Luke gave Percy a pair of winged shoes that were cursed to fly Percy to the Underworld when he wore them. Percy can't use them because the sky is Zeus's domain, and Percy's dad is Poseidon. Zeus and Poseidon don't get along, so Percy doesn't want to anger Zeus by flying.
In my opinion, the second main argument in "The Human Drift" is that human wandering across the planet, back and forth, has always been fueled by fear, while motivated by the search of food (as the first argument says). It is a primal fear that, if you don't eat, you will end up in someone else's stomach. Here is a nice excerpt that illustrates this argument: "Dominated by fear, and by their very fear accelerating their development, these early ancestors of ours, suffering hunger-pangs very like the ones we experience to-day, drifted on, hunting and being hunted, eating and being eaten, wandering through thousand-year-long odysseys of screaming primordial savagery, until they left their skeletons in glacial gravels, some of them, and their bone-scratchings in cave-men's lairs."
It is a 14th century novel written by Giovanni Boccaccio which consists of <span>a hundred stories of love, adventure and surprising twists of fortune which later inspired Chaucer, Keats and Shakespeare.

Explanation:
An appositive is a noun or pronoun set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. When the appositive is used with words that modify it, we get an appositive phrase.
An appositive phrase usually follows the word it refers to. It's often framed by commas, except when it's considered to be an essential part of the sentence.
Here are some examples:
- <em>Niagara Falls</em><em>, </em><em><u>the natural wonder in New York</u></em><em>, is not the tallest in the country</em>. - the underlined part is an appositive, and the part written in bold letters is the part of the sentence the appositive explains. As we can see, the appositive explains what Niagara Falls are.
- <em>My </em><em>brother </em><em><u>Jim </u></em><em>lives in Kansas.</em> - names preceded by words that describe their <em>status/title</em> are usually appositions. In cases such as this one, they are considered essential, which is why they are not framed by commas.
