<em> "The Lightning Thief"</em> is a fantasy-adventure novel written by Rick Riordan and published in 2005. <u>Perseus "Percy" Jackson</u> is the main character of the story whose best friend is <u>Grover Underwood.</u>
Grover Underwood had to bring his best friend, Percy, safely to Camp Half-Blood and he also had to protect him at his boarding school. What actually happened was that Grover lost Percy in New York City so Percy was the one who brought his best friend into the camp.
Poe is using a detailed description of the uncomfortable situation that creates a level of suspense to lead the reader to come up with a conclusion of where he was and what was the result of the previous circumstances that took the narrator to that place.
