What is a hero? Hero can be an animal or a scientist who help people. My hero is a writer. In Rick Riordan’s novel, he used gods of Greece’s and Percy’s adventure story told us to be a good person.

 

What made a Rick Riordan Hero? Maybe it was his family. His sons Haley and Patrick gave him support. His inspiration came from his son Haley, an ADHD patient. The main character of his famous novel is Percy Jackson. He also has ADHD. Rick Riordan wrote a hero’s story. He has set a good example for young people with the Jackson character.

 He would tell his sons stories of Greek mythology before his sons went to bed. One time, Haley asked him: Why don’t you turn Greek mythology into a novel? And then, his inspiration was inspired.

In his novels Rick Riordan has given people an understanding of Greek mythology. He has also educated us about how gods have influenced our lives. His books are educational as well as entertaining.

I first became aware of Rick Riordan when I read Percy Jackson. I was fascinated by his words.

Maybe people will remember his novels the most. But because of Riordan, we remember an amazing hero call Percy.
