What Is The Difference Between The Outsiders Movie And Book
On 1967, The Outsiders book was published by S.E. Hinton. Also in 1983, The Outsiders movie was directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The book is fiction; specifically young adult fiction. The book and the movie were very different from one another. The book was a lot better in giving more details and getting to know what Ponyboy is thinking. It was easier to be able to comprehend what was going on and why the characters were making those decisions. One difference from the movie and the book is that, in the book, Dally went to rob the store. He then called his friends and asked to get picked up because he had just robbed a store. They agree to pick him up at the vacant lot. Everyone arrives at Dallys location at the same time but at that moment,

    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 some movies that are adapted from the novel such as Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code, Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Lagenda Budak Setan. What are the differences between watching a movie and reading a novel? There are some contrasts between the two actions. One of the differences is by watching a movie, you just need to sit and relax. It is very easy since you only need to watch it and understands it. Furthermore, you can watch the movie while doing something else such as eating or exercising. You do not really have to focus like to imagine how the atmosphere is in the movie at that time or how a person is walking down the streets. Lastly, you can avoid disbelief since it is a multi-sensory experience. On the other hand, by reading…

    However, the book and the movie do have their similarities. In the beginning of both the movie and the book, the main characters of the movie, Ponyboy Curtis, Dallas Winston, and Johnny Cade, are revealed. Both versions of The Outsiders also show the situation that the Greasers are in. For an example, the book shows the situation that the Greasers are in when Ponyboy is jumped by the Socs while the movie also shows their situation through how they look and act when they head to the movies. Though they have their similarities, both the book and the movie have their differences. The beginning of the book shows an important scene not included in the movie where Ponyboy is jumped by the Socs. This is important because not only does it show who the Greasers are but also the Socs. In the movie, there is no introduction of the Socs as Ponyboy, Dallas, and Johnny go to the movies. As a result, the book emotionally connects to the audience more through this scene making it an important reason why the book is better than the movie. On the other hand, this is not the only reason why because the movie also loses its connection with the audience in another scene where Randy Anderson comes to Pony’s house to…

    Essay About Dally's Death

    The thing about Dally that would’ve stayed the same, is probably his personality. This is because it is so strong it is just so hard to change. He is tough, mean, risky, and overall a crazy person. These qualities you can’t change most of the time. He dedicated his whole life to trying to be the bad boy of the group, and really get out there. He succeeded doing this because many people were afraid of him, and many people generally loved him. “Dally hated to do things the legal way,” (Hinton 20). In this quote it explains how Dally played by his own rules. It shows that he won’t obey the laws…

    Francis Ford Coppola's film, The Outsiders, remains faithful to S.E. Hinton's novel, The Outsiders, because both are very similar when looking at, the dialogue, the setting, and the order of events. The dialogue and order of events in, The Outsiders, is almost completely the same between the novel and the movie because in the book Sodapop Curtis says “Soda just put his hand on my shoulder. ‘Easy, Ponyboy. They ain't gonna hurt you no more.’ ” and “You’re an okay kid ponyboy”.…

    Both "But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." and "Harry, did you put your name into the goblet of fire?" are both overused quotes that Harry Potter book fans can easily recognize. However, both of these quotes are either eliminated or butchered in the transition from the book series to the movie adaptations, like many other aspects of the book series. In the novels, the characters experience great character development, and their background stories and relationships shape the story. However, the movies eliminate these characteristics, resulting in the creation of an entire, separate entity from the book series. A multitude of characters are robbed of their dynamic selves…
