...The Outsiders Book/Movie Comparison S. E. Hinton's story "The Outsiders" is a story the examines two different social groups in high school back in the 1960's. The book was such a big hit around the world that Francis Ford Coppola decided to make a movie out of it. When making the movie Francis didn’t want to leave out the little details that made the movie unique. There are many similarities and many differences between the book and the movie. My goal is to examine those similarities and differences and to look at the meaning behind the small details in the book and in the movie. One of the first similarities between the book and the movie was the 1960's setting. The book and movie both use old cars and the way the characters dress to express the story's 1960 setting. In both the book and movie the Socs drive new Mustangs and Corvairs, but the greasers drive old fixed up cars. "The Outsiders" book and movie both have a blue Mustang that is driven by the Socs. The Mustang represents fear and danger in the Greasers eyes, because whenever they see the Mustang coming they know something bad is about to go down. for his little brother, and that he wants Ponyboy to succeed in life. Another relationship represented in the book and the movie is between Johnny and Dally....

...In the book The Outsiders and the movie have a lot of differences and similarities, one similarity is how Charry and Pony talk about his brothers. These two are very similar but have differences between them that make one just as good as the other one without a doubt in my mind. The book and movie The Outsiders have many similarities one is how no matter what they go to Dally for help to get them out of trouble after stabbing Bob. Another similarities is how when they are in the church instead of only buying food and food only they by a copy of Gone With The Wind and had to eat baloney sandwiches only.

Both the movie and the book have the part where Pony starts get to know Charry on the way home, right after that Bob, Randy and other socs get out of the car to confront the grocers and get their girls back. One of my favorites is how the three brothers meat in the hallway of the hospital and are reunited with each other. The last one that I have is how Pony and Randy talk...

"The Outsider" is one of my favorite movie come books, but it was really surprising after reading and watching the book and the movie are pretty different mainly in the rumble, the reuniting and argument\soda running away scene.

...Around 1981, Francis Ford Coppola received a letter from a librarian at Lone Star middle school. The text stated, “ We are all so impressed with the book, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, that a petition has been circulated asking that it be made into a movie. We have chosen you to send it to. In hopes that you might also see the possibilities of a movie, we have enclosed a copy of the book.” The written document was signed by 110 little signatures who were eager for Coppola to make a film. Since he couldn’t resist it, he decided to make one. Two years later, on March 25 The Outsiders was released. As any film director should, he tried to keep the movie close to the original novel by S.E Hinton. However, movies and books are two different ways...

...The Outsiders was a book written by 16-year-old S.E. Hinton in 1967. It is a book about two rival gangs, the Greasers and Socs, and how each gang member helps each other in order to defeat the rival gang. Inspired from the book, there was a movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola in 1983. While watching the movie, I have noticed a copious amount of similarities and differences between the book and the movie. I noticed a lot of similarities between the book and the movie. For example, the storyline, plot, setting, and conflict were all the same. The book and the movie started with Ponyboy getting jumped and ended with Ponyboy solving all of his problems and coming back to the beginning. The setting of both the book and the movie took place in Oklahoma. In both the book and the movie, the events happened for the same reason such as the rumble, or Ponyboy and Johnny running away and getting jumped at the fountain....

...The ¨Outsiders¨ movie and novel are hilarious and depressing. Beyond watching both were different. Even though watching them both they had some different qualities. The movie and novel share identical features. For example, both attributed the equivalent hangout places. Cherry,Sandy,Bob and Marcia. Bob was drowning Ponyboy so Johnny stabbed him. Accordingly, Bob died. Despite the fact that the share a spectacular distribute of semblances the movie and novel have very few polarities. There are a lot of differences between the book and movie.

...Would you rather want something set and not able to change, or have it your way all the way through? This question is what I am talking about today. The topic I am talking about is the comparison between The Outsiders movie, and The Outsiders book. One reason the experience is always different is because of the person who is interpreting its interpretation or the maker’s interpretation. Many people believe that people can learn multiple ways, for example, there are auditory, visual, and verbal learning. The many ways to learn have one thing in common, a person’s imagination. The format in which you experience the book may be different from the others but great for your type of thinking. The medium, however, can change the way you see the...

...The Outsiders is a novel written by S.E Hinton about a group of boys who class themselves as a gang based in the 1960’s. The book is about Ponyboy Curtis and his gang the “Greasers” and their constant battles with their rival the “Socs”. Their battles and fights are all fun and games until someone gets hurt…. Badly. Even though it was self defence the boys’ world would never be the same. To me the novel and the movie were fairly similar but in other ways remarkably different. First of all it seemed like they were trying to follow the guidelines of the book too well in some parts but not enough in others. For example they missed the first three chapters of the book and the last three chapters at the end. Rather important things too like...

...Sixteen years after a sixteen-year-old wrote this book, Francis Ford Coppola turned this novel into a movie. The book is a coming-of-age novel, but the movie focuses on the characters' loss of innocence. The movie follows the story line very closely. The reader is only told that this story takes place in the southwest, but the movie places it in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the year 1966. It also changes the conflict from the East Side versus the West side to the northside versus the southside. This minor directional change was probably made due to the relative time proximity to the musical West Side Story, which won the best picture Academy Award in l961. However, as with all movies, character insight that is critical to understanding the story is lost when the format goes from the written word to the screen. Ponyboy is telling us the story, the same as in the book, but the 91-minute film only glosses over many character relationships. <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/CNSite/;navArea=CLIFFSNOTES2_LITERATURE;type=Lit_Note;kword=SE_Hinton;kword=The_Outsiders;contentItemId=139;tile=3;sz=300x250;ord=123456789?" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/CNSite/;navArea=CLIFFSNOTES2_LITERATURE;type=Lit_Note;kword=SE_Hinton;kword=The_Outsiders;contentItemId=139;tile=3;sz=300x250;ord=123456789?" width="300" height="250" border="0" alt="" /></a> With the exception of Ponyboy, the viewer misses out on knowing most of the novel's characters.

Along with Johnny, Pony never wanted to hurt people and when given a broken bottle by Two-bit pony said he couldn't use it when asked by Cherry. Pg 40 Although, Johnny had many things that are the same but, there are some scenes where he doesn't act the same.

...comparing and stating differences in the book. We read the book The Outsiders. S.E Hinton was the author. I liked the book very much and we eventually watched the movie. As I was reading the book I did not picture the movie the way it was. I am comparing the movie and book and also making some differences. Some of the main characters in the book are Dally, Ponyboy, Johnny, Two-Bit, Darry, and there is other characters that aren't as important. The narrator in the book is pointing at Ponyboy's point of view. To start off, the characters are very different in the book then they are in the movie. Sodapop was in the book more than he was in the movie. There was blonde kids, (Soda and Dally) in the book but there wasn’t in the movie. Sandy wasn’t even mentioned or in the movie and she took a big part in the book. In the book's point of view the narrator is Ponyboy, and in the movie there isn’t really a narrator it is in every one perspective. In the book two-bit was 6 foot tall...
