I… did not notice that. I wonder if that was on purpose.
Also, in HOO, take the first words of the first book, and the second of the second, etc.
The Lost Hero
The Son of Neptune
The Mark of Athena
The House of Hades

The Son of Hades.

AND THEN IN

The Blood of Olympus.

WE FIND SOMETHING OUT ABOUT NICO.

Wow! I never noticed that! awesome!

I have a question. I don't mean to insult anyone, or Nico, but why does everyone love him? I don't hate him, but I don't really love him either. It has nothing to do with his feelings, just to make that clear, I just really want to know if someone can give me an answer to why everyone loves him. It's driving me crazy. Thanks

To admit, I kinda don't like him. I mean, Percy told him that he would try his best to keep Bianca safe, not to keep her safe. There's a big difference between trying your best and doing. And for some reason, Nico didn't realize that (I also don't like the name Nico >.< )

“I won't tell on you,” He said. "But you have to promise to keep my sister safe.

Percy Jackson wrote:

“I… That's a big thing to promise, Nico, on a trip like this. Besides, she's got Zoe, Grover, Thalia-”

Nico Di Angelo wrote:

“Promise,” He insisted.

Percy Jackson wrote:

“I'll do my best. I promise that.”

Nico Di Angelo wrote:

“Get going then!” He said. “Good luck!”

Sorry if none of that worked, it was long, and it was also part of the book, I have it here in my lap right now! >.<

He was being pretty irrational, but I can get that—your sister died and you want to find someone to blame. I'm not saying that what he did was right (in any way, shape, or form,) but you've gotta sympathize with him. But also, it was foretold with the oracle, so it was practically pre-determined.

Also, on a side note, if you press the check mark (up where the “bold,” “italic,” “underline,” etc. is written), you can check to see if what you wrote was shown the way you preferred. And the “quote” option is usually for quoting Scratch users, but you can also use it for quotes from books.

You're right. I guess in some way that Nico really hasn't learned that every problem in his life has to be someone else's fault, not mine.
Nico changed though. He found out and was really nice towards the end of Percy Jackson.

I know. That's part of the “character development” that Rick incorporated, which is part of what makes a story awesome. And he was really nice—after he betrayed Percy. I love his character. Honestly. I just wanted to point that out—he does have flaws.

Everyone has flaws. It's life, and that's the good thing about Rick Riordan. he Makes it realistic, like real life.

you're right. just checked the books, and sure enough, it was. I think it was on purpose.

GUESS WHAT. Okay, I was passing this group in the hall. They were talking about Percy Jackson, so, naturally I prepared to join in and shoot holes in all of their claims. Because that's what I do. I freaking love to debate.

Anyway, this STUPID FREAKING IDIOT said, “Oh, guys, have you seen the Percy Jackson movie? It's pretty awesome, right?” And I'm just like: "Excuse me, mister? I think you have something wrong with your brain. Have you even read the Percy Jackson series?“ And he said, ”Uh… yeah. Most of it. Why?“ ”What about the Heroes of Olympus?“ ”Huh? What's that?" Wow. Just wow.

Dear humanity,
You're raising a strange generation here.
Sincerely,
PERCY JACKSON (Like I was going to tell you my real name. Ha ha, no.)

I could go on… and on… and on… and on… and on… and on… and on… and on… and on… and on… and on… and on… and on… (Yay for Command-C and Command-V!) but I don't really feel like it, so yeah.

Gal I love debating too, especially about the Percy Jackson movies and stuff, Oh my gods if you think that the PJ movies are unrelative, check out Disney's Hercules. I swear you're face will turn red and fire will burst out of ur head. It ticks me off soo much

I know!!!! I totally freaked out!!! I mean, seriously, disney!!! Hire someone who knows some greek myths!

It's like the opposite of the real myth! Here's the basis of the real myth: Zeus has Hercules with some mortal, and he has demigod powers, but Hera is really mad at Zeus and hates Hercules, so she drops him off Mt. Olympus, and puts him through 12 labors. Zeus takes pity on young Hercules and so he allows him to be a god on Mount Olympus when he dies. Later, Hercules meets a girl named Megera and they have 2 children, later, Hera gets mad because Hercules made it that far and so she drives Hercules insane, and Hercules ends up murdering Meg and their children. When Hercules becomes sane again, he realizes what he did and goes to Apollo and tries to find answers to why he did that and if he can bring them back. Apollo says no and so Hercules commits suicide by jumping off a pile of burning logs and goes up to Mt. Olympus. Here's the Disney Story: The muses tell the tale of a baby god, son of Hera and Zeus, Hera LOVES Hercules and so does Zeus, but Hades doesn't so he turns him mortal and then Herc. Still has the powers of a god, so he fights monsters that a smoking Hades sets out for him by a chess board… (Pardon the pun). Herc. Falls in love with a girl named Meg and she dies because the fates cut her string. (Yeah, sure, learn your myths dudes) Then Hercules goes to exchange his soul for Meg's and he's immortal and so then he can go to Mt. Olympus again and then he decides to stay with Meg as a mortal. The end. Lol, Please list 100 things wrong with that. Also, Helios (the titan) drives the sun chariot OwO, PROBLEMSSSS

Seriously? These people suck at following myths. Though it's probably because they don't want to ‘damage the oh-so-innocent little kids’ by making him insane. But seriously? They should make another version (a Teen version) where they actually follow the myth. So hard, right? (Plus, kids are already damaged by the YouTube ads… and anime… and ads in general, so…

I know this is totally off topic, but Disney is just really bad in taking a story that was already written (or happened) and turning it into a movie. Look at Pocahontas! I was ready to strangle those Disney people after watching the movie.

And maybe you're right about the protect little kids thing, but Dumbo got drunk and lots of evil characters died, and a couple of good ones, so I guess it's okay for someone to be insane.

Dumbo is an elephant. How does he get drunk??? he's like, i dunno, 5???? How did they bar ppl let him drink? They were probably like, ‘Oh your so cute! let me get u some beer!’ Seriously Disney. STICK TO WHAT MAKES SENSE. Sheesh.

You're saying that life makes sense? Especially with the Mist going on—remember how Percy said, (in the second book, I think,) that people have seen monsters throwing cocktails around? And, anyway, he freaking blowtorched a national monument, so…

Well, it is FAKE, But Giving Beer to a five year old elephant. IMAGINE IT. Don't get me wrong here, HE is adorable. (no, i'm not gay)

Okay, true. But still.

So now you get my point here? About ‘making sense’? It is very creepy.

For everyone who hasn't seen dumbo: nobody gave him the beer, the talking mouse thought it was water. (Now that I think about it, that doesn't reall make any sense either)

Ehm… As a daughter of Neptune and legacy of Hades, I disagree

I like the basic idea of Camp Jupiter—good training, a place to retire, etc. but I don't know… like Annabeth said, what about surviving in the “real world”? In that way, Camp Half-Blood is their opposite.

Example:
Q: What should we train with?
CJ: Everything, esp. stuff you need to work on!
CHB: Well, whatever you like! Pick your schedule.
Q: How should we punish people?
CJ: Through them into a sack with angry… (was it lemurs? Weasels?) and into the Tiber they go.
CHB: No dessert for a week. But only if they maim/kill anyone.
Q: Entrance Program?
CJ: Letters of reference and/or someone to die if they make a mistake.
CHB: If they're a demigod, come on in!
Q: Quests?
CJ: Prophecy, god, or nuttin'.
CHB: Oracle… Mission… Whim… Anything works, really.

etc.

You get my point?

I don't think they'd know they were evil right away, and, either way, it was (a) their job and (b) Chiron would want to “save” them. Plus, I could imagine the gods making them take the demigod in because it was his/her son/daughter. Get my point? The demigod would at least be taken in for questioning or to be “judged” by Mr. D.

Also, “whim” means, like, an abrupt desire to do something, usually without any reason whatsoever. (It's hard to explain.)

Yeah… I see what you mean. Besides, being “judged” by Mr. D isn't very fun. Just imagine me saying: “What does it mean, being ”saved" when you're sent off on a dangerous quest that most likely leaves you dead?"
