People in the real life, yes, they don't always have a courage or will to stop to think about their attitudes, yes. So does characters in the books. I mean, If real people in the real life are not like that, why should people/characters in the books needs to be like that? It's realistic in a way, If they do not always have a courage, but It shouldn't sees as it is okay, too. At least people in the real life are questioned by other people about their wrong acts, just once. But Piper was never questioned. And that's makes it unrealistic.

''That usually when someone treats a good person in a way considered cruel, everyone interferes. But when that person is viewed as bad, people actually twist and expect it to be treated that way.''

Well, Amen to that. And Yes, I would like to see Drew as a person, but in the books, Riordan tried so hard portray her as a one dimensional character with have no real personality. Drew was just there as an antagonist and acting like a *language* b*tch towards Piper so we can empathise with Piper as she is a protagonist. I dislike that.

And about friendship, The real friendship is to me, helping your friends and shows their mistakes to them, and so they can see their own mistakes and wrongs about their actions and thoughts, so they can try to change these things. And, your friends also needs to show your mistakes to you, too. I mean what's the point if your friends always flatters you, all the time? It is like having puppies rather than friends. And I would be doubt about that kind of friendship.
