I agree that all of them did heroic deeds on Monster Island. Percy cut Clarisse and Grover out of the ropes Polyphemus tied them in. Percy also helped to try to kill Polyphemus. Annabeth put on her invisibility cloak and posed as Nobody, Polyphemus's enemy from centuries ago, to distract him so Percy could save Clarisse and Grover. Tyson retrieved the Golden Fleece from the tree and led the flocks of sheep away so the rest of them could get on the boat. Grover was the one who also helped to try to kill Polyphemus. Clarisse helped to kill Polyphemus too and cut the ropes on the bridge so they could get over without Polyphemus coming and she carried Annabeth to the boat.

CONTINUED
Percy: 4/5 I think Percy did a lot to help retrieve the Golden Fleece and help his friends while he was on Monster Island. Percy helped to fight Polyphemus and summoned the Hippocampi with Tyson.
Annabeth: 3.5/5 Annabeth did a few heroic things, but they were very important. Annabeth posed as Nobody and led Polyphemus away from the cave so Percy could get inside and save Clarisse and Grover.
Tyson: 4/5 Tyson led the sheep of doom away from the rest of them so they could get to the boat safely. Tyson also retrieved the Golden Fleece from the tree without getting hurt. He also helped Percy summon the Hippocampi.
Grover: 1.5/5 The only thing that Grover did was try to kill Polyphemus. Otherwise, he didn't really do anything.
Clarisse: 3/5 Clarisse tried to kill Polyphemus too and she cut the ropes on the bridge so they could get over safely.

Those are good rankings but i think percy and tyson should get 5's because they did many things.

I'm not sure I agree with your evaluation of Grover. He managed to trick Polyphemus for days while guiding Percy in his dreams. That seems like an awfully challenging task considering that cyclopses love to eat satyrs.

I would rank percy and tyson 5 because they were the only ones doing everything and i think no one else helped out.
I would rank annabeth a 4 because she helped percy save clarisse and grover and i think that is very important.
I would rank grover and clarisse a 2 because they did'nt do anything important espacially grover.

They all do accomplish heroic deeds. They all work together to retrieve the fleece and escape the island. No one leaves another behind and they sacrifice things for everyone's well being and safety.
PERCY: Percy attaches himself to a sheep, unites Clarisse of the ropes, distracts the cyclops while Grover takes Annabeth away( she has a big cut and was dropped on her head), injures the cyclops, runs with Clarisse, wraps Annabeth in the fleece(to help the cut), defeat the cyclops and has a chance to kill him for good(chooses not too since the cyclops reminds him of Tyson) , helps Tyson to try and defeat the cyclops a second time, makes the cyclops thinks he destroyed everyone(the ship sinks), gets everyone a hippocampus and helps them reach manhattan, gives Clarisse the fleece and all the money so she's the hero (he remembers what ares's visit with clarrise)
ANNABETH: gets idea to attach Percy to sheep and go invisible to tease cyclops, teases cyclops and allows Percy to save Charisse and Grover, gets dropped and lands on head for team.
TYSON : shoves a big rock down the cyclops throat causing him to fall back, pushes boulders away to protect Percy, distracts sheep while everyone runs to the boat, helps Percy at an attempt to defeat the cyclops, gives Percy the idea to get the hippocampus's.
GROVER: tries to help clear rise and Percy destroy cyclops with a sheep bone, carries Annabeth across the bridge and attends to her cut.
CLARISSE: helps Percy injure the cyclops, carries Annabeth to the ship, cut the rope bridge.
I would give Percy a 9/10 because he did many things but he also got a lot of help from Tyson, Clarisse,Annabeth and Grover
I would give Annabeth a 5/10 because she did risk her life by teasing the cyclops, but then she was to hurt to do anything else.
I would give Tyson a 7/10 because he shows up late but he does give good ideas that save everyone and his strength protects Percy.
I would give Grover a 3/10 because all he does is carry Annabeth across the bridge
I would give Clarisse a 8/10 because she is brave,strong and has the confidence to get the fleece back safely.

I agree. They all did heroic deeds. Everyone was brave and never let someone behind. They use alot of teamwork
Percy: 4//5 because he did many heroic thing. He was the one who got the Golden Fleece. He save Grover and save Charisse when she was tired but by Polyphemus. He distracted Polyphemus when Grover was getting Annabeth, put the Golden Fleece on her, tries killing the cyclops, and helps Tyson fight Polyphemus the second time, puts everyone on the hippocampus ad give Clarisse the Golden Fleece to get all the credit.
Annabeth:3/5 she did a few heroic deeds. She goes invisible to tease the cyclops, give Percy the idea to attach on the sheep, and she put herself in danger with Polyphemus just for Percy to save Grover and Clarisse.
Tyson: 3/5 Tyson did a few heroic deed as well. He defeated Percy while fight Polyphemus, defeated Percy with a boulder coming at him, he gave Percy the idea of hippocampus and tries to distract the sheep while everyone else runs away.
Clarisse:3/5 Clarisse did some heroic things in the book. She help Percy injure Polyphemus, she carried Annabeth to the ship and cut the ropes to the bridge.
Grover: 1/5 Grover didn't do much in the book. He tried to kill the Polyphemus, he carried Annabeth because of her cuts and he tried to talk to Percy through his dream and gave him the exact location.

I disagree, Percy Jackson and Tyson did lots of the work and accomplished this mission. Percy Jackson defeated Polyphemus with the help of Tyson, Percy Jackson had the idea of putting the golden fleece around Annabeth and Percy Jackson used the sea to help him defeat Polyphemus when they were in the sea. I would rank Percy Jackson a 5/5. Tyson also helped Percy Jackson with the by shooting the rock into Polyphemus mouth like a basketball so Percy Jackson would not get eaten alive, Tyson told the killer sheep to go away and got the golden fleece and Tyson called for Rainbow when they were in the sea. I would rank Tyson a 5/5 as well. Annabeth did a lot of things during the mission too. Annabeth put the invisibility cap on to distract Polyphemus and called him names and Annabeth helped to injure Polyphemus. I would rank Annabeth a 3/5. Grover and Clarisse did not really do anything on this mission, Grover was the one who needed saving and Clarisse messed up...A LOT, during the mission. Even though Grover and Clarisse did help to injure Polyphemus, it didn't really work. I would rank Grover a 2.5/5 and Clarisse a 1.5/5.

Percy: i give Percy a 5 because he got into the cave with no invisibility cape and quickly in tied Clarisse and Grover. He also kept fighting Polyphemus with riptide. And Percy helped Tyson stand up against Polyphemus using his waves.
Tyson: I also give Tyson a 5. This is because he used all his strength to save Percy. He was willing to stand up alone against Polyphemus. I think that he a very big act especially because he is fighting against his own kind Tyson also led the sheep away and retrieved the golden fleece.
Annabeth: I give annabeth a 4. This is because Annabeth was willing to distract Polyphemus alone which was a big risk. Even when she was hurt she still was willing to help.
Grover: I give Grover a 3. This is because he distracted Polyphemus and he knew the consequences. He communicated with percy through his dreams and helped i the fight against Polyphemus.
Clarisse: i give Clarisse a 2 this is because she helped in the fight but not as much as the others. Her big mouth also got them in trouble but she still was willing to help when she had the chance.

Percy: I would give him a 5 because he was the one who got the hippocampus. If it wasn't for him they wouldn't be on the ship, and gave Clarrise money so she fly to Camp Half blood to save the tree.
Tyson:I would give him a 5 because he save the ships boiling room because it on fire, and he save percy from the fire balls.
Annebeth: I would give her a 5 because she knew about the fleece and without her knowledge the tree would be dead and the camp will no longer have a border. She did distract the giant to save her friends.
Grover: I would give him a 0 because he didn't do anything heroic .
Clarrise:I would give her a 5 because she got a ship and let the 3 join her. She got the fleece and saved the borders.

I agree that all Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Clarisse did heroic deeds at the Sea of Monsters Island. I would rate them overall a 4/5 as a whole team as a hero, because not all of them did something to indicate them as a hero.
RATINGS FOR EACH CHARACTER IN THE CHAPTER:
Percy Jackson: I would rate him as a 4.5/5, because he was the one who saved Clarisse, and Grover from the sealed cave, tried to kill Polyphemus with Tyson, and he summoned the Hippocampi with Tyson, and he also cut the ropes, which Polyphemus tied Clarisse, and Grover to be stuck/ trapped in the sealed cave.
Annabeth: I would rate her as a 2/5, because she was the one who distracted Polyphemus, to let Percy save Clarisse and Grover from the sealed cave.
Tyson: I would rate him as a 3.8/5, because he helped Percy, to defeat Polyphemus, he led the sheep of doom away from the rest of them so that Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Clarisse can go to the boat safely. Tyson also took the Golden Fleece from the oak tree's branch without getting hurt, and he also helped Percy summon the Hippocampi.
Grover: I would rate him as a 1/5, because he didn't really do as much to be a hero. The only thing he did was try to kill Polyphemus. Otherwise the whole time, he was stuck with Clarisse in the cave.
Clarisse: I would rate her as a 2.8/5, because she chopped the rope, so that Polyphemus couldn't be able to pass, and so that also for them to pass safely, and she also tried to kill Polyphemus with the rest. She also carried Annabeth to the boat, as a sign of a hero (saving someone's life).

Percy had gone and hidden under a sheep for an uncomfortable journey but he had untied Clarisse from the ropes, distracts the cyclops so Grover would have a quick chance to go and rescue Annabeth because she had an extreme cut, then he hurts the cyclops, gets the fleece and wraps Annabeth in it to help heal her cut, he gets a chance to kill the cyclops once and for all but doesnt because it reminds him of Tyson and when arrive back to Manhattan he gives Clarrise the stuff because he remembers when Ares was talking to her.
Grover had tricked Polyphemus for days thinking that he was a lady cyclops and was contacting Percy through his dreams and giving hints to where he was, he had gone and carried Annabeth acros the bridge to heal her.
Annabeth had taken the risky deed of tricking Polyphemus into thinking she was " nobody ", she had come up with all the strategies like Percy going under the sheep and she had taken a hard hit and a big cut for the team.
Tyson had shoved a big rock down Polyphemus's throat which mad him fall back, he helped Percy defeat Polyphemus, he had used boulders to protect Percy and distracted the man eating sheep while everyone was going to the ship.
Clarisse had cut the bridge rope so Polyphemus wouldnt be able to go after them, helped Percy injure Polyphemus and had xcarried Annabeth to the ship.
Percy = 4/5 because he had done alot of things to save his friends and the courage and bravery he has considering Kronos is after him.
Grover = 4/5 becasue he had sent Percy those dreams which was difficult and had actions of being a hero considering him tricking Polyphemus that he was his wife to stay alive.
Annabeth = 4.5/5 becasue Annabeth was the brains of this whole plan and she had taken the huge risk of tricking Polyphemus.
Tyson = 3.5/5 because he had defended Percy and was fighting his own kind which takes alot of courage.
Clarisse = 2/5 because she also did cause trouble like she gave away Grover's disguise which did not help but she still did some hero actions.
