Movie VS Book Spotting the differences in the 2 versions of the Lightning Thief Rick Riordan’s hit Percy Jackson series has become one of the most popular and best selling novels in the world since it hit shelves in 2005. After five years of praise the book was adapted into a movie in 2010. While watching the movie I noticed many differences in the story in the movie and the book, some of these were minor changes that might have been used to explain the backstory or powers of a character,…

owners. So to save money, they wait until the lawn is at least six inches tall before wanting it mowed, requiring me to go slower for it to look nice. Tightwads are cheap, except when it comes to buying lawn ornaments, filling their yard with lawn gnomes, wind chimes, and flower pots. This forces me to either pick up the ornaments or trim around them, also increasing the time it takes to mow. One of our customers this summer lived in an dingy brick house with rotten shingles scattered atop the…

Amelie, a beautifully constructed French film, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, colourfully paints the fictional tale of a young French woman named Amelie. The story begins in a rather unusual way, through a series of seemingly arbitrary events that inexplicably lead up to Amelie’s birth, which makes the film that much more intriguing and appealing to the spectator. Jeunet’s unique style does not stop after the exposition. The exposition’s upbeat, playful, and creative style merely whets the…

The first piece really inspired me because it had so much color and it had so much going on at the same time. It was almost like someone took a picture of a moving crowd. I saw plenty of things going on in that painting. Too much to describe in a short essay. But some of the things that I noticed were basic things that almost everyone saw. There was a snake that was eating a bird which is part of the cycle of course. Then I noticed that some of the animals were facing my direction as if looking…

errs of human nature. With such demanding societal pressures, Belinda’s unconscious may be attempting to find comfort in the belief that there are outside powers that control the good and bad. There is comfort in having someone – or something (ie the Gnomes and Salamanders) to blame. The latent content may be that Belinda is afraid of death, so her unconscious mind creates a world in which women like herself become air sprites, and are able to continue in the fanciful life she lives after death.…
