“The Outsiders” movie and book are amazing and interesting. After watching both, they appeared to be alike in many ways. When we finished “The Outsiders”, it was obvious that they were different. The movie and the book have similarities. Ponyboy is the narrator in the book and the movie. He is the youngest member of the Greasers. There are two gangs made up of different types of people. The Socs are the rich kids and dress in nice clothes, and the Greasers don’t have a lot of money and wear their long hair slicked back with hair oil. Even though the movie and book are similar, they are also different. One of the differences between the book and the movie is where the two gangs live. In the book the Socs are from the west side of town and
The Outsiders was a great book, and the movie was a great way to wrap everything up. There were some similarities, but a lot more differences. When I watched the movie, I could see how the characters in the movie didn't exactly match how they were portrayed in the book. My imagination was on a different track than what I saw in the movie. In my next paragraph I will explain the character differences in the book and the movie.
First, the beginnings are quite different. In the book, the story begins with Ponyboy leaving the theater, thinking to himself while walking home. He chose to walk alone, which in this story, is beyond being a bad idea! This results in Ponyboy getting jumped by the wealthier kids, known as the “Soc's”.
Whenever a great book is released, a movie is sure to follow. Some movies don’t capture the full image of the book, and the Outsiders movie, while close, is very different than the book. The book the Outsiders was released in 1967 by S.E. Hinton who was only seventeen. The book gained multiple rewards later on. The movie was made almost twenty years later in 1983. The movie shows fans a visual representation of the book, The Outsiders. The Outsiders book is different from the movie because the book shows Ponyboy’s thoughts, the movie doesn’t show much of what happens to Ponyboy after Dally’s death, and doesn’t show movie-watchers much of Johnny’s backstory.
While Ponyboy was coming home from the movies the Socs were following him but the color of the mustang the Socs were driving was red, in the book it was blue. Further on the Socs jumped Ponyboy and they tackled him to the ground and cut his neck, but really he got cut on the head. Later on, after Ponyboy and Johnny went to the drive in they met to Soc girls, Cherry and Marcia and Two-bit was there later on and asked how was the South side of town, but really he said in the book “ How do you like the west side of town” (Hinton p. . Coming home after the movie Ponyboy fell asleep in the vacant lot and came home late so Darry yelled at him and smacked him in the face but in the movie, Darry pushed him to the ground. Running away, Ponyboy and Johnny were being attacked by the Socs and one of them, Bob, was drowning Pony but he was really be drowned by five Socs instead of
Which is better: book or movie? The age-old debate. But which is better? S.E Hinton's, 'The Outsiders' book is far superior to Francis F. Coppola's motion-picture film portrayal of the book in 1983. You might remember it from the popular quote, "Stay Gold". Today it is mostly read in middle school classrooms. The Outsiders was published by S.E Hinton in 1967 when she was a teenager. The main focus throughout the story is the feud between two gangs: The Socials (Socs) and the Greasers. "We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder too". The whole book is written in Ponyboy Curtis's point of view. So, we are hearing the story through a Greaser's perspective. It is often difficult to make a connection with a character over the big screen. You miss out on scenes that did not make it into the movie, some that were are not emphasized like they should have been, and some characters were portrayed wrongly.
When you get to the beginning, middle, or end u realize they are both very different. The movie and book have a lot in common like they both have the same characters .
The characters in the book The Outsiders, are one of the most important part of the story. Each character has his own different thoughts and actions. They all stick together and have each other’s backs. Most books that kids liked to read that were fiction mostly dealt with the popular clicks and groups. But Hinton’s novels related to the outcasts of society (Harris).
The Outsiders” takes you through a journey of struggle, violence, and death. It examines the life of a recently orphaned young man born into poverty confronted with the prejudices that he could not change. He struggles with the many conflicts between the lower class and the upper class youths.
Is it better to be an individual or conform to expectations just to fit in like others? This choice is faced by Ponyboy Curtis, the narrator, throughout S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders. He belongs to the Greasers, a group of delinquent friends, who are viewed by many as poor and dangerous, while the rival Socs are viewed as rich, smart, and powerful causing the Greasers to envy them. Ponyboy learns from Randy Adderson, a Soc who is trapped by stereotype threat, that their lives are not as perfect as he expected it to be and they too face problems. In addition, Ponyboy tries to act tough and fit in with the rest of gang, but his Greaser companions, such as Two-Bit Matthews, teach him to embrace his own characteristics which sets him apart from
Francis Ford Coppola's film "The Outsiders" is a 1980's melodrama, based on teenage behavior in the 1950's. The film is about two groups of teenagers who attend the same high school and live in the same town, but lead radically different lives. One group, known as The South-Side Socials (more casually called "socs"), is the more privileged group. The second group, The Greasers, are the less privileged kids, who just so happen to live on the wrong side of town. These two groups have had rivalry against each other for many years, but on one particular night, this rivalry turns deadly as one of the greasers, Johnny, stabs and kills a soc, Bob, in defense of his friend, Pony boy Curtis. The rivalry becomes more severe on both sides after the murder; the socs' trying to avenge the death of their friend; the greasers trying to get the town to understand that the socs' are at fault also. Coppola's film is a vivid depiction of how social groups can define our behavior, and how deviance and crime are viewed in relation to our social group.
There are many similarities between the book and the movie The Outsiders. Here are a few of them. First of all, all of the main characters are the same in the beginning and change throughout the book and movie. The characters personality and mindset change throughout both. Another thing is that the Socs and the Greasers are still rivals and fight. They still have the rumble and get jumped a lot. In addition,
The most Difference about the Novel and the movie is that they live on different sides in both , In the novel they tell east and west. These sides are divided between the Socs and greasers. they both live on the separated sides, but go to school together. but They are so different.
The movie started out with them walking at the beginning, and the book did not say that they were walking. I think that the book started out differently, I also the movie missed some parts from the book. There were things that the book mentioned, but the movie didn´t show. The movie was more detailed but I'm guessing that
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything” (George Bernard Shaw.) In the novel The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, the narrator and protagonist, Ponyboy experiences much change throughout the book. Through the joy, sadness, excitement, and pain Ponyboy feels in the novel, he understands his brother, Darry, better, begins to see the rival gang, the Socs, in a new light, and becomes a person who stands up for himself and others.
