Based on the choices he made in this section, I have a great opinion of Percy. He chose to fight the Minotaur to save his friend's life, and he also fought his own hurt and exhaustion to drag Grover into safety. He says, "I was crying, calling for my mother, but I held on to Percy—I wasn't going to let him go." The only time Percy showed fear was when the monster was about to attack his mother, and I think anybody would show fear in that situation.
Thank you so much for dinner the other night, it was truly delicious. I enjoyed the food very much and am very glad you invited me. As a token of my appreciation, I would like to invite you to a small dinner party. Again, thank you for the food!
