The Outsiders Differences Between Book And Movie

The Outsiders

The book and the movie, The Outsiders, are both awesome. They both are very exciting and scary and crazy. It basically tell how the Soc and Greasers do not get along and it causes so much drama and tension between each other. As all this drama goes on the “gang” of greasers are always there for each other and helping each other out when they are having a rough time. There are many differences and similarities in the book, movie, and both.

The book is some what different from the movie. There are many differences between the book and the movie. Like when PonyBoy and Johnny went to the movie theater Pony wished that he was big and buff like the guy in the movie. “I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman-he looks tough and I don’t
