In the movie “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton I gave the movie a 3 out of 5 star rating. I give the movie a 3 out of 5 because some things that were in the book they changed in the movie. The movie was mainly about Ponyboy and his two brothers and the rest of the Greaser gang. The greasers and another group of people called the Socs were enemies. As a result of them not getting along, it led to many other problems throughout the story. I do not like how they did that because they left very important parts of the story that were in the book. In the book there was more of Ponyboys inner thinking. In the movie there was no inner thinking of Ponyboys. Another thing that was changed in the movie was that Ponyboy was less emotional.

The Outsiders, written by S. E. Hinton, is said to be the grandfather novel to young adult literature. This novel inspired the younger, more confessional main character and the more personal story that we are familiar with today.

Originally published in 1967, the novel’s popularity has skyrocketed resulting in a movie adaptation by Frances Ford Coppold in 1983. The popularity of this novel remains intact even today because the readers find the struggles of Ponyboy and his gang of friends to hold relevance within their own lives. Book reviews from the novels original publication date,

The Outsiders is a very good book and should remembered forever. This story is based during the mid 1900’s in a town divided by socs and greasers. The socs are the popular rich kids and greasers our the less popular poor kids. This book has many life lessons and kept me on the edge of my toes. The book the Outsiders is a book that shows how choices really effect a person, what a person looks like depends on how others treat them, and how everyone wants to be apart of something.

In a literary critique of the outsiders, Based on my critique the book should have 4 out of 5 stars because based on my observation of the book it was actually a good book and it had a lot of details and explanations. For my critiques I am doing the cover of the book critiquing that. Another critique is critiquing the characters actions. My last but not least critique is the humor of the book based on my critique some parts of the novel where humor.

Well then. After spending three months getting beaten up by an old goblin, I’m gonna get beat up by a buff orc.
