well as how other characters perceive him. The document also encourages deeper reflection on Percy’s personality traits such as impulsivity, loyalty, and sense of justice, enabling a comprehensive understanding of his character through textual evidence and analysis. The final section prompts students to reflect on how the S.T.E.A.L. method provides a richer insight into Percy beyond just his actions.
