“BANG, BANG!!!!” Colonel Macnab just got killed in the movie Kidnapped yet, if we go back into the original book, the whole scene isn't even there! The movie and the book are very much different in the sense that the movie cut out and added scenes that were not in the book. Like in this scene, where in the book there is a completely different ending, they never even meet Colonel Macnab, Alan and Davie just go in their separate ways! I will be talking about 3 similarities in character and 1…

character. The characters casted can make or break a film when they are shown on screen. Movie producers end up using famous people who have acting experience to act out the character in the book. For example, in the book, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Percy is supposed to "look" like a 12 year old who doesn’t know what he is doing and would lose any fight he got into. Yet in the movie, Percy looks partially athletic, and is 16 years old. Casting decisions play an important role while…

This essay is about the text Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. I firmly believe that things in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief are not what they seem.

He was the traitor in the prophecy. He served Kronos. First up, Ares... Ares was one of the facets of Kronos’ plan. He…

“Chapter 22 the Prophecy Comes True” I had discovered a similarity that Percy and I share is that I to have been betrayed or stabbed in the back by someone who I thought was a loving, caring friend. Not necessarily in the same way but it did hit us by surprise. The person whom betrayed me said to think of her as a friend because her job was to help us think of the future. Luke betrayed Percy because he was one of the first friends that he made at Camp Half Blood. Most people would never think…
