Percy has had doubts about whether the gods are even worth saving, on whether or not they have their priorities straight, and on whether they are any better than the Titans. This is shown when it says, "Olympus was on the verge of falling, and I'd seen so many cruel things the gods had done...Then I looked at Hestia. Her red eyes glowed warmly. I remembered the images I'd seen in her hearth - friends and family, everyone I cared about." (Riordan 307) This displays that Percy was debating on whether or not the gods were even worthy of saving, if the Titans were really that bad compared to the gods. I believe that he is even pondering fighting for the gods because Zeus killed an innocent mortal woman, Hades cursed the Oracle to a horrible life, and death, and Hermes turning his back on a son he knew would turn evil. All these things, and more, most likely led up to his contemplation of whether or not the Titans would be so much worse than the gods.

This story finished dramatically, yet peacefully at the same time. Percy finally defeated Kronos, got the girl (Annabeth) and his friend got her true destiny. This destiny is becoming the new host of the Oracle of Dephi. Generally, it all ended happily. For example, it says, "Camp went late that summer. It lasted two more weeks, right up to the start of a new school year, and I have to admit they were the best two weeks of my life." (Riordan 375) This shows that Percy was incredibly happy with the ending of the book. He says that they were the best last weeks of camp of his life, which means he was satisfied with it. The average happy ending.
