The Outsiders Movie And Book Similarities

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.

In the book “The Outsiders” there is more detail and the plot seems to go at a slower pace than the movie. The greasers are from the west side of town while

There are other significant similarities between the movie and the book, so if I overlooked or forgot any extremely crucial points, forgive me.

As many similarities there are connecting the two universes of the book and the movie, there are also many differences between them, disconnecting the universes. In the beginning of the movie, it starts out with Ponyboy walking on the sidewalk. But, in the book, it starts out with Ponyboy leaving the movies and getting jumped by the Socs and having the gang to save him, which is completely skipped over in the movie. Another crucial detail that was either skipped or modified was where the Socs were located vs where the Greasers were located. In the book, the Greasers were inhabited on the East side of Tulsa and the Socs in the West, but in the movie, the Greasers are in the North while the Socs are in the South. Not only are the locations different, but the major scene where Dally dies was different as well. In the movie, Dally is skimming through magazines before ripping one, walking over to the store clerk, holding the heater up to his head, and demanding he gives him money. In the book, the store does get robbed, but it doesn't mention how the clerk pulled a heater of his own out and began to shoot at Dally as he was running away. Another scene modified differently in the movie is the ending. In the book, it ends with Ponyboy being sick and making up an assignment, but in the movie he immediately goes to school

I like the Outsiders in the form of a book better than in the form of a movie because, the movie wasn’t as descriptive as the written form was. The book form had was also much more thrilling, and interesting. The Movie was missing many key points that could have made it better.

The Outsiders book is different from the movie by how it starts, parts of storyline, and the reason behind the book. In The Outsiders book started with Ponyboy Curtis walking out of a movie house.(Hinton 1) Later, he gets jumped by socs (Hinton 5). When he gets jumped it is important to the book because it gives Ponyboy an even bigger reason to not like socs on a further personal level. When Ponyboy and Johnny rescue the five children from the burning church it

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.

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. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.

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.

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

In the novel and movie The Outsiders there are many differences in events that are present in

The actor choices from the film compare to what the book envisioned, but also contrast. The character of Daisy is not similar in the film to what the book

Foremost, it is very recognizable that the overall flow of the story is same, but most of the plot events are not the same. Though, there were same events happening in both novel and the movie. For example, in both

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.

The Outsiders is a book that was published in 1967 and the movie was released in 1983. The Outsiders has two main “groups” of people in the story, Outsiders and Socs. Socs are the rich kids with fancy mustangs and Greasers are the “hood” type that have each other's backs. In this adventure a kid named Ponyboy gets himself into a huge mess when his friend Johnny took things way too far by killing a Soc. I think that the book is better than the movie because the book gives better detail and descriptions, you can feel and understand emotion, and you can experience character growth.
