Answer:
Unfair treatment and cheap labor made it nearly impossible for immigrants to achieve the American dream.
But Percy is terrified to be diving 600 feet, straight into the muddy waters of the Mississippi River.
The river catches Percy comfortably.
His chimera bite heals, and he feels the venom leaving him.
He realizes that he is completely dry, even though he's underwater. He also realizes that he can light a cigarette lighter underwater. Cooool.
Everything he touches becomes dry.
He also realizes that he is breathing. Underwater.
Percy hears his mom's voice in his head urging him to remember his manners, so he thanks his dad for helping him.
Percy sees Riptide in the muddy river bottom near him.
A voice says, "Percy, take the sword. Your father believes in you" (14.20).
He sees a spirit in the water. She is the color of water, and she has green eyes.
The water spirit tells Percy she is simply a messenger. She says that his mom's "fate is not as hopeless as you believe," and tells him to go to the Santa Monica beach when he reaches Los Angeles (14.24).
The water spirit messenger calls Percy "brave one" and repeats that he must go to the beach in Santa Monica. As she's leaving, she warns him not to trust any gifts.
Percy surfaces to find chaos all around him: "every emergency vehicle in St. Louis was surrounding the Arch. Police helicopters circled overhead. The crowd of onlookers reminded me of Times Square on New Year's Eve" (14.40).
Percy keeps a low profile and hooks up with Grover and Annabeth.
News reporters are reporting that Percy Jackson caused the explosion on the top of the Arch. He is now a fugitive of the law.
The three head back to their Amtrak train, which is due to depart for Denver very soon.

Introduction:
The Leader and the Led is a poem crafted by Niyi Osundare in form of a fable. It tells a story of an animal kingdom lacking leadership based on rivalry and imperfection.
Most powerful animal in the kingdom saw the reason and right to become the ruler yet their power seemed to be their flaws (the reasons for them not to be voted). The trouble prolonged until the “Forest Sage” (in line18 stanza 9) proffered solution.
According to the forest sage, strength alone isn’t the yardstick for becoming a ruler. The balance of strength and weakness is the needed quality for any animal that will rule the pack well.
Line 17 – 20:
“’Our need calls for a hybrid of habits”,
Proclaims the Forest Sage,
“A little bit of a lion
A little bit of a lamb"
Tough like a tiger, compassionate like a doe
Poet:
Transparent like a river, mysterious like a lake’” The poet Niyi Osundare was born 1947 in Ikere Ekiti, Ekiti state, Nigeria. Professor Niyi Osundare is a teacher of language, a mild activist and a member of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA).
