B. Suggestions
After conducting the research, there are two suggestions. The first one is for future research. This study only analyses one character. Meanwhile there are
other characters who still can be analyzed. Therefore, the future researchers may conduct the same study on the other characters.
The second suggestion is for the readers of this thesis. People with dyslexia cannot be blamed. He wants to live normal like other. It is because the
researcher wants to the reader to become aware of people with dyslexia and people with single parent. People do not know how hard other people’s lives.
They should not make them worse by blaming them.

The major character of Percy in the novel Percy Jackson and Lightening Thief written by Rick Riordan experiences a child in single parent family life.
Percy is a trouble kid who cannot study well, concentrate well, does not have many friends, and moves six times in six years. Everything is bad for him and for
the study he never gets more than C-. It is because he suffers from dyslexia and ADHD. Percy lives with his mother and his step father but his step never treats
him well. Percy never knows his father. He is mad at his father why he leaves him and his mother so his mother lives with his step father who treats her like a slave.
He feels his life never goes well until his mother tells him about his father and also tells him about the place that his father want to send him. When he is on the
way to that place accompanying by his mother and Grover, they get attacks by PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
