Essay On The Differences Between Percy Jackson Book And Movie

There are many differences between the Percy Jackson book and the Percy Jackson movie, so many in fact that if all the differences were listed there would not be enough paper. But that is not what this paper is about. What this is for is to not only contrast, but also compare them. Even though there are a few similarities. For instance, the names of the characters for one, the movie kept the names the same, such as Annabeth, Percy, Grover, Luke and Chiron. Who are some of the main characters.

One other factor the book and movie have in common is the fact that Percy’s hair was black. Something very small and something few would notice, but it is one of the few similarities.
Something else they have in common is something that could be difficult, especially with Greek Mythology, and despite the slight difficulty in this task, the movie makers did follow along with the books when placing the characters with their parents. Annabeth is the daughter of the goddess Athena, Percy is the son of the god Poseidon, Luke is the son of the god Hermes.
One last thing that the book and movie have in common: what happens throughout the story. Both tell the story of Percy finding out who his father is and his powers, while the gods are verging on a war.

It says on the first page of the first chapter of the first book that Percy is twelve. And in chapter five on page sixty-three it says (describing Annabeth)“She was probably my age, maybe a couple of inches taller, and a whole lot more athletic looking.” clarifying that both Annabeth and Percy are young. Which also leads to the next point. In the first movie, The Lightning Thief, Annabeth has brown hair although page sixty-three of chapter five also states that Annabeth looks like “a stereotypical California girl” and describes her to have a deep tan and curly blonde
