    There were several similarities between the book and the movie. One way they were alike was Joetta thinks that the angel does not look like her because the angel is white and she is African American. Another similarity between the two was Kenny believes that if he stays behind the couch long enough, the “magic” will work to get rid of his depression. A final comparison was when they see the notebook their mom made and…

    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…

    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.…

    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 next thing I’d notice was the young man actually walked into the old man's room. In the book he just bursts into his room and does the cruel deed to the old man. In the movie they just look at each other. But in the movie as they look at each other the young man also walks closer. This was another major thing they changed.…

    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.…

    The Maltese Falcon

    Some similarities are very important to understand the story even if it’s in book or movie form. Starting with the setting or city it’s involved in. They were both set up in the city of San Francisco. If one was set up in San Francisco and one in let’s say Denver then the setting of the whole story would be off. The one in Denver would have a colder feeling and people would be wearing coats and stuff from the one in San Francisco the feeling wouldn’t be as cold. So the setting similarity is very important to the story on a high level. Also the names of all the characters are similar. This is important because if the characters were named different and someone was trying to follow along then that would confuse that person. So say if the character is named Jake in one story and Spade in another then how you would know without having to look for extra details like features of the face. Also the title is the same. I know there is a movie called Satan Meets a Lady that is a version of the Maltese Falcon. A movie watcher wouldn’t know that the book is related to the movie without putting two and two together. The movies name is very important to the person comprising and just wanted to see the movie. I love book related of movies and it’s easier to find if they had the same name. Those are only just a few similarities of the book and movie there are a lot more. So all the similarities are really important, from weather it’s to understanding the book verses the movie or vice versa.…
