Fortunately, Rumble Fish’s movie did not undergo drastic changes. The film adaptation of Rumble Fish does a satisfactory job of retelling S.E. Hinton’s work or literature and even adds on to it. This is evident through the changes made and creative liberties taken, the portrayal of the characters, and the

than the book's portrayal and that's only one reason. Another reason why the movie is better than the book is that it was near the end of the movie when the Socs and Greasers had their final rumble. The movie version of the final rumble was way more entertaining compared to the book version of the final rumble.

West Side Story Essay In the book/play West Side Story, there are two gangs. The Jets and The Sharks. They didn’t like each other because they were fighting over land. I think that the two gangs could've gotten along better. My reasons I think that is that they could have just split the land in half. Also, The Sharks could’ve just gone and found a new, better piece of land or the two gangs could’ve had a competition to see who gets the land. My first mentioned point is that The Jets and
Examination of a Stunt Scene in West Side Story For the scene I chose to examine, I chose to do the rumble from the musical West Side Story.

Riff decides that
events are resolving the main conflict, all through the story, Ponyboy and Johnny are on a journey because of the murder of Bob. Since Pony is not guilty, these events are being resolved. The conflict is also being sorted out when the greasers win the rumble, meaning the socs will now leave the greasers alone. Moving forward, Ponyboy and the greasers will not have to worry about getting jumped by socs. The whole central conflict of The Outsiders is between the Eastside greasers and the Westside socs
So I’d fight if I thought it’d do any good. I think I’m going to leave town” (117). Randy keeps on explaining his opinion about the rumble tonight, and fighting overall, to Ponyboy.

From this, he decides that he is going to
gangs provoke each other. A fight breaks out between them, but it's broken up by the arrival of two cops. After the police has got rid of the Puerto Ricans, Riff, the leader of the Jets, informs his gang that he will challenge Bernardo to a decisive rumble that night at a dance. The Jets are convinced of their invincibility, they sing the Jet song. Riff tries to talk his friend Tony into being his lieutenant for the challenge.
