The Outsiders Comparison

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.

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.

A comparison between both mediums for The Outsiders can be made by showing both of their advantages and disadvantages to show that one of them is better than the other.

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

Did you know that S.E. Hinton’s first royalty check was only worth ten dollars? Although, The Outsiders did not get popular very quickly, it was eventually made into a major motion picture and is now a best-seller. The Outsiders the movie and book are both great works, but the book provided more detail and was just way better. Therefore, this paper will compare the similarities and discrepancies between the book and movie. Ultimately, the goal of this essay is to provide evidence that the movie was quite different than the book.

The Outsiders was about the greasers and the Socs. The Socs always jump the greasers, one day Johnny fights back, he ends up killing Bob. Johnny and Ponyboy run away to a church and hide until Dally comes and gets them. They then see the church was burning, Ponyboy and Johnny run into it to save the kids inside. Johnny and Dally get injured, Ponyboy is okay. The greasers win the rumble, the Socs will stay out of the greasers territory, Johnny passes away from his injuries, Dally robs a store, the police shoot him, and he does not survive the shots. In the end Ponyboy decides to regather his life and he starts with writing his theme for his ELA class. The book The Outsiders book, the

Darry didn’t appear much on the film, but I could know that he was a tough, strict person. Also, I could see that he loved Pony and Soda a lot even though Darry was not a person who shows his thoughts to others. Darry was well-described in the movie, but on the other hand, the other characters looked or acted quite differently from the original characters in novel. For instance, the book told us that Pony looked as if he was fourteen, but the actor looked as if he was over twenty years old; the book also stated that he had long hairs that were squared off at the back, but the hair was short in the movie. Another example is Johnny; in the book, it said that his eyebrows were fully covered by his bang, but it wasn’t in the movie. The novel also said that he looked so pale and scared when someone surprised him, like how Two-Bit suddenly talked to Johnny from the back in the movie house. However, Johnny didn’t look that scared or fearful in the film. Overall, the characters in movie somehow altered from the original

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.

Friendships are like peanut butter and jelly, they are great by themselves, but even better together. If every person had a friend just like them, life would be boring. A friend that is somewhat similar, but also somewhat different is just right. In the novel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Johnny and Dally share many similarities and differences.

The movie and book have a few similar qualities. One similarity is they both tell/show that Dallas (dally) gets shot down by the police. After Dally robs a store the police shoot him. Another similarity is the little kid bites Pony. When Pony is helping save the little kids from inside the burning church, one kid bites Ponyboy’s finger. With as much as we know the similarities lets move on to the differences.

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

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.

Around ½ of the world’s population live on $2.50 a day. The Poem “Poverty and Wealth” and the novel The Outsiders are very similar to each other. In more ways than none, there are many themes in the poem, that are represented in the novel. In both the poem and the novel, you learn that turing away from conflicts won’t solve anything.

The book “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hilton and the movie based on the book are very similar in many different ways. “The Outsiders” is the theme that Ponyboy wrote for his english class. This book was made into a movie, and can be compared in many ways. They both show the lifestyle of the two gangs, how one is rich and the other isn’t. They both show that it doesn’t matter how you’re stereotyped you can still be a hero.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and “Here” by Alessia Cara both have the similar theme that conforming to the customs and rules of a group can create problems for an individual. In the song, Alessia talks about how she doesn’t really want to be at the party and that she would rather do something else. She is trying to conform with her friends but she really doesn’t want to be at the party. When Cherry Valance is with her friends, she finds that she doesn’t “mean half of what [she] was saying” (Hinton 30).
