Summary of Chapter 10:
The camp lends Percy mortal money and gold drachmas. Annabeth packs her cap (a birthday gift from Athena) and a knife, while Grover fills his backpack with scrap metal and apples to eat. He also brings reed pipes, but he can only play two songs. At Thalia’s pine tree, Chiron meets the trio and introduces Argus, the head of security with eyes all over his body. Luke races up the hill to give Percy a pair of tennis shoes, which he says were a gift from Hermes. When he says “maia,” they sprout wings. Percy is touched—he thought Luke might resent him for getting so much attention. Luke hugs everyone and leaves, and Percy teases Annabeth for blushing. Percy’s reaction to Luke’s gesture shows that Percy is acutely aware of how social relationships at camp play out. He understands that he and Luke might be rivals, and so it’s a significant gesture for Luke to give Percy such a nice gift. Being so much older, Luke bridges the gap between friend and mentor, which makes Percy even happier to receive this kind of positive attention from Luke. To begin reading Chapter 11. You will have Thursday and Friday to complete the chapter.
