Quickwrite: Odyssey_ the movie and the book

The movie of the Odyssey was a bit different from the written epic poem by Homer. Take the part where the Cyclops first came out. the overall plot is about the same: Odysseus and his crew came on to an island, they went into the cave for shelter. Giant Cyclops came along with his sheep, saw the people and threatens to eat them. Odysseus used his intelligence to fool the monster, saying that he’ll be killing off all the magic and secrets of the world in him, just to buy them some time. Then, the Cyclops ate some of the people in his crew. Finally. He offered him some wine and let him fall asleep. During his nap, they sharpened a tree trunk and stuck it into the Cyclops’ one eye, blinding him completely. Then the Cyclops pushes the big stone that blocks the entrance away and the remaining crew of people went along with the sheep out into freedom. Odysseus ranted at the Cyclops as he got away. Then the Cyclops tattletale on him to his father, Poseidon, and also put a curse on him that ruined some of his lifetime. However, there are some changes in the movie. The movie went on very fast. In one day, Odysseus and his crew rescued themselves from the Cyclops, but in the book, it was over a 3 days time span. In the book, the monster ate a pair of men every meal, but in the story he only ate one or two a few times with no stable frequency. Also, the crew tied themselves on to the sheep as they went out the cave, so that the monster couldn’t tell if that’s a sheep or a human being. However, in the movie, they only ran out the cave with the sheep, but not tied on to them.
