Similarities And Differences In The Outsiders Book And Movie
The Outsiders
The outsiders was a good book and movie, although it had many similarities and differences. A difference is in the book it says that Pony-boy gets a cut on his head but in the movie he gets no injury. Johnny was the one that was getting hurt like he got hurt when he went into the burning church to save the kids and piece of the burning building dropped on his back. But pony boy never got no injury in the movie.
A similarity that happened in the book and movie would be that Johnny and Dallas both died. Johnny passed away because when he went inside of the church to save those kids, a piece of the burning building dropped on him and all that smoke that was in the building got in his lungs. And Dallas robbed a store after seeing

    The second comparable scene is when the Socs and Greasers line up to fight each other. They are smack-talking back and forth with each other. Two similarities between the book and the movie could be the sound of the greasers and socs talking back and forth, and it both showed or described how the greasers and socs were lining up. Two differences between the book and the movie could be instead of Paul swinging at Darry, some random Soc swung at Ponyboy, and the empty lot looked different than what I had imagined when the book described it.The book was more effective during this scene because It gave more detail about how the lot looked like and it described the feeling better than the movie…

    In both, The Wednesday Wars and The Outsiders the main characters Ponyboy and Holling have best friends. In the wednesday wars a show a of true friendship was when Hollings feelings were hurt by Mickey mantle Danny stood up up for him by saying “you pied ninny,”(this is a true show of friendship.

    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 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.…
