Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

The purpose of Percy Jackson and the lightning thief movie is to entertain the audience and to make lots of money. I think the audience for this movie is family because it is a very adventure. It is adventures because Percy and his friends go on a big adventure to find the three pearls to save his mother and to return the lightning bolt.
The movies start off with Percy holding his breath underwater for a long time. Percy goes to class and he has a substitute teacher.

    Since the group needed the second pearl they had to find it in a museum. They saw a giant statue of a Athena in the center of the room. The pearl was on her crown, it was too busy to take it that moment so they had to stay after hours. They used the flying shoes Luke loaned them to get it. They had it but they saw five janitors, who said to Percy, “give us the lightning bolt Percy Jackson.” He ran and they all turned into a three headed dragon. Percy dropped the pearl, he needed a distraction to be able to get it. So Annabeth started to call it names and ran. He almost got it when they breathed fire, he used the shield Luke gave him to protect himself. He used his water powers to break the fountains and splash all water on the beast. Percy cut off its heads, but he didn't know they grew back but with more. Now it had six heads! They got the pearl and ran towards the door when it was about to blow fire at them. Grover took out Medusa’s head and showed it to the beast. It turned to rock and they left. Thank goodness he was with his friends or he would have been doomed.…

    In “The Loss of the Creature,” Percy focuses on how one perceives something before actually witnessing it based on the opinions of others. The value of the place or idea is already preconceived due to the fact that we are so caught up in time that we overlook the entire experience as a whole. Or being that we are so focused on the option on an object from someone else, we miss the whole concept or what it’s true meaning or “beauty” as Percy state’s is. We lose the ability to make our own decisions because we base them off of someone else’s viewpoints. Using an example of a movie that I experienced shows Percy’s point.…

    While watching the movie, I took notes on the similarities and differences between the movie and the book. In the movie, Percy Jackson is 16-years-old, in the book however, Percy was 12-years-old. Another comparison is the pearls. If you break a special pearl, it will lead you wherever you think in your head. In the movie, Percy and his friends – Grover and Annabeth – had to go across the USA finding the three pearls. This is so that once they…
