The Outsiders Book Vs Movie

717 Words3 Pages

¨Hundreds and hundreds of boys living on the wrong sides of cities.¨ I prefer the novel to the movie because the book lets you imagine what is going on. The book shows more of a deeper plot and it has more of the theme of family. The Greasers and Socs are both against each other. Ponyboy can count on his family and friends. The Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up ¨greasers¨ like Ponyboy. First of all, they portrayed the characters differently in the book and movie. One character that was portrayed differently was Johnny. In the book Johnny was always scared and shy. Johnny was affected by his parents who didn't care about him. In the movie Johnny was impacted by his parents as much as the book. Johnny wasn't really scared or shy in the movie. Johnny wasn't really scared and he was in the book. The book and movie showed the characters differently. The book showed Johnny as a small, shy, and scared boy. The book opens Johnny side more. In the movie Johnny wasn’t as scared or shy in the movie. The movie doesn’t open much on Johnny. Another character that was portrayed differently was Soda. In the book Sodapop was more affected by the fighting and he was more of a main character. …show more content…

The first piece of evidence is that they never showed Soda feeling in the middle of Darry and Ponyboy. In the movie Darry and Ponyboy didn’t fight. In the book Darry and Pony fight and Soda doesn’t like them fighting because he doesn't like to choose sides or get pulled by them so Soda runs off. Darry and Ponyboy chase after him and catch up to him. Soda then tells them his problem and he asked them to stop fighting and they agree. Another piece of evidence was that they never showed Darry and Pony getting along. In the movie Darry and Pony looked distant throughout the whole movie and they never were in a scene of getting along. In the book Darry and Ponyboy agree not to fight anymore for

People always think one is better than the other, and this is why I think the book is better than the movie. Why the book seemed it had more events, and that some of the events in the movie didn’t match the book was by in the book they started on the corner of the street but in the movie it started with Ponyboy writing the theme. The movie also described Johnny and Ponyboy different than in the book. It said

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 intensity, the actions, the personalities in the movie was much different than in the book. The book explained all of these a bit more than the movie in a better way. The one reason why character development is better in the book is probably because the actors for the Outsiders had mediocre acting skills, and the reason for that might be that the actors were all young in the career in

A wise man named Stephen King once said, “Books and movies are like apples and oranges, They both are fruit, but taste completely different.” The book and the movie look the same at first you can really see the differences.

You also see so much racism in the movie but in the book you don’t really see racism except the Linder part.
