are Two-Bit‚ Dally‚ Ponyboy‚ and Johnny. I like these characters because I can either relate to these characters or I find these hilarious characters in this book.

The thing I hate about this is that these kids left him like it was nothing‚ they didn’t care if the injuries they gave him were going to kill Johnny if the other greasers hadn’t found him. Johnny is not only one of my favourite

The Outsider book and movie differences The Outsiders book and movie are similar to eachother. The movie basically takes everything straight from the book‚ but movie leaves out a couple scenes and many other important things. The way the characters were described and the relationships between them was off in the movie. In the book Dally and Soda were blonds‚ but in the movie all the greasers were brunettes. You don’t get to know the characters very well in the movie and the tention between

Cherry‚ however‚ suggests that individual friendships can chip away at group hatreds. Cherry gets along perfectly well with some of the greasers. She likes Ponyboy and Johnny because they treat her politely. Dally’s rude antics do not amuse her. Her disenchantment with Dally’s behavior suggests that she talks to Ponyboy and Johnny not because she is slumming and their greaser identity fascinates her‚ but rather because she likes them as individuals. For a short while at least‚ she cares more about
