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.

Ezio
He quickly crossed the other side of the street, hoping they would not notice him. As Ezio released his hidden blade's the guards yelled assassiono, assassiono(assassin). Then Ezio put his hidden blades back in and threw his throwing knives at the guards and two out of the four guards died. Then Ezio took out his long sword and threw it at a guard and it hit him right in the middle of his head. But the last guard was smart and he ran and got help, but when he came back Ezio was gone our so he thought; but Ezio was just waiting for him to come back with reinforcements. As the guards were looking for Ezio, he runs at the guards and releases his hidden blades and jumps and kills two guards. As he lifts the blades out of their chest's he pulls out his knife and stabs the approaching guard in the foot and slides it back up is leg and threw his face. Then he proceeded to take out his crossbow and fired then he ducked as a sword went over his head and stabbed the guard in the chest then Ezio pushed him towards the other guards. As the other guards watched one of there own plop to the ground Ezio fired his hidden gun and shot him right in the face and as he fell Ezio had a grin on is face and that is the last thing he ever saw. There were just two guards left one of them had a lance and the other a mace Ezio hit one of the guards steeling his lance and throwing it at the other guard with the mace and the mace flew out of his hands and Ezio grabbed it and threw it at the last guard hit the ground like a sack of potatoes he was knocked out. Then a couple of seconds latter he opens his eyes to see a foot about to come down on his face and the civilians that were around had all left as he look's around as he looks back up and then the foot comes down.
point of veiw
I think the people in my brother Sam is dead they like the British and they don't like the British. The reason I think they like the British is that the British do inhabit there city and they do keep to them selves because there place is like and outpost. I think they don't like them because of the harm they cause to other people and the places the have destroyed.

Don’t you just hate when people judge you by your looks before even knowing you? Have you ever heard the expression, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”? In the book “the outsiders”, there are two different types of people, the Socs and the Greasers. The Socs are known as the more popular, rich kids. The greasers are known as the poor delinquents. They aren’t really as bad as people may think. Although they may be less fortunate, they aren’t bad people.
Johnny Cade, a young Greaser, is thought to be a delinquent. The Socs judge them by their looks and Johnny isn’t the most fortunate of people so he doesn’t look like he’s rich, he looks like he belongs to a gang, which he does. Johnny is actually a very nice 16 year old boy that is judged by the people he hangs out with. Just because the Greasers aren’t all rich, they shouldn’t be thought of as the scum on someone’s shoe.
Darry Curtis, the oldest member of the Greasers, is judged just because of who he hangs around with.If their parents hadn’t died in a car crash he would have most likely been a soc but he decided to keep his family by taking care of his younger brothers Sodapop and Ponyboy. He used to be on the football team; he was once a star, and he even had a scholarship for college. Darry had his life set, popular, athletic, smart, but he lost it all when his parents had died. If his parents hadn’t died, he would’ve been a Soc, and be living a good life, but instead is living in a bad neighborhood with the greasers being judged on how he looks.
Before Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dallas had saved those kids from burning a live, they were believed to be horrible people because of their reputation, but really, they are no different from you and I. They just have a bad reputation. If people would stop and talk to them they would say,” hey, these guys aren’t half bad”. No one deserves to be mistreated for their looks or for who their friends are.
You shouldn’t judge a person before you get to know them; it’s just not right. Who knows, maybe there really cool but look sort of funny, so you avoid them instead of finding out who they really are. Johnny, Darry, and the rest of the gang are judged before people ever really find out who they really are. They might be tough, and kind of scummy, but they still are humans.

Johnny is a dynamic characters because he wanted to turn himself in to the police. He wanted to do this because he killed a soc and he did not fell like he should be round anyone any more. He also be friends a soc and his name is Randey.

I think this author made the title like this because the characters in this book are all kind of outsiders. The reason I think this is because none of them go to school and if they do go to school most of them don't get really good grades. They also get into fights on the side of the rode or in dark ally's by soces and they are a discrimination to people every were.
