She means that being a black southerner sucked, but it sucked even worse in the hot summer afternoons, which were hot and humid and uncomfortable and by which time everybody had been working hard all day, than in the mornings, when it was more comfortable and people had just gotten out of bed and weren't completely awake and aware of their lousy situation in life.

I need the main ideas for the book The house of hades real quick can any one help
Elanso [62]

At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy’s instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea’s forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?

They have no choice. If the demigods don’t succeed, Gaea’s armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.
