The Outsiders Movie And Movie Differences

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.

On April 24, 1967, S.E. Hinton published the book The Outsiders. Then sixteen years later director Francis Ford Coppola’s movie version of The Outsiders was released on March 23, 1983. The book is about a young boy named Ponyboy who lives with his two older brothers because his parents were killed in a automobile accident. Ponyboy goes through a lot of tough times because he is a part of this group known as the Greasers. The Greasers are a group that are known for being from the poor side of town and the Socs are the rich kids on the other side of town. Throughout the entire book the two groups kept fighting and then something terrible happened that changed Ponyboy’s life forever. The movie and book have many differences

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.

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.

The Outsiders is a wonderful novel to read in the classroom because of its conflicts with one another. During this novel, the Curtis brothers realize that they are the only family they have left, and they make the best out of that. Throughout this novel, Darry, Soda, and Pony have changed dramatically throughout this

Both novels contrast in the area of adult involvement. In “The Outsiders”, there is little to no parental involvement, adults are either dead or completely negligent of their children. The young boys

While Holling needs space from his “man” of a father, Ponyboy is desperate for his parents to stay with him. The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt and The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton are two books that take place in the year 1967. The Wednesday Wars focuses on a boy names Holling Hoodhood living in Long Island with his business family and school troubles. Holling’s father owns a business, Hoodhood and Associates, and will do anything for that business. As Holling learns his father admires his business over his own son, he surprisingly grows relationships with classmates and teachers. Holling finds how similar life is to famous literature and you see him go from “no guts”, as his sister might say, to growing more than his own father. The

Majority of movies don’t follow along with the books as an example my class read “The Outsiders” was written by S.E. Hinton and the director for the movie was Francis Ford Coppola. “The Outsiders” was about seven friends that were greasers, three whom were siblings, a greaser is a person who has long greasy hair, live on south side of town, and they ain't rich kids, but one night something happened that changed everything . We ended up seeing the movie but some of the scenes were nothing alike the book. I mean to be totally honest there wasn’t a lot of errors just missing some important parts I wouldn’t say they added some scenes to it. Naturally they were young men acting like greasers, but they really acted really well as a family, that is what I think made the movie like a true family bond. I think how they acted like very close and like caring, it was really good because in the book and the movie they were all very close and they acted like a real family. This writing is about what the differences are in the movie from the book and what important parts I thought they missed and didn't put in the movie what kind of

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

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.

The movie “the Outsiders” is very different from the book, written by S. E. Hinton. The very first scene in the movie shows Ponyboy writing in his journal the very first words in the book, “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight…” (The Outsiders). The book does not show or say in the beginning of the book that Pony was writing in his journal. Almost right after that scene it barely shows a slight argument/fight between greasers and socs. The book tells us that the fight was more serious and Ponyboy got hurt pretty bad, when in the movie all Pony gets is a little scar. After Johnny gets hurt when the old church catches on fire he ends up dying. Dally, another greaser that is part of the main group of friends, ends up shoplifting because he really cared about Johnny. Dally was eventually shot and killed by the police. The scene in the movie where Dally is in the store, thinking about shoplifting, is not in the book. “He’s just robbed a grocery store and the cops are after him.” (Hinton 153). The whole scene of Dally in the store is not in the book. Although there are many differences between the movie and the book, “the Outsiders”, there are also many similarities.

The Outsiders is a book that changed the style of young adult writers because it went off from the genre that young adult writer were using during that time period. The reader sees the everyday problems that teenagers were going through, “I can’t take much more

One scene is when Darry hit Ponyboy in the book. In the movie Darry tackled Ponyboy and then Ponyboy left. In the book after the rumble, Sodapop helped Ponyboy up. But in the movie Dally helped Ponyboy up and they left right away. In the book Ponyboy was getting jumped and then the guys from the gang came to help Ponyboy. But in the movie that whole scene was not included at

Ponyboy once said, “I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me”. The Outsiders, By S.E. Hinton, is an outstanding book, and movie, that tells about the rivalry between the less fortunate people, the Greasers, and the more wealthy people, the Socs. The Greasers are an inseparable group of tuff kids, that have gone through many hard times in their life. The Socs are a group of good looking and smart kids who came from a wealthy background.

The Outsiders in my opinion, was an amazing book that actually took effect on my emotions, which came towards the climax of the book, and mostly towards the end. My point being is that, “The Outsiders” made me feel emotions like sadness, and sorrow, which would normally be a normal type of reaction in a book that deals with drama. But the book mainly made me feel like I had some similarities with the main character of the book, his name is Ponyboy. Ponyboy was one of the few characters that I felt like I could relate to in the entire story of the book, the second ( last ) character that I had at least one similarity with was named Johnny Cade. Both Ponyboy, and Johnny Cade were characters with very shy and nervous personalities, but mainly Ponyboy is the 14 year old boy ( The Protagonist of the story ) who is very shy, very smart in school, but does not have much common sense outside of school, and has two older siblings. His older brother Sodapop who connects and bonds with him more than his eldest brother Darry, and Darry is the more strict one to Ponyboy on a daily basis. The way how this book use literature is on communication, the book had made me stop and think on how I felt like I was Ponyboy at some parts of the story ( thought provoking ). I understood the meaning of the theme in that book, which was the whole conflict between the
