What Are The Differences Between Book And Movie
There is quite a few differences between the book and movie The Outsiders. The book is written by S.E. Hinton. We have been reading the outsiders and we were wondering which was better the movie or the book. The book and movie are both easy to relate to because Ponyboy is our age and most of the characters are young. I think the three characters are Sodapop,Ponyboy,and Two bit. In the book I pictured them as these tough looking kids but when I saw the movie they actually don’t look as tough as I imagined. I figured that Ponyboy and Johnny were like these kids who had deep voices and scary looking but they’re no they look like any other kid. In the book it made everything not so dramatic but in the movie it was and that helped me figure …show more content…
The church was in flames and Dally told them to stay in the car but Ponyboy and Johnny both got out because they thought it was their faults.They got all the children out of the church and Dally pulled Ponyboy out of the window and leaped in and grabbed Johnny but everyone was severely hurt. The movie or book didn’t show what happened when Ponyboy got knocked out and then when the ambulance showed up to the scene. The church was probably one of the most important places of the book. After the church incident everyone one was in the hospital but Ponyboy and Dally weren’t hurt badly but Johnny was still unconscious. This part had a few differences like in the book it said his mom showed up to visit him but in the movie I never saw his mom visit him. And in the book it said that Johnny was laying flat on his stomach but in the movie he was propped up on his back. Throughout the book there were a lot of different symbols. I think the one that stood out the most to me was how they all ate chocolate cake. tHis stood out to me because there parents never let them eat it but dally let them. I think the symbol was described the best in the book and not the movie. The movie talked nothing about it and the book described it really well and that’s why I chose this

Ponyboy Curtis a 14 year old teenager, is in a gang called The Greasers. A bunch of juvenile delinquents, who live on the east side of town. The Greasers have a rival called The Socs.

    S.E. Hinton was only 15 years old when she wrote this extremely detailed book. I liked her book a lot because of how much detail she put into it. I didn’t like the movie a lot because I was kind of expecting it to be a lot like the book but was disappointed when it left out many different parts of the book. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the book was more effective in telling the story.…

    There are many differences between the movie and the book. First the positive points: This film attaches faces to Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, since no description of their faces is given in the book. Also, the film has some genuinely hilarious moments, particularly the scene where Scout is dressed as a ham and walking through the forest. Another good point is that the acting was superb and a treat to watch. Gregory Peck, who played Atticus, was captivating. The film is cast very well. The novel does not give physical descriptions of Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, but the film characters were believable. The actors look like what we would expect them to look like.…

    However, The Outsiders movie was very interesting, the novel portrayed the story line better in my opinion. For one the novel is more detailed such as when Johnny got jumped by Bob and three of his Soc friends, but the movie does not. Also, the novel describes in chapter 4 page 53 that there is a swimming pool at the park but they movie shows nothing about there being a pool there. In addition, the novel also states when Dallas Winston takes Ponyboy and Johnny to Dairy Queen they sit in the Restaurant, but in the movie, they do not. Lastly, those are the few reasons why the novel is better than the movie.…

    The Outsiders is both a great book and a great movie. Although they are both very great, they are not completely the same, or completely different. A book that turns into a movie usually has way more information because the person writing the book isn’t just going to make it a movie line for line. The movie “The Outsiders” doesn’t work like that though. The book and the movie are about as close to line for line as you can possibly get. They have to add some scenes in movie to explain the thinking of the characters, but they also have to subtract scenes from the book to shorten the movie. The book, The Outsiders, and the movie, “The Outsiders,” are alike in many ways.…
