The Outsiders Movie And Book Comparison Essay

501 Words | 3 Pages

My final is about the difference between the book and the movie “The Outsiders.” This next paragraph is about the description difference between the book and movie. Then the paragraph after that will be about the description of the background or cars that the characters drive or live in. I think that the move and the book where basted of the same story but I think that when the directors made the movie with some different cars or house that can change the movie or they put different things in it so that the movie will look better. Altogether the movie and the book were pretty good and had good meaning to it about want to think of life and it’s alright to not be tough and hard.

These differences may confuse people that have read the book before they have watched the movie. For example, the Greasers and Socs live in the North and South sides, instead of the West and East sides. In the book, the intro started with Ponyboy going out of the movie theater, but in the movie, we know in the very beginning that Ponyboy is writing a composition. In the scene where Ponyboy sleeps in the lot, instead of dreaming about the country and how life would be if his parents were still alive like in the book, the movie shows how his parents died: in a car and train accident (which in the book Ponyboy says is a car-to-car accident). As you can see, the movie for some reason tweaks some aspects of the book and these changes may confuse some

Another difference would be the way the short stories were ordered. In the book, the stories were told in no perceptible order, making it hard to remember who is whose daughter/mother etc. The movie begins with a party which all the characters attend, and the stories are disclosed as the character is thinking about it. The mother and daughter’s stories are staged after one another. The movie allows for a more natural way of telling the story, and makes it easier to remember the characters and associate mothers with daughters.
