Pony tried to convince himself that what happened last night was a dream, but he could remember every detail of the whole night.

A book composed into a movie is a delicate task. There are many components and scenes that are considered before being embedded in a film. In The Outsiders, there was a devious amount of detail neglected in the film. On the other hand, the book portrays the feelings and character relationships. Scenes that had specific meaning were shattered, several portions of the film were exaggerated, and the central message of the entire movie was mislaid. These fundamentals simply obscured the main message and made the movie disorientated.

A theme in The Outsiders is the strongest friendships are not based on wealth. This theme shows up multiple times in the book. The greasers are poor, but their bond is much stronger than the Socs'. This theme first shows up at the very start of the book, when Ponyboy is jumped well walking out of the movie theater. All of his friends come to his rescue and fight off the guys who attacked him. "I lay there and wondered what in the world was happening - people were jumping over me and running by me and I was too dazed to figure it out,"(6 Hinton) "By then I had figured that all the noise I heard was the gang coming to rescue me."(7 Hinton) Ponyboy's friends and brothers will stop whatever they are doing to help one of their people in need.

The decisive climax in the novel The outsiders by SE Hinton was leading up to the death of Johnny. He was the symbolic favored representative of the greasers family unit, "the baby" of the tight knit gang. Johnny was to even the most hardened greaser a sliver of hope in the bleak world they lived in. The gang felt the need to protect and care for him due his tumultuous home life and he portrayed shreds of innocence and morality that they all had in them but felt the need to disguise to hold on to the greaser image which was in reality all they had.

A comparison to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using the mediums for The Outsiders to show differences, can be made. In the novel The Outsiders there is more detail. Here is the explanation. The novel has those important parts that shouldn’t be important, but they are.

“Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset.” This is what Ponyboy thinks to himself as he was walking with Cherry after the movies. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the mid 1960’s. This story is all about Ponyboy growing up around the conflicts between two societies. All of the main characters face many conflicts, which are mainly about their social statuses, about the rich and about the poor. In the story, Johnny kills Bob, who is Cherry’s boyfriend at the time, this causes Johnny and Ponyboy to hide out at an abandoned church; there is a fire at the church, and Johnny and Ponyboy save multiple kids, but injuring themselves in the process. Johnny

According to Philip Emeagwali, “The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.” In my own words this quote addresses that hardships creep around every corner and if you face them determinedly you will end up stronger in the future. This quote relates to the novel The Outsiders by informing people that tough moments in life are hard to overcome. Just like Ponyboy has to learn to overcome the death of his best friend, Johnny. The main theme that S.E. Hinton tries to convey through the novel is: hardships lurk wherever you let them. She implies that you should stay strong and courageous through tough times.

The book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton; is a book that has a strong and deep rivalry between between two gangs, the Socs’ and the Greasers’; as they both perceive each other as different they are really more similar than they think. What is the difference between people who live on the west side or the east side of the town? The Greasers are "poorer than the Socs and the middle class...” stealing things, reviving old souped-up cars and have a gang fight once in a while. While Socs are "the jet set, the Westside rich kids," who "jump greasers and wreck houses and throw beer blasts for kicks.” But their bad reputation goes away in a blink of an eye.

The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton is a book about a boy named Ponyboy and his friends, the Greasers. The Greasers are always in a battle with the Socs. The Socs are the richest kids in town that look down at the Greasers. The Greasers always stick together through thick and thin because they are all that they have. The Greasers have it worse than the Socs because they have broken families, everyone thinks very low of them, and they’re always getting jumped by the Socs.

The outsiders is an outstanding book It’s probably one of my favorites. There are Greasers and Socs and they are different groups but their is only one thing that makes them different. The one thing that makes the Greasers and Socs different is money. The Socs have a lot but the Greaser don’t so they have to learn how to survive without a lot of money. Johnny is Ponyboy’s best friend they do everything together. Everyone in this book learns something and at the end of the book Ponyboy learns lesson. Johnny encourages Ponyboy with everything that he does. I think Ponyboy learned the biggest lesson in the last couple pages of the story.
