Corinne's+Comparison

The book is ever better than the movie.

Point 1:The book is better because it gave a better description.While watching the movie, I noticed that it didnt include Lord Ares at all. When they included the lightning bolt with Percy, it wasn't in the backpack that Ares gave him. It wasn't in a backpack at all!Also,in the book, it said that Grover, Annabeth, and Percy saw the 3 fates or the Kindly Ones on the bus.In the movie they didn't include the bus scene anywhere.Another reason is when Percy defeated Mrs. Dodds at the museum she was vaporized. In the movie she flew out of a broken window when she told him they neaded to talk.While they are in the underworld to meet Hades,they are stopped by the 3 headed dog and Annabeth plays with him. But in the movie,they aren't stopped by the dog,they are stopped by the hellhounds with only 1 head.In the movie, if they just added more detail, it would have explained the story line better.

Point 2:Another reason why the book is better than the movie is because it includes more characters. I say this because they include Nancy Bobofit, Dionysus, Ares,Clarisse,and so on.But in the movie they don't include any of them anywhere in the parts they were originally in.Imagine if they included all of these characters in the movie. There would be more evidence to explain why Percy is the son of Poseidon.Such as, when he defeats Clarisse,daughter of Ares in the bathroom.Or when they battle in the Capture the flag game.Also, if they had Dionysus in it, it would tell you that Percy had choices to either take on the quest or be turned into a dolphin.And they would have told why Dionysus was at the camp.If they included all the characters that they had in the book, it would have added more action in the movie.  Point 3:​Finally,the book is better because it is more exciting.It was more exciting because since it has speaker tags,it told me how the characters actually felt.Another reason is that it added climax because of the excitement in the battles that were taken.Also,since it had so much detail in it,it helped understand it so it would be more exciting.It was better than the movie because with all the excitement,it helped more than just seeing it on the screen.Also,when it came to when they were going to Olympus,You would think that he was already there but by the book
