The Outsiders Movie Vs Book Essay
The Outsiders
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 book and the movie both ended with the sentence, “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I only had two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home(Hinton 180).” It’s a very dramatic way to end a book or movie, but it was a great way to end. The movie and the book were both great
