The Outsiders
The Outsiders book by S.E Hinton was eventually made into a movie. They were so much alike because they both were very good from the start. Some things that happened in the book, although they didn’t happen in the movie. You could really tell in both the book and movie the friendship and love with some people.
Some differences between the book and the movie are that Ponyboy seemed more bold, strong, and handsome. But in the movie he was like that to although, just seemed less of a Greaser because he didn’t look like a hood, didn’t have as bad clothes as I thought and he’s really smart in school. He didn’t seem to have a bad boy trait and he seemed more like a sweetheart, same as his mother. In the movie, Ponyboy said and acted the same like what was in the book. He always fought back with strong words and a courageous young man.
In the movie you could actually see what Tulsa, OK looked like because in the book you could picture a Slump, trailer, bad neighbor hood. But the house really wasn’t in as bad as shape as I thought it would be. The difference between the people was because you could see the difference on the street. Like who they were, how old, if they were a Greaser or a Soc. Although some people didn’t really show who they were. But in the book, you can see it, but not like picture it as well. It the movie makes it bolder because you see, hear, and almost feel what’s going on. You can actually see the people doing these things, on the other hand, in the book you can read it, but not feel it. You can also see their surroundings. What’s behind the scenes. Where they’re at, and wherever they’re at, you can tell which side of town. Both the book and the movie had great descriptions on what their side was like, Socs had it all, and Greasers had nothing. Like maybe the Greasers had old cars and the Socs had brand new cars.
“Things are rough all over” and “Stay Gold” are the same because these themes are life changing and heart-felt. In the movie, when they

    Usually when talking about a movie or a book, it hard to discuss the similarities and the differences. Because sometimes a movie can be more influencing than a book and vice versa. When I first started reading the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, I was confused at first but then as I kept reading, I realized how things can go a certain way and how one person can make a change in the whole world without even meaning to. Personally, what I…

    Another difference that I noticed is concerning Curley's wife. In the book there is a scene where Lennie, Candy and Crooks are gathered in Crooks' room. After a while, Curley's wife emerges and the atmosphere becomes unpleasant. Crooks finds the courage to stand up against her, and when he does, she verbally breaks him down. In the movie this scene never takes place, and by eliminating this incident Curley's wife's destructive nature stays unrevealed.…

    'Grease' and 'The Outsiders' are very similar in numerous ways: Both movies involve gangs, the struggle to fit in and peer-group pressure. Alcohol also plays a major part in both movies. In 'Grease' for example, the T-Birds spike the punch at the school dance. In 'The Outsiders', most of the Socs have a drinking problem and we see them drunk throughout a lot of the movie. Even though these films have…

    ‘The Outsiders’ written by S.E Hinton demonstrates that violence can cause much change to a person on the inside as well as outside. This book became an immediate success when it was written during the 1960’s and was based around the reputation and the stereotypes of that current decade. If you were a kid growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma you either belonged to one of two groups, a “Soc” or a “Greaser”. In this book, there are many differences between the two groups, which tends to cause much violence. S.E Hinton has much authority to write about this violence because she has seen it happen firsthand. In The Outsiders violence occurs at its very best. It affects people in different ways, changes people – physically and emotionally but also causes very positive outcomes which turns into a lifelong lesson for both the Socs and the Greasers.…

    Background does not matter when you are a hero. In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, the author argues that heroism defines a person by their actions not by their background, history, or looks. The events at the church, the incidents that happened before the church and the aftermath all show the changes that happened over time that would eventually negate Ponyboy’s history and background and regard him as a hero. There are different points of heroism in the story and different forms of heroism in the story but for now we are going to look at the most important three, Cherry acting as a spy, Ponyboy rescuing the kids and what he was defined by before he was a hero.…

    "The book that helps you the most is the one that makes you think the most, and expands your knowledge of life and human nature." I am in total agreement with this statement. I believe that that the best books are the ones that expand your mind and teach you about the facts of life. The quote portrays that books are only significant if they have made you think. The book I read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton supports this statement in many aspects. The book depicts a society where two dominant, opposing gangs prevail in a town that just isn't big enough for the both of them. The main character, Ponyboy, his brothers, and friends are part of a gang known as the "greasers", due to their poor appearance and their greasy hair. The antagonist gang is known as the "socs", a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up greasers like Ponyboy.…

    In "The Giver", a few similarities I saw were the characters, the setting, and the plot. Additional similarities that stuck out were when Jonas ran away with Gabe, when Jonas transferred memories to Gabe, Jonas seeing beyond, and when Jonas's father killed one of the twins. A few differences I saw between the book and the movie were the ages of Jonas, Fiona, Lily, And Asher in the book Jonas, Fiona, and Asher are 12 but in the movie they are 18, in the book Lily is 8 but in the movie she is 9. Another difference I saw between the book and the movie was with the Chief Elder in the book, you don't really hear much from the Chief Elder but the when you watch the movie 30 or 40% of the time you get recognition of the Chief…

    Conflict arises between two incomparable social groups, resulting in tragic deaths. In the novel The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, two separate gangs, the Socs and Greasers, are at constant contention. The Outsiders takes place in Oklahoma, the 1960’s. Hinton uses the character, Ponyboy Curtis to explain why it doesn’t matter what social position you are in. The message she is trying to get across to the readers is you are your own person, and you don’t have to be classified as anyone else but yourself. Throughout the novel Ponyboy becomes more sophisticated, by learning to reaffirm his own values and sense of self. He progressively matures through the course of the novel in many different ways by experiencing things he would have never imagined going through.…

    After reading and watching the movie it gave me an idea about what's different and the how similar they are and they are 95% different. In the book it goes in more detail at the ending and in the movie it leaves of a cliff hanger. In the book, charlie was given twenty dollars for working hard and everyone at his job wanted him to leave because he was too smart. In the movie his “friends” made a vote for him to leave to get him fired because they were challenged. The movie did go in more detail how his “friends” are more evil in the book. Ms. kinnin and Charlie got in a relationship and almost got married, charlie took drugs, and he road a motorcycle. The biggest difference was that charlie didn’t buried Algerian and Algerian was putted in his…
