What Are The Differences Between Book And Movie

Decent Essays
In The Outsiders the movie and the book there are many differences and many similarities. 3 diffrences are Two-bit Mathews knife, chapter 12 and Greaser and Socs neighbourhoods. 3 similarities are the character's personalities, main incidents, many of the same conversations. In the book it talks about how Two-bit’s switchblade was his prize possession, but in the movie, they don’t really follow through with that. I think that if they would have pursued that trait, Two-bit book version and movie version would have almost been identical. In the book, after Johnny and Dallas die and the rumble is over, Ponyboy gets really sick and is in bed for a week, Randy comes and talks to Ponyboy and he feels really guilty and takes the blame for Bob’s

    In the Hunger Games, the most important similarities the movie shared with the book was making Peeta initiate the idea of him and Katniss being lovers. This is so significant because, without this, most of the main events in the book and movie would never have taken place.

However, the most important reason for this is because Katniss would have left Peeta to die when he needed her the most and she would not have been able to plant the small seeds of defiance against the capital. In the movie and novel, the games take a surprising turn when an announcement goes out that…
