Movie Cyclops Book Cyclops Comparison
When a book was made into a movie, there are always differences between them. In the movie of the Odyssey, there are several differences between the content in the book version of the Odyssey. First, in the book, when Odysseus and his men were inside the Cyclops' cave, they stayed there for roughly two days. In the movie however, they only stayed in there for about ten to fifteen minutes. Odysseus and his men blinded the Cyclops with a spear, but in the book, the spear that blinded the Cyclops was lit on fire. In the movie, it wasn't. Also, six of Odysseus' men were eaten according to the story. In the movie, only two were eaten. When in the cave, the book talked about how there was music performed by instruments when the Cyclops was drinking, but in the movie, there was none. All these differences are all not as crucial, since these doesn't really change the plot of the movie or anything. Whenever a book is made into a movie, differences like this are very likely to happen.

QuickWrite
There was saying that states "Appearance can be deceiving". In other words, it means that the appearance, or looks of something can contribute the actual information of that something. For example, if you see a person walking down the streets with holes in his t-shirts and jeans, you would be likely to believe that this person is poor and probably has no job. Even though you assume that is true, it might not be actually true, since wasn't holes in jeans use to be a fashion statement? There was once where I was looking through different models of computers in a shop. As I look around, I spotted some computers where I would expect them to have actual good parts in them, but they don't. In this case, the computers with horrible looking outer shells somehow all had extremely good parts and where also somewhat cheaper. Most people would first look at an object, by its looks, it would create a first impression about the object. By how it looks, even if in the inside, it is a wonderful product, if the appearance looks unappealing, it would be likely to create a bad impression to the person.
