//​******I think that the book is better than the movie.*******// __ POINT ONE: The book is better than the movie because the book had more and better deatails than the movie. __   The book, had more details than the movie. While I was reading the book, I really was able to visualize what was happening. The author added many more details than the movie had. For instance, Ares was the whole plot in the book, yet the movie failed to interprate him. In the book, I was able to learn about some of the gods and godesess based on all the details that the author gave. I really didn't take anything away from the moive because of the lack of details that it had.In the book, they told what Percay was thinking and felling, which was a great detail that the author put, but in the movie, I couldn't tell what Percy was thinking, so it was harder to understand the situation. With Percy's thoughts, I was able to understand how he felt. The movie lacked the whole point of the movie! The Orcale in the book was a major detail, and with out it, the book wouldn't make as much sence as it did. In the movie, the Oralce was totaly out of the question. It wasn't even mentioned. The mant details in the book, made it really good, but yet in the movie, there was a lot missing. Just face it, the book had so many exiting details, while the movie had pretty much none at all.

__ POINT TWO : The book was better than the movie because the book was more exicting. __

The book, was more exiting than the movie. At the end of the book, which really made it some it up really well, Luke made an effort to kill Percy. In the moive, that didn't happen. I thought that this event was very exiting, and without it, I felt that it was pretty boring. At the end of the movie, there was obviously something missing. Luke trying to kill Percy really got the idea of Luke being a bad person across to the reader. I can just see it now, the book without that perfect ending! The reader would be left hanging, thinking "that was it?!?!?!" Although in the moive, at the end, they do have something against each other and battle, the scorpian was pretty exiting to read. The battle wasn't as exiting as the scorpian. In the book, you were just waiting to find out who Percy's dad was, which made you want to read on, but in the moive, they just came out and said it! At the point, I didn't really want to know what would happen next because once you know who his father is, you can almost tell what will happen. Before finding out who his father was, in the book, there were so many events that took place, and since they came right out and said who his father was, all those events just were gone. Without all those events, it made the movie less exiting. Therefore, the book had so many exiting events, and the moive just put half of the theater to sleep.

__POINT THREE: __ __ The book was more educational .__ In the book, the author tells all about most of the gods in Greek Mythoology, and the moive doesn't fully explain who they are. When I read the book, I knew nearly nothing about the gods, and while readint he book, I understood who they were. If I didn't read the book, and just saw the moive, I would be totaly bewildered. I took nothing away from the moive, and yet I learnt so much from the book. For example, I learned about Kronous in the begining while Percy had his conversation with Mr. Brunner. And, in the movie, they didn't even have that conversation. I knew nothing about Kronous, and now, I can tell his whole story. Without the book, I would know nothing. The movie taought me nearly nothign about the mythology. If you didn't read the book,and just saw the movie, you wouldn't understand anything! You would just get up and leave right then and there. All in all, the book was so much more factual and taught the reader so much.
