If there were adults on the island then the adults would be telling them what to do and they wouldn't make their own decisions.
As a huge fan of these books, I can help you here... BUT... I won't spoil it for you!
Mr. Brunner had the expectations that Percy Jackson should know the answers about the Greek gods and Latin, even when he didn't. He always looked disappointed when Percy didn't know the answer.
Percy though these expectations were unfair because he thinks that he is just a "stupid kid" and doesn't know anything, and can't be the perfect student. How wrong he is, I won't say.
Hope this helps! Have a great day!
Answer:
a. Strongly Opposed slavery.
Explanation:
Reading the context, you will hear negative connotations towards slavery. You might even hear empathy for the runaway slave.
I think the answer would be setting because people who read the sentence can relate to the characters in the book. So the setting would cause the rader to think about their own lives.
