The Compare and Contrast Piece


There is a Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief book and movie. They both were amzing. The book is far better than the movie because it was more detailed than the movie. There was so many differences between them, but there was hardly anything the same about them. 

There are a bunch of differences between the book and the movie. One of them was about how Percy Jackson fought Ares in the book. The book told us that Percy, Annabeth and Grover encountered with Ares. After Percy figured out that Ares was the one who put Zeus's master lightning bolt in the bag Ares gave him, Percy found himself fighting Ares on Santa Monica beach. Ares was also the one to blame about the disappearance of Hade’s helm of darkness. Till then, Percy Jackson challenged Ares to a battle. Percy won the battle and got the helm of darkness. 

ln the movie, it didn't mention anything about Percy, Annabeth and Grover's encounter with Ares. lt also didn't mention anything about Hade’s helm of darkness being stolen. Percy Jackson didn't fight Ares. Instead of heading to Santa Monica after they got out of the underworld, they just went straight to the Empire State Building. Percy fought Luke instead of Ares. 

There were only a few similarities between the book and the movie. One of them was that Percy and his accompanies got trapped inside the Lotus Casino/Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Each of them got in a trance because of how there was so many things they can do In the Casino.
