Comparing the two mediums that made The Outsiders by their advantages and three disadvantages of both of them, to find which one is better. I think at the novel was better than the movie. Both of the mediums were good in their own ways. I like the novel more because novel the had more detail than the movie. The novel had the characters backstory with story going on with the story. The movie totally skip sodapops Girlfriend and what happen with him and her. The novel was person was first person and the movie was 3nd person. First person was better because it could actually hear the thoughts of the ponyboy. The novel actually had more dialogue than the movie. The dialogue helps the story with the detail in the novel. The Novel detail the novel
