Compare And Contrast Ponyboy And Dally

Have you ever wanted to hear a book about a murder? The story is about Ponyboy and his brother having to face hard stuff in their life. Talks about them having a lot of close friends. There is so many more stuff in the book then the movie. Compare and Contrast Characters:

When we saw the movie and the book and saw the movie, there were a couple of thing that they did not mention or did in the movie. In the movie they cut out some thing from the book. They did not really put everything they said in the book into the movie. They also did not really get some people personal feature. Here are something that were different from the movie, than what it said from the book.

Dally and Johnny have one very remarkable similarity and that gang is their family. The one similarity stands out more than others because it describes them both the best. They both have parents who do not give them the right attention like any other child. For instance, Dally was arrested at such a young age. If his parents cared about him, he would not of been running with gangs and he would not of been in jail in the first place. Dally never brings up his mother and he only brings up his father once to say, “‘Shoot, my old man don’t give a hang whether I’m in jail or dead in a car wreck or drunk in the gutter’”(88). Dally Winston is the real gang member and that is his life. Dally makes

The original book is told from the perspective of pony boy so he is very biased to the socs point of view. In one scene Dally, pony boy's older brother, slaps Ponyboy. Ponyboy is very biased to Dally because he thinks dally is being unkind and does not care about him. This is related to Johnny stabbing scene in where you are still very biased to the antagonist in that particular scene. just like you are bias to antagonast in this scens Dally

The novel has more detail than the movie because in the novel it showed more of the characters backstories it doesnt talk about Ponyboy’s school or about Dally’s past life was like before he moved and how Johnny got beat up by the Soc while the movie skipped all of that. Another is that in the novel you can hear the character’s thoughts you could hear what Ponyboy was thinking throughout the whole story and because the novel was in first person and the movie was in third person so you couldn't really hear what the character was thinking in the movie.

Friends are like knives. They will stab, right in the back. One second it may be smooth cutting but then there is arguing over differences and a finger is chopped off. In the story The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, Johnny and Dally are similar yet very different.

One of the differences is the movie and the novel have different beginnings. The movie starts with Pony writing. The novel starts with Pony getting jumped by a

“The hearing wasn’t anything like I Valence and her parents and a couple of the other guys that had jumped Johnny and me that night.” (Page 167) Without this scene, you wouldn’t know if Pony actually got tried and could have made him look worse and the movie wasn’t in to show this “Darry wheeled around and slapped me so hard that it knocked me against the door” (50). Darry shoving Pony made him look meaner and worse of a person than him slapping pony “And those guys were bigger than me.” It made Pony look weaker in the book because he was smaller than the others and younger this made his look weaker/stronger in the movie or book. The book was better because it included more scenes and more of the character development for the

During the book of The Outsiders Pony is very sad and is grieving over Dally and Johnny’s death however, in the movie Pony is less sad making him less emotional in the movie. In the book The Outsiders Ponyboy was told by his teacher that he had to write a theme to get a passing grade in his class which helped him overcome his sadness of Johnny and Dally dying in contrast to, the movie where Pony is not told to write a theme he just decided to write a book about what had happened. In the book of The Outsiders Sodapop got mad that Darry and Pony were fighting. However in the movie Soda did not do this which changes his mood at the end of the book. In both the book and the movie Ponyboy befriends Randy forming a new bond for him with a

Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.

Picture having a mother who does not care and is neglectful. Imagine getting shot by cops or burned in a fire. Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston, two characters from S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, are similar in some ways and different in others. Johnny and Dally have similarities as they both have abusive, neglectful parents and place little value on their lives. Despite these similarities they also have differences as they give different advice to Ponyboy another greaser from The Outsiders before Johnny dies a hero and Dally dies a Gallant. In the end Johnny and Dally have similarities and differences.

a very handy pacifier for him such as: When he thought he might go to

When passing someone on the street do you judge them on how they appear to you? Well there is always more that meets the eye because people are more similar than you think! All people no matter from what gender, race, gang we are all similar. “Randy tried to grin, but I could tell he was close to tears.”(116) Ponyboy realized at that moment take Socs are not different, they are just people with feelings like greasers...like everybody.

The characters in both book and movie have some similarities and differences. Darry was mean and tuff in the book, but in the movie he seemed happier, not so rude to everyone. In the book Two-Bit was funny though in the movie he was hilarious. Dally’s personality didn’t change much but his looks did, in the book Dally had blonde hair

When the socs and the greasers are going to have the big rumble in the book Darry asks if anyone wants to fight him but in the movie the person that he fight in both the book and movie says he will fight him. After the big rumble Dally and Ponyboy go to see Johnny who is almost dead and after he dies Ponyboy freaks out in the book and thinks he's not dead but in the movie it is only Dally. In the book Dally goes and robs a grocery store but in the movie he robs the gas station. When Dally leaves in the movie the guy shoots Dally and injures him but in the book he never had a gun. When Dally is shot by the police he is shot at the park in the movie but in the book he is shot in the street under the lamppost. There is so much more differences in the movie but it would be impossible to say them all so that is all of the differences i found from the book and
