Describe the scene where annabeth and Percy enounter the sirens?

Answer 1

Percy and Annabeth are sailing by. Annabeth says that whoever survives hearing the sirens will supposedly grow wiser. She therefore instructs Percy to tie her to the mast tightly and for him to put wax in his ears so that he cannot hear the sirens' call and to ignore Annabeth's pleas to be released. Unfortunately, Percy forgot to disarm Annabeth, and she jumps off the boat, swimming towards her doom. Percy follows her and is barely able to save them both. Annabeth is later horrified at this and apologizes to Percy. However, Percy saw what Annabeth saw that was so appealing: Her parents along with Luke having a picnic together and beckoning her. Annabeth then realizes what her weakness is: Hubris, or the believe that one could do something better than the person who actually does it. In this case, believing she could get her parents back together and redeem Luke. Percy and Annabeth then ponder on what Percy's weakness is.

Answer 2

Annabeth wanted to hear the sirens because it was said if you survived you became wiser,, but did not want to be lured out of the boat to her death. She had Percy tie her to one of the masts of the boat so she could listen without dying, while Percy plugged his ears. Percy forgot to take Annabeth's knife, and so she cut herself free and started to swim to shore. Percy managed to get to her and encase them both in an underwater bubble before Annabeth was hurt. When she was listening to the sirens, Annabeth saw a beautiful city that she had designed, and her mother Athena, her father, Luke, and herself having a picnic on a hill with a beautiful view of Annabeth's city. When Percy and Annabeth reached the ship again and got far enough away from the sirens, Annabeth was back to normal.
