This weekend, please complete Journal #4 by listening to this podcast  [It is an interview of Rick Riordan (author of the Percy Jackson series) by Sean Hemingway (Associate curator in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities at the Metropolitan Museum of Art).] 

Journal #4 Questions:

• What is the appeal of mythology according to Riordan? What does Hemingway mean by the "mutability" of myths? Give your own example of "mutability".
• Why did Riordan make Percy the son of Poseidon rather than Zeus? 
• Give examples of the influence of Greek or Roman mytnology in the present day world.
• Why did Riordan set the first scene in his novel at the Metropolitan Museum?
• What connection does Riordan draw between Greek gods, comic book superheroes and today's teenagers?
