Answer:
Learning the king expected his statue to crumble
Explanation:
I believe from a king and his peoples view a respectable towering statue of the one who led them to great triumphs, now expected to collapse to the ground can be a good additional lesson. I try to imagine the situation, what would I do? What would I feel? Before I lay a city left to ruins, the wind picks up the soil from the once lively dwellings. The population nowhere in sight, the statue of the one looked up upon now hidden underneath the muck.
What's your question about the Lightning Theif?
Answer:
Yep, if you want to write about some ancient people and make your writing sound mature and all then read it to an audience of children, they most likely won't understand. Or if you write about a butterfly named, Joe, who flies around town then lives happily ever after, and present that at a job interview.... good luck with that. So, the audience when writing is very important.
Hope that helps and have a great day!
