A Lot of people were drowning Ponyboy but in the book Bob was drowning Ponyboy. Johnny has a cutś all over his body, but in the movie Johnny only had one coat. In the movie there were bunnies, but in the book there was no bunnies.Theirś a farmer in the book, but theirś no farmer in the movie.Thereś kids in the movie asking for money, but thereś no kids in the book asking for money.Johnnyś mom and Dally doesn't get in a fight in the movie, but in the book they get in
In the book miles take the bars down. But in the movie winnie gets miles out of jail. In the book miles and jesse kidnapped winnie. but in the movie it was just miles. In the book the horses got stolen. But in the movie the horses didn’t get stolen.
For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.
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.
The first difference that caught my eye was how there was no cat, in the book there was a cat named, Sammie, and Sammie always got stuck in one of Billy’s traps. But in the movie
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
They talk different they would in the movie and book.They have different bed as they would be.They got on the train in the movie and but not in the book.In the book they play Euker and in the movie they play rummy.
The book and the film were both simular, and yet different in many ways. An example would be, in the film, Ponyboy was walking to the drive-in and meeting Cherri and Marcia. Although in the book, Ponyboy began his journey by telling the readers about his experience about being jumped by the Socs and being threatened. The director probably had some options to pick from to leave out from the movie, and the director chosed this to leave out. Leaving out the part where Ponyboy was jumped was an effective move because without the experience Ponyboy was lost and helpless because he did not know what to do when he and Johnny got cornered in the park by Bob and other Socs.
Some things are different in the book and movie. Like Sunset Towers and Money in both versions. Sunset towers is luxurious in the book but a bad place to live downtown. The money the will was worth 200 million but in the movie it is worth 20 million. Another difference is that the Wexlers moved to Sunset Towers because they had no money, but in the book they moved because they had money. In the movie Jake Wexler is paying off his debt though they have money in the book. Jake Wexler is a
Second, in the book Little Ann was known to be smarter than Old Dan, but in the movie they looked alike and had no difference from their appearance and characters. Third, the book tells about how Billy caught the first coon to train his dogs, while the movie did not show such an action. The next difference is the chapter 11 of the book tells about Little Ann who almost got drowned in the icy water and Billy could save her owing to his old lantern, but we couldn’t see it in the movie. Another different thing is when Billy and The Pritchards’ boys, Rainie and Rubin, had a bet to tree the ghost coon. The book mentions that they betted two dollars for it, but 5 dollars in the movie. It is said in the book how Little Ann won the best looking hound contest, but the process didn’t appear in the movie. The last thing is in the book Billy got 4 coons, so he could win the contest, while in the movie it is said that Billy didn’t win the championship but he was given the title by Mr. Bellington, the one who won the match.

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.
