Compare And Contrast The Outsiders

Ponyboy Curtis in the fourteen-year-old boy that explains the story in both the book and the movie, and also the youngest of the greasers. Ponyboy is very intelligent compared to the rest of the gang he is most defenatly the smartest to them all. Because his parents have died in a car accident, Ponyboy lives with his two brothers Darry and Sodapop in both the book and movie. Darry repeatedly accuses Ponyboy of lacking common sense in the book more so then in the movie, but Ponyboy is a much brighter then his brother takes him for. Throughout the novel, Ponyboy struggles with class division, violence, innocence, and familial love but in the movie they dont focus on his school as much. He matures over the course of the book and the movie both.

S.E Hinton’s, “The Outsiders” and Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s ,“Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” are two young adult novels with greatly different stories yet support the same ideology. Both works focus on the lives of two teenage boys, Ponyboy, of Hinton’s novel, and Aristotle, of Sáenz’s. The story of Ponyboy takes place in the year 1969, and focuses on a huge but short period of his life. It tells about his struggle as an orphan under the care of his two older brothers and deals with gang violence, socioeconomic status, and death. Whereas, the story of Aristotle takes place during the 1980’s and covers a long period of his life and involves his experiences with his relationship with his hands-on parents, his sexual orientation, and struggling with his awkward years. There are many conceptions of what is appropriate for young readers, but these two novels defend that young people should be informed. By examining “The Outsiders” and “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe”, this ideology of communicating mature topics to these readers is supported as the characters of both novels deal with the challenges of belonging, identity, and staying true to themselves, as well as reinforce the notion that adolescents can benefit from this knowledge.

While Holling needs space from his “man” of a father, Ponyboy is desperate for his parents to stay with him. The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt and The Outsiders by S.E.

In this essay, I am going to compare the similarities and differences of teenage life in The Outsiders to the life of teenagers now. The life of The Outsiders and the life of teenagers now are different in some ways and are similar in other ways.

A young boy walks out of a theatre alone as a blue mustang approaches him. Or was it, a young boy is writing about a random topic then walks around with his two friends causing trouble? Books and movies do not always line up completely. However, The Outsiders is one example of a book and movie that have same and different aspects.The Outsiders was originally a book written in the 1960’s by a fifteen year old girl, S.E.

The story is placed in the 1960’s about a group of greasers who take things too far with a few socs and learn more about growing up.The movie and book have been reviewed while taking notes about them. A greaser is a social label, referring to as underprivileged, poor, and troublesome, commonly greasers are proud of their hair and know how to look tough. A soc is another social label that is opposite to greaser. Socs are referred to as rich, spoiled, and they look down on greasers. The Outsiders book and movie have similarities and differences

In what way can two people that have grown up with the same lifestyle be so different but at the same time so similar. It seems unrealistic. However, in S. E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders, two characters with such characteristics exist. Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston are two greasers that at similar because they both place little value on their lives and have parents who don’t give them the attention they need. Despite the similarities these two have, Dally and Johnny have their own divergence from each other such as giving different advice and getting in trouble with the law. Thus, their lifestyle and way of living Jonny Cade and Dallas Winston have some unique differences and strong similarities.

The movie is fairly similar to the book except for a few exceptions. One of the main things is that the movie is less detailed and is faster paced. Another thing is that pony never went to the hospital after the fire and didn't have a concussion. When Dallas was driving to the hospital with Pony and he got pulled over by the police who was on a motorcycle. While At the hospital Johnny’s mom comes to visit him but Pony and Dallas don't talk to her. When Dally leaves he goes and robs a store and the police are after him. Then when the police catch him he raises his unloaded handgun and the police shoot him. He gets shot once and does a few rolls stands up and gets shot more. The gang goes home after finding Dally and Ponyboy starts writing the “Outsiders”.

The book excerpt and movie clip of The Outsiders have several similarities and differences. The two different mediums have some clear similarities. In the text portion and film clip, they both show 1950s dialect. In the book snippet, Ponyboy uses the word “a’woofin,” which is sort of a slang word in the 1950s. In the film adaptation, the dialect and accents from Ponyboy, Johnny, and the Socs show that they were in the 1950s, along with the use of some 1950s slang. Another event both accounts have that are alike is that they use the same insults in the excerpt and movie. In both accounts, a Soc said, “You know what a greaser is? White trash with long hair.” In addition, Ponyboy also threw back an insult in both mediums, saying, “You

In the graphic novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, the interactions between Ponyboy and Dally, two characters with opposing beliefs, illuminate how people must go through hard times to finally recognize and accept each other’s differences by listening and understanding each other's perspectives. After a long night Ponyboy came home late one night, his brother, Darry was furious and yelled, “I didn't think! I forgot! That’s all I heard out of you! Can’t you think of anything?” (50). Darry’s lack of acceptance for Ponyboy’s contrasts in mind set results in anger and confusion, which ends up directing to a hurtful path in their brotherly bond. As time went on, the brothers realized how their dissimilarities do not affect how much they love each

In the 1950's everything in America was great it was a very illustrious decade in history. We stood, “summit of the world” as the Prime of Britain commented. The US had the strongest, uttermost powerful military at the time. Our economy was booming. Cars, food, and house were more available than ever. Equally important, was Tulsa, Oklahoma, dubbed as “America’s Most beautiful city.”Tulsa’s economy was booming as well. the oil business was successful. After World War II America was great. But like most things you can't judge a book by its cover. The education in America was worse than ever. Some kids wouldn't receive proper discipline. And with that, They didn't know right from wrong. Just like both gangs in The Outsiders especially the Socs. In The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, Ponyboy Curtis is having a hard life not only did his parents died 8 months before. He is a part of the greasers, a gang of poor, middle to lower-class teens who live in the slums. Still, that doesn't matter because they are family. On the other hand, and side of town are the Socs a clan of rich stuck-up children who get everything in their heart's desire. The Soc do crime to get attention or just because they can. Likewise, they are criminals that are made. Their family life/ situations make them into who they are and how the Socs act. At the same time, the relationships in the Socs influence the traits that are perceived by the Socs from the Greasers. Also, the society defines them, making barriers, some people break the barriers. Still, more people spend their life inside the living by definition of who they are, assigned by society.

“Opposite attract?” Have you ever heard that saying? In the novel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, two characters show some similarities, but also differences. The two characters I picked out to compare and contrast are Dallas Winston and Johnny Cade. At the beginning of the story Dallas is known as a tough greaser unlike Johnny who is afraid of his own shadow. Then toward the end, the two characters flip personalities when Johnny becomes tough from saving children from a church and Dallas becomes weak after seeing a friend die.

Who faces more struggle? “There isn’t any real good reason for fighting except self-defense.”, said ,S.E.Hinton, The Outsiders.

The Greasers are poor kids and the Socs are rich.
