Dally By S. E. Hinton: Movie Analysis

The most significant change from the book to the film was that in the movie they add a visual on Dally's robbery while in the book it really doesn’t explain this or give us a good visual on what happen, and this is significant because it can explain and give us a good visual on what had happen making us understand Dallys emotion after Johnny's death and it shows why he was chased by the cops and shot down.In the book, author S.E.

He picked up a magazine and was looking at it when the Clerk coughed a fake cough saying “you have to pay for that” causing dally to snap he tore the magazine up and robbed the store. In this part of the movie dally robs the store pulling his gun out and telling the clerk to give him all of the money causing the cops to be called. The fuzz started after Dally therefore leading to the his death the visual helps us understand how he felt and how he robbed the store plus when he died he pulls out the gun causing him to get shot to death.

I don’t think that this was in the book but it helps us understand that he cared about
