After Ponyboy wakes up and catches him breath he looks over to see Bob Sheldon

You would think having the author on set of their book to film adaptation would make the film exactly like the book, right? That's mostly true. Although The Outsiders is full of similarities between the movie and the book, there are still a few significant differences. These differences can be a break it or make it for the movie. The Outsiders while having many similarities, it also has many differences from the book that impacted it in positive and negative ways.

Dally and Johnny may seem very different, but they are actually a lot alike. For instance, Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston both have abusive parents or parents who do not care about their children. Dally parents do not even care about him he could even be dead and they do not care. Dally starters, “‘Shoot,my old man don't give a hang weather I’m in jail or dead in a car wreck

The novel The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, gave a realistic portrayal of teenage slum life along with depicting common themes such as loyalty and crime; in fact, the gangs of Tim Shepard and Ponyboy Curtis had their similarities and differences. First of all, the most apparent difference between the two gangs is their structure. Ponyboy stated that “the difference between his gang and ours---they had a leader and were organized” (Hinton 146). This shows how the two gangs were dissimilar because Ponyboy’s gang was composed of friends who looked out for each other. Moreover, Tim’s gang was unalike Ponyboy’s gang because of their nature. Ponyboy knew that “Shepard’s gang were used to fighting with anything they could get their hands on ---bicycle

Johnny and Dally both are similar as neglectful and abusive parents are both what they have. Buck Merrils is where Dally sleeps and not at

Although Johnny and Dally have multiple differences, they are similar because they both care about each other. When Johnny tells Dally he wants to turn himself in, Dally pleads for Johnny not to turn himself in. Dally talks to Johnny in a tone he never uses and says “‘You get hardened in jail. I don’t want that to happen to you. Like it happened to me . . .’” (90). Dally cares about Johnny because he sees Johnny as the person he would be if he would be like if he is not cold and

Two books, The Outsiders and To Kill A Mockingbird, are very diverse but also very different at the same time. One may read these two books and recall how different they are, one being about a group of misfits who are like family, and the other about two children and their Summers. When you think about the books, you will realise that they are similar in ways most people would not notice.

Friendship is mandatory to be able to trust and rely on one another. Hinton writes about troubles that Ponyboy goes through and how his friends have a great impact on these experiences. For example, Johnny killed Bob who was a member of the Socs, because he saw that Bob along with other Socs were trying to drown Ponyboy. He knew that he’d be in trouble, and he could have just left then and there. Instead, he killed Bob because they were hurting Ponyboy. Another situation where the author shows the theme of friendship is when Ponyboy got jumped and his whole gang came to help him. They were always ready to help a member of their group. Also, the situation when the church was on fire and Dally went to try and save Johnny, shows friendship as well. In chapter 6, Jerry, who Ponyboy thinks is one of the school’s teachers, says, “We think the towheaded kid is going to be all right. He burned one arm pretty badly, though, trying to drag the other kid out of the window,” (pg. 95). This tells us that Dally, who at first wouldn’t help the children in the church, helped Johnny get out because he was his friend and he cared about him. This shows how Dally demonstrates his friendship.
