What would you rather be a young boy who's town is being invaded by the British soldiers or a demi god who is about to be attack by the titan Kronos and his invading army? Well that is what it is like for Tim in My brother Sam is dead and Percy from The Last Olympian. These characters have several similarities.
Tim and Percy are both very adventurous and are curious which is a bad thing in certain places. Like for Percy in Hades castle got a little to curios and found him self between a Sphinx and a door. For Tim he went into a British camp to see what happened to his brother and almost got caught. If he had got caught by the British he probably would have died our been tortured. Luckily both characters got away.
When Percy first got his sword, his master Chiron thought him everything he knows and that is a lot his. Percy's sword is a pen and if you click the top of it will transform into a pen. His sword is also magical that you could through it and it will be back in your pocket. Tim's only weapon is a knife and that does not do much against a British solder.
Percy is also related to the god named Poseidon. Poseidon is the god of the ocean and Percy is the son of Poseidon. This is how Percy got his power of the ocean. Percy's mother dies from a Minotaur before Percy can get to Half Blood Camp which is where the Demi gods go to escape Kronos and the Titans. Tim in the other book has a father and a brother named Sam. Both have served in the war but Sam dies in the war.
Who would you rather be? A young boy whose town is being taken over by the British or a Demi god whose home is being attacked by the Titans. Fortunately this is fiction so we don't have to make that discussion.
