The outsiders book and novel are both interesting and diverse. They both are some what similar in parts. They can be a lot different at some parts.

    Dally pulled Ponyboy by the shirt, and brings him to the car. Then Dally and Ponyboy drive of to the hospital to go see Johnny. A similarity between the book and movie is that I felt like Pony was going to die. I felt this way because Ponyboy was getting kicked and was all scratched up before Dally and Ponyboy went to the hospital. A difference between the book and the movie is that in the book “Dally half pulled Ponyboy down the street”, but in the movie Dally just picked up Ponyboy.…

    In both of them it seemed as if he wanted to die and he was being chased by the cops because he robbed a store. The cops shot him because he pulled a gun even if it wasn’t loaded. Some of the differences are that in the movie he got shot one at a time by the cops and he didn’t die instantly. He rolled down a hill, so unlike in the movie he wasn’t under a streetlight, said Ponyboys name and then he…

    “Books and Movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different” - Stephen King. Now I chose this quote because I will be comparing The Outsiders book to the movie, personally I think the book was better because it is the original think it was made a lot better than the movie. Although the movie did help me imagine all the characters and some of the scenes in the book a lot better. The book had a lot more details about the characters and their lives, like Sodapop and his horse, how Pony’s english teacher was the one who inspired him to write the Outsiders, and many more enticing details.…

    I want my friend to read the book, because I think it gives more detail than the movie does. The movie doesn’t show most of the important parts that the book explains. The movie skipped the part when Ponyboy got jumped by the Socs, when Johnny’s mom came and visited him in the hospital, it never told us about Mickey Mouse (Soda’s horse), and it skipped the rodeo. Some of the similarities the movie and the book share are: The greasers get treated the same way, the language is the same, Pony runs off, and Johnny and Dally die in the end. There are more similarities, but those are only a few.…
