Ineed a counter claim on why percy jackson is better than harry potter

In my opinion, the character I like more is none other than

Percy Jackson, the son of Posiedon.

Percy Jackson and Harry Potter both have great lessons! But, Harry Potter’s lesson is that friendship and love overpowers darkness any day. It is very true! But, on the other hand, that’s the only lesson they teach. Sure, they are brave too. But the lessons in Percy Jackson are much more relatable, immediately connecting with the audience and investing them more into the story! These lessons include Percy being a dyslexic and stuff, but showing them that you don’t need to be the smartest, or have the most skill to be the hero. There’s a hero in every single one of us. But that’s not the only lesson, unlike Harry Potter. It also shows us about overcoming your fears, doing anything for your friends, feeling insecure with your own family, knowing that even though you might not be the best, you don’t need to change, and so much more.

So usually people will say things such as “oh, Riordan pulled this out of Greek Myths so it isn’t as creative as Rowling.” Guys. Rowling built a school. Riordan built a universe. While I love Hogwarts, it wouldn’t be super hard to make! Think about it. Could you make a school of magic? Probably. Could you weave over a hundred Greek Myths and legends and stories into one summer camp? Most likely not. Unless you really put the effort into it. Our Uncle Rick full-on weaved everything together and included the mortal world in his writing, which I think is absolutely fabulous and completely underrated. So world-building DOES go to my Uncle Rick.

Kronos is a much better villain than Voldemort. Here are the reasons why. Kronos actually appeared in the first book but in the form of a mysterious dream. That’s actually more interesting and suspenseful than a villain who appeared in the fourth book alone. Since Percy had dreams about Kronos, it’s only more suspenseful for the readers to want to get to know him, especially since they originally thought the voice in the dream was Hades. I love how the villain was misunderstood in the very beginning, it’s only more astonishing. Not to mention Kronos is much more powerful than Voldemort, yet Percy and his friends still defeated him. Voldemort’s a wizard. Kronos is the lord of time, and the king of the Titans. There’s a huge gap between their powers. And, in the final battle of Percy’s, the big battle, the solution wasn’t as simple as Harry’s. If Percy managed to kill Kronos, the battle still wouldn’t be over, so the stakes are much more high. And finally, Voldemort is a fully black and white villain, and so is Kronos for the most part, but Kronos’ followers atleast have a reason, for example Ethan Nakamura was tired of being left in the dark and not getting claimed, and Luke kind of faced the same situation, coming to the conclusion that Kronos is a less black and white villain, therefore his followers are more sympathetic deserving. I remember reading it and feeling bad for Ethan and Luke, enough to ask myself where I would stand if it came to this.

It might sound like I hate Harry Potter after this answer, which I don’t. I just get very defensive when it comes to Harry Potter vs. Percy Jackson, because PJO meant a lot more to me growing up than Harry Potter. I love both books, but Percy Jackson wins hands down. Harry’s still my boy though.

everyday, people all over the world are making sacrifices; all for different reasons. some people may choose to do more simple sacrifices, like, "my daughter is receiving an award at school, but i also have an appointment, so i will decide to cancel that appointment to be there with my daughter" although she is cancelling her appointment, she can easily reschedule it, and spend her time with nore important thungs in life: being there with her daughter. this will make her daughter happy too because she is recieveing an award for her hard work, and it brings us happiness when our hard work is noticed and appreciated.

on the other hand, some people dont know when to make a sacrifice, ir bow to make one. well, making a sacrifice is when you do something for someone else other than yourself, for someone else's happiness, not so you can gain something in return. you do it for them, not for you. so, anyone can make a sacrifice, even the most simplest ones, like giving up the tv for a sibling or a sibling with homework, when you could be doing something else. the point is to others, when you can be doing something else. you do it out of the fact that you want to them, not so that it can benefit you.

making sacrifices benefit people in many ways, it can bring a smile to there face knowing someone is willing to and bring kindess. alot of people tend to feel unwanted and that no one is there for them, but if we show kindess and sacrifice the less importnat things in life for the most important things in life, people will once again feel happiness and more at ease knowing that someone is or was there for them, even if it be only once.

hope this , and let me know if there are any typos, it's hard typing on a phone : )
