Dally Dies: Comparing The Book And Movie

Decent Essays
One of the similarity from the book and the movie is how Johnny dies. In the book and the movie, Johnny dies after being hit by a beam, which leads to the death of Dally. I think the people who made it the same way because if Johnny doesn’t die, Dally doesn’t die.

One of the differences from the book and the movie is how Dally Dies. In the book, Dally robbed a store and was shoot and was dead before he hit the ground. In the movie, Dally was shoot, tried to get back up and was shoot again and crawled a little before dying. This differences affected the movie in a positively because when Dally was crawling for his life he was trying to say something to the guys but died before he

    A big difference is that the character John Thornton is introduced earlier in the movie than in the book.

One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…
