Social Justice, Actions, and Change

Have you ever feel like things are happening at the wrong time?
Like you do something and someone else gets all the credit.
In Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Sea of Monsters
by Rick Riordan that exactly happened. I first thought that
everything was going to go fine until later in the book where
action usually occurs. I was surprised that trouble had happened
so fast. I mean right after Percy came out of his school attacked by
Laistrygonians a group of giant cannibals he witnesses his camp
being attacked.
I noticed that even though Tyson and him saved the camp, the new
activity director gave the credit to Percy's rival Clarisse. Percy didn't
have any power to do anything and if he tried it would just mean
punishment.Everyone is different in a way and not the same. It didn't
assume that everyone is happy and good.
Some bad things that happens in the book is like the environment and
how animals and plants get sick. That is the same in the real world but
not with a golden fleece able to fix it.
