DANAϋS,PERSEUS,AND THE GORGON and Percy Jackson and the olympians:The lightning thief are the same but the movie was more modern and had different plot,characters,theme from killing medusa to wearing flying shoes the stories can be similar or completely different.

A movie-adaptation is the transfer of a written work. The most common form of a movie-adaptation is the use of a novel, such as the book "Persepolis", written by Marjane Satrapi, written as a childhood memoir. The story is about a young Marjane growing up in Iran during the Shah dynasty, Iranian Revolution, and Iran-Iraq war during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Not only did Marjane Satrapi wrote the novel, but she also directed the film about the book. Sadly, the work of a movie-adaptation doesn't always include every details mentioned and sometimes add details not included from the text, which includes Persepolis the movie. The author omitted several events from the movie that happened in the book, including the whole first chapter of

Both of these stories have same plot structures and hero's journey, but the movie is more modernized than the story. First, is how they meet their mentor. In the story Perseus's father sent him his mentor but in the movie Percy went to school with him and already knew him because they were friends. Next, in the story Medusa was on an island with her two other sisters and Pursues looked at her reflection with Athena's shield but, in the

I contemplated long and hard about which book I preferred over the other. Although it was a hard decision, I eventually choose Maus. In my opinion, Vladek’s story was so vivid and the comic strips were so thoughtfully drawn. Although, there was a connection with young Marji in “Persepolis”, I did not feel as invested in her welfare as I did for Vladek and all of the other characters introduced throughout the book. In fact, I was so deeply moved by Vladek’s recollection of events that as I take note of our Nations’ current events it leads me to wonder if I would be able to survive such conditions. Despite the fact that I chose Maus, I must say that “Persepolis” was a great read and I was left wanting more.

In both the stories the main characters of Percy and Perseus really start to show their true colors on their quest. Both characters are Prodigies in there Hero types and act the same. One is just modernized as a teen from New York who travels the U.S with his friends. On the other hand, Perseus is a courageous son of Zeus who goes on a quest along to fight Medusa. For Percy he shows his true Prodigy Archetype when he gets to Camp Half-Blood. There, he was able to reveal his true ability to control water and use it in combat and healing (Percy Camp Half-Blood). For Perseus he know right from the start he is a prodigy of something great and uses his power to great things. “In his humble hut Perseus grew into a fine valiant youth, proud of being the son of Zeus and the Beautiful Danae.” (Perseus 6) Also, in both stories not only were Percy and Perseus Prodigy’s, but Perfect hero’s as well. Both heros grow up in a less than stellar place but still become perfect heros and go onto do there remarkable quest’s. For Percy, he grew up with Gabe Ugliano in his small New York apartment, where Gabe routinely miss treated him and his Mother. Which actually is the same in Perseus. Perseus grew up on a small Island in a humble hut, but after Perseus and his Mother got away from the King he ended up coming back. “The King pursued her and would have carried her off by force if Perseus had not protected her.” (Perseus 6) The resemblance is extremely close and that resemblance help the characters later on to be better people and become there “Perfect Hero” Archetype. In these stories the Hero theme is the same but that’s about the only theme that can be compared in these two very differently themed

Persephone and Demeter and Mother #1 are two very similar stories. They both have similar plots and properties. Both of them have some of the same characters, but not all of the same characters. Both of these stories are very similar in many ways. A common theme is things you do to other people sometimes affect you the most.

In fact, the film's Ancient One featured is very similar to one of the comic books version of the character. Both would be called morality gray individual by some. That is connected the reason both are immortal. The movie was unique and very different like the last marvel comic movie I saw in theaters. Which was Antman. I like that very much. These other marvel comic movies after seeing a few of them didn't really thrill me. Dr. Strange manage to do an alright job of doing

In Ovid Metamorphoses, the Roman literature described the ruthless act of Pluto of rape, to seize and carry away Proserpine without the consent of Ceres and in parallel in the Homeric Hymns of Demeter; Persephone was seized and carried away by Hades without the consent of Demeter. The invariant theme that was identified in both the Greek and Roman literature was the loss of innocence of Persephone/Proserpine. Despite the various differences the story was presented, it reinforced the innocence that was stolen from the god of the underworld, Hades or also known as Pluto. Throughout this paper, it will discuss the similar characteristics of the two myths such as the motive that led and encouraged the god of the underworld to kidnap

Zeus’ different roles in the two stories lead to his contrasting personality traits, as both authors try to find reasons for the audience to sympathize with the tale’s main character, they have to inevitably change Zeus’ character

The last big difference i saw was the scene with the Lotus Eaters. In the book, Odysseus and his men went to an island with Lotus Eaters while in the movie, the lotus blossoms were given by Circe. This made him and his men stay longer with Circe for five years. They had thought it had only been a couple days but Circe made it seem like that, so they wouldn't leave. That is also different from the book because in the book, Odysseus and his men only stayed with Circe for a year, not five years.

The first difference is that the myth begins in the ninth year of the ten year siege of Troy by the Greeks. On the other hand, the movie highlights how Helen is being taken away from Troy by Paris. This is a process that angers Menelaus. The Greeks sail through the Aegean Sea in ships in order to avenge against the Priam’s Kingdom and are assisted by Achilles. This is an event that leads to fighting which results in bloodshed. The myth ends in Hector’s funeral and this forms another major difference with the movie.

In Clash of the Titans, Perseus wants to stop Hades and the other gods from taking over the world so he goes to the Underworld and kills many monsters and even Medusa to prove to Zeus that he in fact is a demigod. On the other hand, in the story of Perseus, he wants to stop the kind of Argos from trying to marry his mother so the king tells Perseus to go to the Underworld and retrieve Medusas’ head and he would not marry his mother. After reading the story and watching the movie, there are many differences to the two and the movie is nothing compared to the story. At the beginning of the movie, Perseus and his mother float up in a wooden box, just as they do in the story. As the movie continues, Princess Andromedas’ mother says that she is

Set in revolutionary Iran during the 1980s and 1990s, Persepolis, a beautiful film, tells the story of a young girl, Marjane, growing up during the revolution. The theme of Persepolis is about tension and freedom: the tension of the country, the self-inflicted tension of Marjane, and the need of freedom for everyone. Director Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud uses movement, humor, expressions, sound, and editing to pull this theme together. The combination of these different techniques in each scene completes the total effect of the movie.
