The Outsiders Book Vs Movie

It is an experience of a lifetime to read a story in a book and watch the movie. The book and movie, The Outsiders, share many similarities and differ in equally many ways. S. E. Hinton narrated the Outsiders, and this high-quality narration was equally translated to the movie (2). However, they seem to vary in so many ways. This write-up examines the similarities and differences between the book and movie, The Outsiders, in terms of the plot, characters, setting, style, and theme.

A few similarities between the movie and book are that the movie still has the complete Greaser gang Pony, Johnny, Soda, Darry, Dally, Two-Bit and Steve. They still have some of the more sad part like when Johnny and Dally die. There is still lots of conflict between the Greasers and the Soc’s. There is still the situation where Johnny

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

Finally, the other similarity I discovered was when Johnny killed Bob. In the book, they went to where Dally was and Dally helped them by giving them his gun, jacket and money. Dally also told them where to hide and how to get there. (Hinton 53-56). The movie also portrays this scene very well. Again, this is only one of the many similarities in the book and movie.

Secondly, Ponyboy did not get sick, resulting no conversation or any connection with Ponyboy and Darry. In the book, the conversation helped Ponyboy and Darry get closer, and helped form a better relationship between the two brothers. The film included Ponyboy being sick, but not to the point where Darry was worried sick and wanted to talk to Pony. The cutting of this moment was not needed, because from the movie's point of view, it shows that Darry and Ponyboy have no bonding moments, but in the book Ponyboy and Darry have this kind of brother relationship without

The novel of The Outsiders is better than the movie. The novel gives more vivid details than the movie does. Even though the movie shows actual image, the novel lets you have your own image of what’s going on. The movie did not show the part where Ponyboy was getting jump. That is where most of the conflicts started. It also didn’t show the part where they were at the court, which is a really important part in The Outsiders. The feeling and tension are more intense in the novel than it is in the movie. Over all, the movie is not better than the novel.

There are many similarities in the book and the movie. One of the Similarities is the allusion “nothing gold can stay” This is significant because this is a poem that ponyboy remembered when he was in the church that was fitting at the time. This poem is saying stay young stay innocent don’t grow up too fast like some of them have had to do. Another allusion that is similar is Gone with the wind. This appeared when Johnny bought a whole bunch of food and things for them when they were in the church. Johnny really wanted to read the book and it meant a lot to him. When he was in the hospital he asked for a copy of the book. The last similarity in the two is that ponyboy is the narrator. It is first person limited and we only get to see how Ponyboy sees the whole situation. We don’t get to see it through any other perspective Both of the book and the movie are set up like this.

The novel and the movie share many similarities.The book and the novel share the same problems. A example johnny and pony run away since johnny killed bob.In both johnny gets injured badly and dies.

- This book is a really good book not a very good movie because they have so many differences if they would have not started in the middle of the book then it would have been really good and entertaining but it just doesn't give me the vision in my head of the whole book . A movie to me is where a book comes to life and, but it still was a good movie but could have been

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 Outsiders is a book that has been read by many people. Most of the people have enjoyed the book, but not the movie or vise versa. The Outsiders was very good and had a great story behind it. The reasons why the book is better than the movie are the book gives more detail, people can let their imagination go wild, and the movie leaves out key elements that the book has.

That is some of the many differences in the book and movie of The

When watching the film, the first difference the viewer can see between the book and the movie is how the characters are portrayed. A notable example would be Carlson. In the film,

The Outsiders novel and movie included many differences and similarities. One difference, is the scene where Pony is hit by his older brother, Darry. This makes him upset enough to run out the door. In the movie it is different, Darry just shoves him. The result of his older brother’s anger is still the same though, which is Pony running out the door. The lack of Darry hitting Ponyboy in the movie makes it seem less likely that he would react the same way. A similarity between the movie and the novel is the narrative by Ponyboy. The narrative is the same in the beginning and end of both. Ponyboy is determined to tell the story so that others won’t be so judgmental of people they see on the streets. A big difference between the movie and the

Even though The Outsiders movie is based on the book, are there also differences between the two? First, there is plenty of similarities. For example, Johnny kills Bob by the fountain in both. Another example is how Ponyboy and Johnny ran away and hid out in the church. Lastly, the church burned down and caused Johnny to die in both. If Johnny didn’t die in both the plot would not be the same. To end, there are also a lot of differences. In the book, Ponyboy ran away because Darry slapped him, and in the movie, he ran away because Darry shoved him. Also, in the novel, the church was on a hill and in the movie it was in a field. Lastly, Ponyboy opens Soda’s note at DQ in the book and at the church in the movie. Although
