S.E Hinton wrote the outsiders when she was in high school and did not plan to publish the story. Since then it has been made into a book and a movie. I think the book was bad because it did not give the effects that the movie did.I liked the movie because it had more of the story put into it detail wise.While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the movie was more effective in telling the story. To begin the first comparable scene is when the socs arrived in there cars…

Heroes or villains Many readers of the book the outsiders think that the greasers are villains or heroes. In the book the outsiders by S.E. Hinton the greasers (People that have greased back hair and don’t usually have a lot of money but very smart) are in a war with the Socs (The rich kids that drive mustangs and don’t have strict parents) then ponyboy and johnny go running from the fuzz.One or more greasers can call themselves heroes because they stick up for others they are heroic and they…

The Outsiders As a class we had read the book, “The Outsiders.” Overall, I contemplate the book was superior and it was very fascinating. The book was set in Oklahoma and that’s where we live, so that was awesome. Also, I liked most of the characters in the book and some of it was relatable. It also kept me hooked while reading and there were many events that occurred. The characters I liked the best were Ponyboy, Johnny, Sodapop, and Darry. I liked them because I felt they were all…

“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…

Straight Facts Show: It’s the Greasers. “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.”-Sherlock Holmes Who can you trust the Greasers or the Socials? In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton the main character Ponyboy (Pony) and his Greaser group encounter many dilemmas throughout the text.

The message that S.E. Hinton was trying to tell readers through the book The Outsiders is that one should not judge a book by its cover. An example of this would be how Ponyboy thought that all Socs are bad because they were Socs. But once Ponyboy got to know Cherry and Randy, he realized that they weren’t the violent, snobbish, rich kids that many people he thought that they were. Ponyboy didn’t get to know those two until later on in the book so throughout the book, he had a distorted vision…

In the novel The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, the two characters who seem to have nothing in common with each other, are more alike than you may think. But along with some similarities, a few differences come to mind. Differences such as how Johnny sees the good in the world while Dally can’t, and how Johnny is a law abiding person and Dally isn’t. Some things they have in common are that both Johnny and Dally put little value on their lives and they both have abusive and negligent parents. The…

There are many examples throughout the novel that prove how Johnny plays the role as the “sidekick” to the other Greasers throughout the story,…

The Godfather is an incredible movie classic that I feel glamorizes the organized crime persona. Wealth, power, and strong family ties are portrayed throughout the film to enhance the prestigious and intense lifestyle. #1 The Godfather film initiates that the Corleone family has power and authority, and commands respect in the very first scene. The head of the family is called the Godfather. He is conducting covert business in his mansion on his daughter’s wedding day. During the…
