Compare And Contrast The Outsiders And The Outsiders

The book and the movie of the Outsiders are two very different stories. The book has so much more detail then the movie. The movie is not the most detailed but it does get its point across. There are may similarities and also many differences between the two the book is by far more interesting and more detailed then the movie. I enjoyed the book a lot and the movies a lot but the movie was missing a lot.

In The Outsiders, both the Socs and the Greasers spent most of their time in gang fights and disobeying the law. The Socs were wealthier and had a higher social status. “We get jumped by the Socs. I'm not sure how you spell it, but it's the abbreviation for the Socials, the jet set, the West-side rich kids. It's like the term "greaser," which is used to class all us boys on the East Side.We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder, too” (Hinton 4). The Greasers were poor and usually came from

“‘And tonight… people get hurt in rumbles, maybe killed. I’m sick of it because it doesn’t do any good. You can’t win, you know that, don’t you?’ And when I remained silent he went on: ‘You can’t win, even if you whip us. You’ll still be where you were before-at the bottom. And we’ll still be the lucky ones with all the breaks. So it doesn’t do any good, the fighting and the killing. It doesn’t prove a thing. We’ll forget it if you win, or if you don’t. Greasers will still be greasers and Socs will still be Socs. Sometimes I think it’s the ones in the middle that are really the lucky stiffs…’” (Hinton 116-117). Social groups have identified people for years, in good ways and bad ways, not just the 1960s but also today. In the book the Outsiders

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. Hinton are two books that take place in the year 1967. The Wednesday Wars focuses on a boy names Holling Hoodhood living in Long Island with his business family and school troubles. Holling’s father owns a business, Hoodhood and Associates, and will do anything for that business. As Holling learns his father admires his business over his own son, he surprisingly grows relationships with classmates and teachers. Holling finds how similar life is to famous literature and you see him go from “no guts”, as his sister might say, to growing more than his own father. The

“I really can’t tell what Socs have to sweat about good grades, good cars, good girls, madras and Mustangs and Corvairs- Man I thought, if I had worries like that I’d consider myself lucky” (Hinton, 1967, P. 36), thinks Ponyboy, a greaser who envies the Socs. In this quote, Ponyboy doesn’t see what problems the Socs face in their everyday lives. In the novel, The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton, the author introduces Ponyboy, a resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma, who fails to understand the Socs by misinterpreting what they truly are. The affluent Socs get all the glory but the impecunious greasers are just left with all the vain.

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. The Outsiders had different technology and social media, similar daily lives, and looked and wore different things then what we do now. They didn’t have much technology as we do now, they used payphones and a 300 series phones, but and now we use cell phones and have a lotlots of social media. They had similar daily lives like we do. We both hangout with our friends after school, eat, and slept, and had daily problems to solve in our daily lives. But the difference in our daily

Star Wars: A New Hope and The Outsiders are not as different as most might expect. The pair of stories feature many heroes throughout, focusing on Luke Skywalker and Ponyboy Curtis. Both of these stories were originally books, before being adapted into movies. The Hero’s Journey follows a narrative pattern that applies to nearly every story line there has ever been. The journey applies to both Star Wars: A New Hope and The Outsiders. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton follows a young boy living in rural Oklahoma, who is part of a gang of teenagers called Greasers. Ponyboy and his friends are constantly up against the opposing social group, the Socials, creating conflict between the two groups. Star Wars: A New Hope, directed by George Lucas, is one of the most famous movies of all time, which centers in on an young adult that ends up on a journey to save Princess Leia and help the Rebellion fight off the Empire. Despite the contrasting genres of the stories, Luke Skywalker and Ponyboy Michael Curtis have a similar day-to-day life, have comparable aid from others, and face challenges that are very much alike.

In the story The Outsiders, there is many life lessons that could help many people. Ranging from the people you hang out with, to people who need your help. You should always treat people how you want to be treated,even if that means giving something up. The main character, Ponyboy, experiences certain events in the story that makes you realize that these kind of conflicts are a reality. Ponyboy lives with his two brothers, Darry and Soda. Their parents died in a car crash. Ponyboy never realized how much his parents did for him. There is a “Gang” that Ponyboy is involved in called the Greasers. Their rival “Gang” is called the Socs. The Socs are kids that have a better upbringing and are more of rich kids. The Greasers are basically the opposite. The theme of this story is don’t take the things you have for granted.

The “OUTSIDERS”, a book and movie, portrays a small gang going through hard times. The Book and Movie may have the same plot but have small yet noticeable differences. Both stories take place around Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1965. These should be compared to show why sometimes movies get things wrong and why the book tends to be better, in this case they both stick to the plot with only a few missing or added details, such as the book is slower paced but has more detail, the movie misses or adds small details, and the movie destroys your thought of what characters look like.

Ever read a novel then watch the movie about the novel? Were the two made exactly the same or were some events or people different? It is alway interesting to compare the writers work to the director's work. The novel The Outsiders was written by S.E. Hinton and was published in 1967. The movie was made about 15 years later. The novel takes place in Oklahoma in the 1960’s in a town that is socially divided into gangs determined by their economic classes. One gang is made up of group of teenage guys known as “Greasers” who wear leather jackets, get into trouble, and are “tuff.” “Tuff” means you are cool or sharp looking. The other gang is called “Socs”and is short for socials. A group of teenage guys who wear preppy clothes and drive expensive cars, and are always drinking. These two gangs are constantly fighting each other. The main character is Ponyboy Curtis, a fourteen year old, living with his two older brothers, Darry and Sodapop after their parents were killed in a car accident the past year. The brothers are always hanging around their gang of friends; Steve, Two - Bit, Johnny, and Dally, who all grew up together and are like family. They all face many hardships of their own struggles between right and wrong in a society in which they believe they are Outsiders. There are many similarities and differences between the novel and the movie.

The book The Outsiders is about a gang member that kills a rival gang’s member. The story takes place during the mid 1960s in Tulsa, a city in Oklahoma. The plot involves two gangs, the Greasers, and the Socials ( also called Socs). The Greasers were people part of the working class or below. They tended to be portrayed as the poor, and dirty people who didn’t have any future or destiny. Also known as, the scums of the society. The Socs on the other hand, were the people of the upper class, the kings and queens of the society. They were portrayed as the emotionally stable, pampered, and spoiled brats who did what they want, and tended to get away with wrong doings.

People are able to judge others based off of their social class. Social classes are what split up the society in “The Outsiders”, and because of it there is constant tension between the two social classes. In “The Outsiders” it shows many times that the Socs and the Greasers don’t get along very well. If a greaser is walking alone there is

Some individuals can be nothing alike, black and white, or hero and villain. But it is unquestionable that everyone has something in common. For example, in S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders , two greasers who go by the name of Johnny and Dally are far from alike. Dally is mean, tough, and likes to fight, Johnny is kind, sensitive, and a pacifist. But, they still share some similarities; Both characters come from abusive and neglectful parents, and place very little value on their lives. Even when presented with these character traits one could still compare and contrast the two greasers with ease.

The Outsiders book and movie are the same but also very different to. These are some of the similarities I saw in the movie and book. It generally goes across the same idea/lesson that we are all the same rich,poor, or average. And that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, like some greasers are mean but some are nice, and how some socs are mean and some are nice. Also in the movie and the book they also both explain how johnny’s home life was harsh and brutal were no one in the home cared or loved for him. Also that Pony,Darry, and Soda were living them three, because of their parents dying in a car crash suddenly. It also shows that the greaser are like family nothing can break them apart, and they trust each other with their lives and love and care for them more than some of their own parents care for them. It also talks about in the movie and book that Johnny killed Bob
