How does Annabeth make the chapter title Obedience school come true?

You're likely referring to the book "The Son of Neptune" from Rick Riordan's "Heroes of Olympus" series.

While Annabeth doesn't directly make the chapter title "Obedience School" come true, her actions contribute heavily to the overall theme of obedience explored in the chapter.

Here's how:

* The Camp Jupiter hierarchy: Annabeth, initially resistant to Camp Jupiter's strict hierarchy, eventually submits to it in order to save her friends. This submission is a form of obedience, even if it's forced by the situation.

* Taking orders: Annabeth finds herself repeatedly following orders from both Roman and Greek gods, including Juno and Hera. This highlights the need for obedience in a situation where deities hold ultimate authority.

* Challenging Authority: Although she ultimately obeys, Annabeth also questions and challenges the authority of both Camp Jupiter and the gods. This theme of challenging authority is what makes the chapter title so ironic.

The chapter title "Obedience School" is a bit of a misnomer. It suggests a more straightforward and complete submission to authority than what's actually happening. Annabeth's actions highlight the complexity of obedience, showing how even a strong-willed and independent character can be forced to conform to authority under certain circumstances.

It's important to note that the chapter title is meant to be somewhat ironic. While Annabeth does experience moments of obedience, the title doesn't accurately represent her overall defiance and struggle against the strict rules of Camp Jupiter and the divine powers.
