The Odyssey and movies

Today we took some more notes on the power point and we talked about The Odyssey. A lot of the stories Mr. Schick told us reminded me of Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters and one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.  In Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, Percy, Grover and Anna-Beth have to go to a casino to get this pearl thingy and the waitresses keeping giving them these flower cookies that put them in a trance and it makes them want more and more just like those leaves Mr. Schick was talking about. In the beginning of Sea of Monsters, when Mr.Schick was talking about the cyclopes, it made me think of how Percy's friend is killed by a cyclopes and then in the movie, Percy realizes he has a half brother from Poseidon who is a cyclopes. And when Mr. Schick talked about the women singing trying to make the passing ships come onto the island it made me think of in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean, when there were the mermaids in the water who sang and Jack Sparrow and all his crew went onto the island and it turns out that when people get to close to them they turn into monsters who try to attack you.
