The Odyssey and The Tourist by Sarah

We watched "The Odyssey" and "The Tourist". They are totally different books and movies. We watched the movie "The Tourist" and we watched and read "The Odyssey" and they have totally diffident stories.
One thing that is totally different is that "The &" is in Venice, Italy and "The Odyssey" is in Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. In "The Tourist", I can see that it is very recent and the movie is new. "The Odyssey" was written by Homer in the 11th century BC after the Trojan War.

The second thing was that the point when the Tourist, Frank some thing ( Alexander Pierce ) is running from cops and bad guys in Venice because he stole money from the bad rich people. In "The Odyssey" Odysseus, is traveling back from the Trojan War. On his way, Odysseus has lots of adventures on the on the way home from Turkey. On his way back to Greece, he gets lost and stops in Egypt on the way. That is a difference of the plot.

The last reason that makes the two stories so different is because, I think, "The Odyssey" really happened because the Trojan War really happened. "The Tourist" was fake because Alexander Pierce did not exist. If he did exist, ''Alexander Pierce'' wouldn't have made a movie on himself stealing the money. The movie made him look bad.

I think "The Tourist" is so different from "The Odyssey" for so many reason's that I just told you. Those reason's are the time, place, and the plot.

SARAH LOR ROLPH!!!!!
