The Similarities Between The Outsiders Movie And Novel

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.

In english are class read a book called The Outsiders, then we watched the movie and did wrote about what was different, these are a couple of the differences i found out. Darry Ponyboy's brother in the book and movie seems a whole lot meaner to Pony in the book. Early in the book Ponyboy gives descriptions about all of his friends and his two brothers, but in the movie their hairstyles are different. In the book and movie Ponyboy and his two friend Two Bit and Johnny go to a movie and in the book they were in an inside theater but the movie shows they were outside. Ponyboy had also said in the book there was no one there besides them and two other girls but there were a couple others there too. Johnny Ponyboy's friend is shorter than him in the movie but in the book Pony said he was the shortest.

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 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.

In El Dorado California, once called Mud Springs, lived two twin sisters Elisa and Elizabeth. These 11 year olds lived with their grandmother Myra whom took care of them since they were 4 years of age after their parents passed away in a tragic car accident. They lived humbly in a small log cabin. Elisa and Elizabeth’s favorite pass time was to play in the forest; they loved acting and playing as magicians attempting to do magic tricks.

One of the major disappointments in the movie was when Darry pushed pony boy instead of hitting him as it claimed in the book. The book "The Outsiders" clearly stated that Pony boy had gotten in an argument with Darry after coming home late without letting anyone know where he was at Soda-pop later on jumped in trying to stick up for pony boy then Darry started yelling at Soda-pop telling him to mind his own business. That is when Pony boy got angry and yelled at Darry like no one else ever has Darry then had no other reaction but to punch him so Pony boy quickly reacted and ran out the house and met up with Johnny this scene in the book made it so suspenseful and intriguing knowing he had a reason to have run away. In the movie it showed Darry,Soda-pop, and Pony boy arguing

“But I was still lying and I knew It ,I lie to myself all the time but I never Believe me” Ponyboy had said when he said he didn’t like darry. This is important because it is acknowledging the fact we lie to ourselves all the time but the real question is do we believe it? Between the movie and the novel The Outsiders By S.E Hinton there is many similarities and differences and there is two recurring themes.

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

The “Outsiders” movie and novel are very different and similar. The book and the movie have some similarities. After really comparing the two there was a lot of differences.

The “outsiders” movie and novel are very fascinating. Both the movie and the novel have many differences.

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 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.
