If I was a character in the book Petey I would have become Petey’s friend instead of Trevor. First, I would have gotten out of school quicker because I like to get home as soon as possible and would have been there before Trevor to save Petey. Then, after I would have made friends with him quicker because I’m not scared of people that don’t look the way most people do, or can’t function normally. Lastly, I would have stayed with him longer after I saved him and then he never would have met Trevor and that would change mostly everything that happened in the end of the book.

Another difference is that in the movie Darry pushed Ponyboy where as in the book he slapped him, right before Ponyboy and Johnny ran away.

A minute contrast between the movie and the book was that in the book they explained the rules before the rumble, but in the movie they did

There is also the fact that Gatsby and Nick are not introduced the same way as they are in the book. In the book Nick is sitting at a table with Jordan and Gatsby and mentions that he hasn’t seen the host. Nick still mentions that in the book, but Gatsby mentions Nick over without Jordan in sight changing that small piece of the storyline. The other minor difference that you pick up in the movie that you do not see throughout the book is that Daisy looks like she knows Gatsby is poor when she meets him, which changes the way their relationship is perceived.
