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. The Greasers were portrayed the same in the book as they were in the movie. The plot was a little different. The book gave a little more detail
