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.

Is your America the same as my America? The book titled Our America was published by LeAlan Jones, Lloyd Newman and David Isay in 1997. There is also a movie called Our America Which was made by Ernest Dickerson in 2002. Both the book and the movie is about the same thing, it’s about how people on the west side of Chicago live. The book and the movie version of Our America have many differences such as David Isay is a very important person in the movie but he isn't in the book, Lloyd and LeAlan fusses a lot, and in the movie they talk about how they got bad publicity for being two black boys being punked by a white man but they don't even talk about that in the book.

For example, in the book, only one person drowns Pony, but in the movie, three people drowned him. This is different because in the book Pony is being drowned at the water fountain by only one person. On the other hand in the movie Pony is getting drowned by three people instead of one like it is in the story. Another comparison between the book and the movie would be when Ponyboy goes to court and doesn’t testify in the book, but in the movie he does. These are different because in the book when Pony has to go to court for the murder of Bob he doesn’t testify in the movie when he goes to court he does testify.

The Novel”The Outsiders” and the movie”The Outsiders”are different in some ways and similar in others. For example in the movie they don't include the trial scene that happened in the novel which absolutely helped create tension in the novel. Likewise the movie don't show the effects of Dally’s and Johnny's death on Ponyboy contrary to the novel which the death of both Dally and Johnny had an immense effect on Ponyboy causing his grades to drop and his once soft-spoken and naive character to harden and become tougher furthermore Randy wasn't developed that much and in the movie we didn't get to really understand that the socs and the greasers were the same. The movie was quite faithful in the book in some ways since it included most of the scenes in the novel such as the scene where Johnny kills Bob to help Ponyboy which was a driving force of the plot in both the movie and the novel and caused most of the crucial events to happen like Johnny and Dally’s death. Furthermore the movie included the church setting on fire and causing the death
