Comparing and Contrasting The Book and Movie The Outsiders By:Anna Millette P.5 The movie and the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton both share many similarities making both an enjoyable experience. Firstly, the book and the movie both had the rumble happen for the same reason. The rumble happened because they wanted to settle a dispute going on between the Greasers and Socs, and they needed a way to determine a “winner” of the gangs.The rumble was the answer for the winner,to settle unfinished business and to claim territory for the Greasers. Also, both in the book and movie start the rumble off with Darry and his old football teammate fighting, his old friend became a new enemy. Lastly,both included Johnny and Dallys death. These two events
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.

In my next paragraph I will explain the character differences in the book and the movie.
Book or movie? This seems to be a pretty common debate, especially seeing there are so many differences between the two. Ranging from the beginning of the story to the visual aspects of the characters as compared to their descriptions, the differences are quite apparent. The book “The Outsiders” is a wonderful story, and has been read year after year by the youths in schools. But, how does it really compare to its later made movie version?
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.
Your home life, your friends, and other people you know are different and similar than your classmates home life, friends, and other people they know.

Another thing in common with the books is that in a fight between the gangs, someone is killed. In West Side Story, during the rumble, Bernardo kills Riff. Tony takes his revenge by killing Bernardo. He does this because Riff was like a brother to Tony. Similarly, in The Outsiders, Bob was drowning Ponyboy. To protect his friend from harm, Johnny kills Bob with his switchblade. Because of the situation the boys had put themselves into, they needed to protect themselves, and this was the only way they thought might work.

There are many similarities throughout the book and the movie. While reading the book and observing the movie, The Outsiders in the beginning they both started with the same line “ When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the moviehouse, I only had two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.”(Hinton p.1) When Ponyboy and Johnny first met Cherry at the movies, the Socs found out that she was hanging out with the Greasers they were going to fight and Cherry told them that she didn’t like fights against anyone. After, killing the Soc, Bob and running away to the
The Outsiders and The Wednesday Wars deal with misunderstandings among young people in the 1960’s and show how people can form friendships despite their differences. The Outsiders by S.E.

The book “the Outsiders” (S.E. Hinton) is based on the story of two gangs the Greasers and the Socs. These two groups of individuals have conflicts. the Greasers are the East side working class people. The Socs are the West side rich kids. they drive around in a blue mustang, they “jump” the greasers and injure them purely because they are lesser than the Socs. The Greasers are a interesting bunch of individuals. the story is based from their perspective. They aren’t rich but they get by, they steal they fight they smoke but they aren’t bad guys.
Can some people so different be so a like? Can some people so alike be so different? Dally and Johnny are those two who are so different, but yet they are similar. In the book S.E. Hinton writes The Outsiders, Johnny Cade and Dally Winston come from two completely different backgrounds, and have completely different scruples. Yet, at the same time they are alike. Dally and Johnny’s parents both repudiate them, making Johnny and Dally mentally tough, and the boys do not value their lives. At the same time though they are different, Dally is stronger than Johnny. Though, Johnny has a soft heart and Dally would not even pay any attention if someone is dying right next to him.
This shows that Greasers get beat up by the Socs, & the Socs drive into the Greaser’s territory to jump them. Johnny gets scared, & after this he never walks alone again. According to pg. 92 of The Outsiders, “I leaped out of the window and heard timber crashing and the flames roaring right behind me. I staggered, almost falling, coughing and sobbing for breath. Then I heard Johnny scream…” This is when Johnny & Ponyboy are trying to save the kids.This shows the violence that Johnny was exposed to. He was exposed to the violence at the church because of the violence he was exposed to when Ponyboy and him got jumped. In total, the Greasers were exposed to a lot of violence in the story.The second reason why the Greasers struggle more than the Socs is because they have to make many sacrifices. Quote from the book to back up your perspective. In the book, Darry had to work to help pay the bills of the house, & to keep Ponyboy in school. He was way overworked, and he didn’t have any freedom to go anywhere because of his
