Although the movie took a shorter time to watch than reading the book did, the readers can retrieve more from a book than they can retrieve from watching a movie. Even in movies that into feeling by the book scene for scene there is still less detail in the movie than there is in the book. Ponyboy Curtis was a fourteen year old greaser who lived in a greaser neighborhood with his two brothers, Darry and Sodapop, and his greaser gang.

    First of all, one of the biggest reasons the movie is better than the book is because of the quality of the flashbacks. In the book the flashbacks were more set in the past and much longer, sometimes too drawn out and a little boring for how much background story there is for just one day dream, whereas in the movie the daydreams are a bit shorter but more set in the present and more affect by what he does in that moment with little background because of how short they are and how close to the present they may be. The daydreams are usually much more exciting in the movie as well, whereas in the book it's set back to just a boring doctor surgery, that was…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    The film and the novel were both great. The novel was better in many ways. The novel gave an immense amount of detail in the characters and the settings. The film made it simple and to the point and didn't really consider the detail that was in the novel. The film would have been better if they didn't change the most important parts of the novel.…

    One of the reasons I liked the book over the movie would be that when you read the book, its easy for you to feel how the characters felt. It's a lot more detailed in their emotions, rather than in the movie you only feel how you think they would. The book makes you almost feel like you are apart of it and that you know exactly what they're going through.…
