Compare And Contrast The Outsiders
The book The Outsiders written by S.E Hinton is very different from the movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola. First of all the scenes differed by quite a lot. Not only that the characters weren’t introduced exactly the same. Many relationships weren’t told identical from one another. Although they were very different each did portray the plot of the story.
In the novel each character is described in great detail. They have their own introductions to show their importance. In the movie the characters were barely told about, but much of which was having to figure out their names and backstory by the dialogue. For Example: In the novel Ponyboy was described as having light-brown almost-red long hair and greenish-gray eyes, likes books and watching

    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.…

    The outsiders movie and novel have many differences and similarities. I have only written about two of each but it is always fun to go back and look for more There is a hug variation between the two, the tiny details were precisely the same. The Outsiders is about a group of kids that are all different some are greasers, which have the leather jackets and the slicked back hair, and there are the Socs, they are the rich kids of town and are more dressed up then the greasers are. One way that the book is different from the movie is that the movie didn't say anything about Sodapop, the main character's older brother, wanting to get married to a girl when she is out of school and in the book there is a few pages about how much Soda loves…

    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.…

    The quote in question is “All good is destined to be defeated.” The quote means, for every good guy, there is a bad guy. For every hero, there is a villain. Everyone who has ever tried to do something good has been destined to be stopped. The quote not only speaks for literature, but for everything. If you look from now, all the way back to ancient times, you will see examples of this in many works of literature. The book The Outsiders is a good representation of the quote.…

    In conclusion, the outsiders is different because of acting skills, and mostly time. The book might take a reader about two, maybe three days to read depending on skill level. Obviously, the book can’t take two or three days long. The differences are mostly ok because the movie was still a lot like the book despite characteristic looks, and settings. Other than these few things, the Outsiders will always be a great original by S.E.…

    Although there is reasons to read “The Outsiders” some may still argue not to read it at our age and level. Stephen May, a reviewer, argued that there was too much violence and gang related topics. But if you look out your window today or simply walk down the street you see violence and graffiti on bridges and walls. A student at Lone Star Elementary in California wrote that she didn’t like being exposed to all the references to alcohol, drugs and sex. But eventually you are going to be exposed to those things if students have already not, it’s a part of growing up.…

    Gun Safety Essay

    Despite the high numbers of accidental deaths and injury, safety training for gun owners is never sufficient for everyone. In 2015, over 265 children shot either their friends or themselves while playing with loaded rifles (Lidgett par. 4). An investigation conducted by the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, over 1.7 million American youths live in residents where they have access to loaded weapons (Lidgett par. 5). With high levels of such risk and the numerous laws on gun control, what more could be done. The Penal Code section 26840 mandates all gun owners to have the Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC), and California gun owners are obligated to renew gun license every five years along with a safety class. Instead, compulsory gun safety courses biennially with the renewal of gun license will help to reduce the number of accidents. Firstly, this method will ensure the safe handling of a gun. In addition, the armed forces utilize this method and proved success in low numbers of accidents. Last of all, the time frame of five years to re-new gun license and a safety course is too long.…
