    Summary Of The Lightning Thief

    “If you’re reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life” (Riordan, 1). In the novel The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are trying to recover Zeus’ stolen master bolt. The main protagonist Percy is an outcast that struggles to fit in because he moves from school to school and is a lone child of Poseidon, yet he has lots of termitity. Another protagonist Annabeth is very smart and immaculate because she is a child of Athena. And the last main protagonist is Grover, he is Percy’s best friend and will stay by Percy through all of the trouble they face. They all go on a quest to find the master bolt which they think was stolen by the antagonist Hades and to make things worse they have a time deadline. The genre is fiction, but it has real life places and ideas. The setting is multiple places around the U.S because they are traveling west to California.…

    Comparing The Film Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone

    In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter is the hero of the story. I believe that this movie follows Joseph Campbell's model about the pattern of a hero's journey. Campbell wrote that there were three stages in every hero's mythological voyage. For the following five paragraphs, I compared the first stage, Departure, with the beginning of the movie.…

    Comparing Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone

    The storyline in the book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, by J. K. Rowling is consistent with its namesake movie; yet the movie loses a bit of magic that comes with reading this masterpiece. Understandably, changes were necessary to morph this lengthy book into a film of reasonable length. The movie was thoughtfully created and directed to maintain the integrity of the original story. Slight alterations within the movie from scene to scene or character to character were added and details were deleted to shorten the film to a reasonable length. Still, the theme of good always prevailing over evil and procuring the ending is found in both pieces. Although many small changes were made, I will…
