Yasmin's+Comparison

I think the book is better then the movie.

Point 1:The book was more exciting. The book __The Lightning Thief__ was more exciting than the movie.When Percy was fighting the minotaur it was in such detail which made it more exciting because you know more about it.When Percy was finally awake and at Camp Half-Blood he didn't know right away that his father was Poseidon which made it exciting because you had to figure it out with the clues you were given.In the book Luke was shown as a bad person at the end which made it exciting to find out that the person that had helped Percy was all of a sudden bad.The book was much more exciting then the movie which lacked excitement.

Point 2:There was more details in the book. The book was more in depth with details.When I read the book I could see every thing in my mind.The movie didn't really explain anything,the book told me what was going on in depth in every sentence. When gabe was described in the book I could see him in my mind,he was old,smelly,ugly,and rude.The book gave me s much detrails that I could have drawn a picture of Gabe at that very moment.If I could draw a picture from a describition given to me then there must be a lot of details in the book.when Chiron was describied as a horse I could see that he was in a wheel chair that was really a magical box,in the movie they didn't even show Chiron getting out of his wheel chair becoming half horse which didn't give me detail about Chiron.When percy first saw his father,Poseidon,they explained how Poseidon looked so well that I felt as if i was looking at a picture of him.The movie showed Poseidon but he looked different than he did in the book and there was no detail as to why he wasn't dressed as he was in the book.When you are reading a book don't you want to be able to picture the book in your head?The only way you can do that is if you have details that are very in depth like the book __The Lightning Thief.__

Point 3:Had more characters to help explain the book. The book had many charaters that helped the story go along and made it more exciting.In the book there was a charater named Nancy Bobofit who helped Percy to find out that Mrs.Dodds was a fury by getting him in trouble.The movie didn't have Nancy so it was confusing that he had to talk to Mrs.Dodds in private for no reason.When Percy was playing capture the flag at Camp Half-Blood he was attacked by Clarisse who was a child of Ares.Clarisse had caused Percy to get hurt and fall into the creek,when Percy fell the creek gave him power which told us that he was the son of Poseidon.If Clarisse didn't push Percy into the creek we wouldn't have known that his father was Poseidon.The movie had just said out of no where that his father was Poseidon,they didn't hint it to us because they didn't have Clarisse in the movie.In the book Percy met Ares,the god of war,who had tricked him into taking the lightning bolt to the Underworld.Ares also helped explain that Luke had taken the lightning bolt by saying that Ares had found Luke but Luke tricked Ares.Without Ares in the movie it was just Luke acting alone on his horrible fate.One little charater can change a whole story so you should have the right charaters to help tell your story.
