Distinctions between the novel and the film altered the ways that scenes and characters were portrayed. This also changes the theme and the plot of the story which was showed clearly in the novel and made the story flow well together. Eminent characters and scenes were taken out of the film were transmuted in many ways. Despite the differences in the novel and film version, the themes of being prejudiced and exhibiting inequality were expressed greatly throughout the story. While many people know that there have to be cuts while turning a novel into a film, these three elements were imperative to the story and would have improved the film if they were

I personally always think that in films the authors or directors always give more detail than the book, like it isn’t just the details it gives in the story, it has more vivid details. This story

Choosing a good book to read may not be an easy task at times because we tend to choose a book by its cover or abandon the book if we don’t like it. My advice is to pick a book that catches your eye, read a synopsis or perhaps even a book review to see if it’s of your liking. If you enjoy reading Greek Mythologies and tales of a brave young boy whose life had completely changed when he found out he was son of Poseidon-God of the Sea, then I would strongly recommend this book –The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

Books can be extremely detailed and pictures are painted for the reader by words. Sometimes directors try to transfer these books into movies.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan does not contribute to a white supremacist narrative.
