Okay, so I made one of these các bài viết about Jason and some people requested that I do one for Piper, so I thought I would try. :) Also, I’m sorry if there are a billion other các bài viết about why someone likes/hates Piper, I didn’t really look to see. XD Hopefully this isn’t too redundant and boring for those of bạn who have been on fanpop longer than I have…

Before I start I just want to say:

1) THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST A WARNING!!!!

2) These are my opinions and I just want to share them. Feel free to share your own opinions in the comments! :)

I’m going to danh sách the arguments I’ve seen people make against Piper and give reasons why I, personally, think they are wrong (this doesn’t mean that I’m right, it’s just my opinion and what I think, so please don’t get mad at me for it! Thanks!).


1) “Piper is a Mary-Sue”
So, I really didn’t want to start with this one, because I don’t know enough about Mary Sues to argue against this effectively. But since I see this as the #1 reason why some people hate Piper, I’ll try my best.
Here is why I DON’T think that Piper is a Mary Sue:
1)    Piper does, in fact, have flaws. She used to be a klepto, she felt (maybe still feels?) that her dad ignored her and has low self-esteem because of it, and she is a little bit of a hypocrite (because she does think about clothes and appearance, even though she wants so badly not to XD). Those sound like flaws to me!
2)    Some people say that a Mary Sue is measured bởi how the characters see them rather than the reader. Wouldn’t that have to mean that all the characters tình yêu Piper and think she is flawless? I don’t think this is true AT ALL. How many people DON’T like Piper? There’s Drew, those girls from the Wilderness School, Jane, Gaea, and probably Reyna and almost every Roman camper. So, Piper is definitely NOT loved bởi everyone. As for the other characters seeing her flaws, I think that they do. Here are some examples: 1) In The Mất tích Hero, Leo gets annoyed that Piper wants to be with Jason so much (in Chapter 23)—though I suppose bạn could say this is also directed at Jason and not JUST Piper. 2) Her dad thinks that she is immature with all her stealing and stuff and he is often disappointed in her. 3) Drew absolutely loathes Piper and thinks she is annoying. And there are probably more, but I only have the first book with me right now.
3)    I’ve seen some people say that Piper is a Mary Sue for these reasons: 1) She has a special weapon, 2) She has a good hát voice, and 3) She is a Daughter of Aphrodite, but can still fight. My arguments: 1) Yeah, Piper has Katoptris, but Percy has Riptide, Jason had his coin thing, and Leo has his tool-belt. So I don’t think this makes Piper a Mary Sue. 2) Some people are good singers, even without lots of lessons. This was only mentioned ONCE and only briefly (if I’m even thinking of the right part) and I don’t see how it really makes Piper a Mary Sue, even if lots of Mary Sues can sing… (And just a ngẫu nhiên thought about that…do bạn think her “powerful voice” hoặc whatever it đã đưa ý kiến about her good hát voice has anything to do with her charmspeak? Probably not, but I just thought of it…) And 3) I’m pretty sure all the children of Aphrodite COULD fight if they wanted to, they just choose to spend thêm time on clothes and make-up like Drew. But the fact that Piper CHOOSES to fight and is good at it doesn’t make her a Mary Sue. If bạn were a child of Aphrodite, would that automatically mean bạn couldn’t be a good fighter? No, it’s a choice that Piper made. She wants to fight and she is good at it.
4)    Some people also say that Piper is a Mary Sue because she wants to be normal. If this is true, then Annabeth, Hazel, and probably every other female demigod in the world is a Mary Sue. They ALL want to be normal. Who wants to have monsters after bạn all the time? Now as for Piper not wanting her dad to be a famous actor, then I’ll just say this: I don’t think she wishes THAT necessarily. I think she wants her dad to pay thêm attention to her rather than his job. Who wouldn’t? Thalia didn’t like that her mom was an actress either, did she (I honestly don’t remember, so please correct me if this is wrong)?
Like I said, I don’t know enough about what makes a character a Mary Sue to really argue against this one, but from what I do know, Piper doesn’t really seem like one.


2) “Piper is weak”
I don’t see Piper as weak at all, really. For one thing, she had the guts to not betray her Những người bạn in The Mất tích Hero, even though it meant she might lose her dad. Yes, she thought about betraying them, but in the end she managed to save BOTH of them. Also, in The Mất tích Hero, Piper wanted so badly to be able to fight when they were in the cave and the ma sói were attacking. Just because she COULDN’T fight doesn’t mean she is weak. She still tried and wanted to, which in my opinion shows TRUE strength.
And, I will say that Piper is not nearly as kick-butt as Annabeth and even Hazel, but being able to FIGHT isn’t the only thing that makes someone strong. Love, loyalty, and determination also hiển thị strength. And Piper shows ALL of those qualities. Piper isn’t weak.


3) “Piper is useless”
Useless, bạn say? Then I take it bạn do not care at all about Percy hoặc Jason? Because she saved both of their lives MULTIPLE times in the Mark of Athena. First when they were possessed bởi eidolons and fighting each other and then again when they were drowning. And some people say that it was Piper’s fault that Percy and Jason were in these situations to begin with, but actually, people: no. She saw the hình ảnh in Katoptris, but didn’t understand them. It wasn’t her fault.
Also, Piper helped save Hera in the Mất tích Hero. If that’s not useful, then what is? If Hera hadn’t been saved, the world would have been doomed.


4) “Piper lấy trộm, đánh cắp Jason from Reyna”
bạn can’t steal what doesn’t belong to anyone. Reyna never HAD Jason, according to both Jason AND Reyna. So there is no way that Piper lấy trộm, đánh cắp Jason. Jason chose her fair-and-square, because according to him, he never had feelings for Reyna to begin with. Sure, bạn could argue that if Jason hadn’t been switched and had his memory wiped then “given time” he and Reyna may have dated. But that’s not fair to anyone. Jason didn’t ask to have his memory wiped and Piper didn’t ask to be được trao fake memories of Jason. But it happened and if they are in tình yêu with each other, then good for them. They SHOULD be together then. Piper did not intentionally hurt Reyna. She was probably told bởi Jason, once he figured everything out, that he and Reyna were never dating (though we don’t know for sure, since we didn’t get to read about when they actually got together). So she probably assumed that Reyna either didn’t like Jason in that way hoặc that it didn’t matter because Jason didn’t want to be with her.
Also, some people say that Piper’s relationship with Jason is fake because her memories of him were fake and Reyna’s were real, so he should be with Reyna. But, remember, Piper and Jason have had 8 months to get to know each other bởi The Mark of Athena. That’s not as long as Jason and Reyna had, maybe, but it’s enough to make REAL memories. Also, near the end of The Mất tích Hero it says this:

“She didn’t even worry that her knowledge of him was mostly based on three months of false
memories. bạn can sense possibilities, her mother had said. And Piper was determined to make those possibilities a reality.” (The Mất tích Hero, Chapter 52).

So Piper wanted to make real memories, and I think we can assume that she did, since she and Jason are now dating.
(And can I also just say that Reyna wasn’t exactly loyal to Jason while he was missing. She flirted with Percy. So, I don’t think it’s fair to say that Piper lấy trộm, đánh cắp Jason from her when she obviously would have moved on pretty fast…)


5) “Piper is such a horrible jerk for saying that Percy is unimpressive compared to Jason! How dare she!”
Really?! Sure, maybe it was wrong for her to be comparing the two boys at all, but so what if SHE thinks that Jason is thêm impressive? She’s in tình yêu with him and NOT with Percy. Plus, she hasn't been with Percy very long at that point and she hasn't actually seen him do that much, whereas she has gone on a quest with Jason and seen him fight. If it were Annabeth, she would probably think that Percy was thêm impressive than Jason. It just makes sense. Piper isn’t saying that Percy is totally lame. She KNOWS that he’s epic (considering he was practically all anyone at Camp Half-Blood talked about in The Mất tích Hero), she just prefers Jason. What’s wrong with a character having an opinion? Nothing. It’s totally fair of Piper to think what she did.


6) “Piper is a jerk to challenge Drew for leadership of lều, cabin Ten!”
What about it makes her a jerk? Piper had every right to do so, as it is in the rules. Drew was not helpless, considering the duel would have taken place at a later time. Yes, Piper says something along the lines of “or we can do it now, if bạn want”, but let’s not forget that she was technically giving Drew a choice. Sure, Piper had a dagger to Drew’s face, but do any of us REALLY think Piper would have stabbed Drew right then and there if she had refused? Doubtful. And also, Drew was just as much of a jerk to Piper and every other Aphrodite camper. Piper saved the Aphrodite campers from Drew’s horrible treatment and sort of put her in her place. So, no, Piper didn’t go about the situation the “right way” necessarily, but she isn’t a jerk for doing it.
Also, right after this confrontation Piper has with Drew it says:

“This was the part she was unsure of. She didn’t want to rule bởi fear. She wasn’t like Drew, but she didn’t know if they’d accept her. Then, spontaneously, the Aphrodite campers cheered so loudly, they must’ve been heard all across camp.” (The Mất tích Hero, Chapter 52)

She DIDN’T WANT TO RULE bởi FEAR. Yes, she was trying to intimidate Drew, but in order for Drew to take her seriously, she had to. She didn’t want to intimidate the rest of the campers, and they were obviously happy that she did what she did, hence the cheering.


7) “Piper is too obsessed with Jason”
Yes, Piper is obsessed with Jason. TOO obsessed? Maybe a little. But I, personally, think that is what makes her character so interesting. Remember, she is a daughter of Aphrodite, the tình yêu goddess. Piper SHOULD be obsessed with the guy she is in tình yêu with. It fits with her character and seems right. Is it somewhat annoying to read about her obsessing over Jason in EVERY one of her chapters? Maybe to some people, but I find it kind of cute. XD


8) “Piper is a whiny brat!”
When does Piper EVER whine? Out loud, I mean. She definitely complains a lot in the first book about her dad not paying attention to her (but who wouldn’t if their parent was ignoring them?!), but she RARELY voices her complaints. And so I don’t think that she is a brat because it. If she constantly whined to Jason and Leo about her dad in The Mất tích Hero, then YES she would be a brat. But she kept it to herself, which shows that she doesn’t want to burden other people with her problems. Someone please tell me how that is “bratty”.


9) “Piper is SO conceited!”
WHAT?!?! Is there ANY evidence of this in any of the books?! As far as I’m aware, Piper has extremely LOW self-esteem. She feels neglected bởi her dad and needs to do things like steal cars to get any attention from him. Throughout the entire first book, she feels that she is the weak link in the quest. And she constantly has worries about her relationship with Jason in the Mark of Athena. There is NO implication that Piper is the least bit conceited!


10) “Piper is a downgrade of Annabeth”
I don’t even know where to start with this one…
Hmm…let’s think about this…Piper and Annabeth are not similar enough for either one to be a “downgrade” of the other. Annabeth is strategic, athletic, and brave, while Piper is driven bởi her tim, trái tim rather than strategy, a little rebellious, and also brave. But all demigods should be brave. They sort of have to be…
Piper and Annabeth are totally different characters. Neither is a downgrade of the other.


11) “Piper is a manipulative jerk because of her charmspeak”
Piper isn’t really manipulative and her charmspeak doesn’t make her a jerk. She didn’t ask to be born with the ability to charmspeak. That’s not fair. That’s like saying that Jason is a horrible person because he can fly. hoặc that Percy is a jerk for being able to breathe underwater without drowning. Plus, her charmspeak could really come in handy in their battles against Gaea and the giants.


12) “Piper is really shallow and only thinks about her looks”
Piper definitely thinks about her looks a lot, but I fail to see how she is shallow in any way, shape, hoặc form. Like I đã đưa ý kiến before, Piper keeps her problems to herself, rather than burdening other people with them. She cares deeply about Jason, who she is in tình yêu with. She also shows her tình yêu of Leo in the Mark of Athena when she leaps of the side of the freakin’ ship to hug him when she finds out he is alive. Piper knows the true meaning of being a daughter of Aphrodite, unlike Drew (who IS shallow, in my opinion):

“Aphrodite is about tình yêu and beauty. Being loving. Spreading beauty. Good friends. Good times. Good deeds. Not just looking good.” –Piper McLean, The Mất tích Hero, Chapter 52

How is THAT shallow? No, Piper is NOT shallow.


13) “Piper is a jerk for considering betraying her Những người bạn to save her dad”
Seriously? Her dad CREATED her. He’s her only family that she knew before she met Aphrodite. And even though he ignored her sometimes, he still loves her and she loves him. How could anyone NOT consider saving their PARENT (unless it was some extreme circumstance where the parent is horrible to the kid hoặc hates the kid hoặc something, but that's not Piper's situation) even if it meant betraying their friends, especially if they had just found out that they didn’t really know their Những người bạn and all their memories of them were fake? Piper is NOT a jerk for wanting to save the man who created her, raised her, and loves her.


I hope that after all of this, I MAYBE JUST MAYBE convinced a few Piper-haters to give her a second-chance. She is a great character and she deserves to be loved as much as any other amazing character in The Giải cứu thế giới of Olympus. :)

I looked around the camp, Chiron hiển thị me everything. I saw a lot of campers. They all wore the same trái cam, màu da cam T-shirt Percy had. "And, until your parent claims you, you'll be staying here." I didn't really look up, but I nodded, "Okay."
Then he left.

CHAPTER ONE

I sat in the thuyền as my stepfather and the rest of my relatives jumped off.
"Emma, aren't bạn coming?"
"No, I'd rather get a tan than get in the water." I responded. My mother sighed and jumped in, splashing me.
I closed my eyes and pulled my sunglesses over my eyes.
"Emma?" My cousins voice was soft, but I didn't open my eyes in fear she'd have a bucket full of water and would want to dump it on my head.
"Eve, can I please relax today? I'm not getting in."
"Fine," her voice was further away and harder than it had been earlier. I looked up when I heard one of the boats doors open. The...

Holy Hephaestus! It's the fifth H of O article!!!! Wow, that means I've been at this for five weeks!!! Time flys when bạn have something to talk about! Speaking of time, we have just under 3 months until The Giải cứu thế giới of Olympus: The Mất tích Hero is released in the U.S. Now on to the matter at hand.

There has been a lot of buzz about the names in the new series, and speculations about their meanings. Do the meanings and origins really have anything to do with the character and the story, hoặc were they picked randomly? Well, as per my normal, I've researched the names, and come up with some really...

JASON



Today I was accepted into Half-Blood University. Now do not get me wrong, I am excited to go but I just hope all of my Những người bạn were accepted also, especially my girlfriend, Piper Mclean. Saving the world many times should come up to something for us. Percy out of all people should get in because he could have been a god if he wanted to. Ok anyways I was in. I get off the bus that had just arrived at the trường đại học in New York. Once I stepped off the bus I was shocked to see how big this place was. Half bloods all alike came out of now where. Some fauns and satyrs were there and even...

About the 7 Children of the Prophecy, I think it's Percy who will lead the other 6. And I think that these names are the ones who will be in the Great Prophecy.

1. Percy Jackson=Son of Poseidon/Neptune
2. Jason Grace=Son of Zeus/Jupiter
3. Annabeth Chase=Daughter of Athena/Minerva
4. Nico di Angelo=Son of Hades/Pluto
5. Piper Mclean=Daughter of Aphrodite/Venus
6. Leo Valdez=Son of Hephaestus/Vulcan
7. Frank Zhang=Son of Ares/Mars


These are just my best guesses. And i hope that they are also the destined 7 demigods of the prophecy.

Thanks for đọc :)

 Kleo, the Muse of History
Kleo, the Muse of History
Yes it is! It doesn't only kill kiddies at school, it is messing with The Mất tích Hero, the book we are all dying to have. Obviously Kleo, the Muse of History, is planning something, because the history is obviously repeating itself!

(Random fact: Kleo is one of 9 daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, goddess of memory and time and inventress of languages and words. Yeah, I can see the connection. Can you?)

OK, so after rereading the sample chapters, I found a bunch of similarities between The Mất tích Hero and a PJO book. Do bạn know which book it is? The Lightning Thief, bạn say? No, I don't think so,...

Before I start off, I'd like to say that I'll be pretty surprised if anyone can fully understand this article. If bạn can, then các điểm thưởng to you.

Time

What is time? We know it exists...or does it? Many great masterminds of our time and before have tried to figure it out, including Albert Einstein, Aristotle, Issac Newton, and many others, yet none have been able to find an answer. Some people say it's a part of matter. Some say that it's not matter at all. Some say it doesn't even exist, it's just an explanation to better understand the universe we live in. Some say that time is just the present,...

Chapter One

Percy had thought about it all night and had finally decided. He was going to call him it seemed that it was the only possible way to get him and his other seven Những người bạn out of this mess. Reyna was nocked out on the ground of the Roman camp. Percy sighed he'd told Annabeth about his friend he had met when he had gone to kill that baby alligator about a năm and a half ago. He was certain that this was a situation that they couldn't get out of. At dawn the tiếp theo morning Octavian was have Jason and Reyna die and offer them as a sacrifice to the Earth goddess. For the seven millionth time he cursed himself for being so unable to help. How could he? He was supposed to be the bravest, and he didn't want to call for help! He knew how to do this on his own. But Annabeth had agreed to the friend idea, and he knew he was being selfish bởi wanting all the glory for defeating Gaea himself.
So he finally decided to call his name,

Dalton Beckett is best described bởi the following phrase: A cool, calm, collective, free-lance spell-sword. He's a eighteen year-old, 6'1, pale, slender but muscled, son of Hecate, legacy of Circe, Englishman with hair that's about a tháng out of buzz cut and stubble lining his subtle jawline. He has dark blue eyes that dance with a almost sarcastic amusement when interested, as if he finds the fact something has dared to not reveal it's secret's to him funny.

Okay, so I did kinda like Jason at first, but in MoA, he really irritated me. Let me tell bạn why.

Exhibit A:

My thoughts: WAY TO GO, SMART ONE.
That’s a great way to say hello to your almost-girlfriend/fellow praetor bạn haven’t seen in months. WE GOT A GENIUS OVER HERE.

Heavy in Your Arms

I lay there, bleeding, battered, and bruised, on the cold marble floor. My head was cradled in Percy's lap.

I'm so heavy...

I stared into his eyes. His perfect eyes, trying to capture them in this moment, so I'd never forget them.

Heavy,

"You can't leave me," his voice cracked.

Heavy in your arms.

His tears cut through the grime on his face.

I'm so heavy...

Battle raged all around us.

Heavy,

"I'm sorry," I croaked.

Heavy in your arms.

I felt myself slipping away.

"Goodbye, Percy..."
