Personally, what I…

    The Outsiders Movie And Book Comparison Essay

    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…

Whitney strongly reminds me of the pampered Claire, while Jake reminds me of the jock Andrew. Mia bears slight resemblance to the outcast Allison, and Gregor reminds me of the nerd Brian. However, the delinquent John and the famous Zoe show no relation.…
