The way author explains how Percy’s mom “dies” is poetic and beautiful. Tt brings about an image in your head that’s hard to think of right off the bat. He explains it in such detail “Then with an angry roar, the monster closed his fists around my mother’s neck, and she dissolved before my eyes, melting into the light, a shimmering golden form, as if she were a holographic projection. A blinding flash, and she was simply… gone.” this is a beautiful representation of what’s happening.
