    The similarities from the book to the movie hardly changed at all, it was so hard to come across something in the movie that was not done in the book.

    Jimmy Corrigan Analysis

    • 1338 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Both pages in the double-spread from Chris Ware’s Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth are dreams and share surreal themes. Visually they are completely different, however, thematically they can be seen to link due to sharing ideas of anxiety and abandonment. The double-spread chosen is the end of the dream where Superman drops Jimmy’s house and the beginning of the dream about the small horse he is forced to shoot. The first page is framed differently than any other page since the panels…

    Why Are Greasers So Bad

    • 621 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Are the Greasers Not so Bad Afterall? Are the Greasers all not so bad afterall? Is Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade and Dalles Winston actually good people. I think they're all good people for many good reasons and they have saved people's lives too. They also never leave anybody in their gang behind and always have eachothers backs. They even come running if they hear you yell help and will lend you anything if you really need it. My definition of a hero is somebody that is loyal to their people…

    Fire N Gold Analysis

    • 648 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Fire N Gold: Fire N Gold is a song by Bea Miller, released in 2014. Titled Fire N Gold, it is about finding a spark and a purpose, or as the artist says: "It's reminding all the people who are really down in the dumps and who feel like they're alienated and like no one understands them and they’re really alone that they do have a purpose in life and that they are here for a reason." The song has many similarities and references that relate to the book, and I will try to describe them. The song…

    The movie is very different from the book because sometimes in the book they include more details than in the movie. In the movies they spend a lot of time filming everything and sometimes one scene takes all day to film. In the book is something similar but not too much because in the book they take time to write everything and then to convert it into a book but what do you think. Something that they have in common is that they are written by the same author and it take place in the same year,…

    5) Before Johnny died he told Ponyboy to “stay gold”. This was inspired by the Robert Frost poem, “nothing gold can stay”. The main idea of the poem is that life happens in short-lived moments. Good things don’t stay long enough. Johnny is reminding Pony to cherish every moment because he knows that pony has his whole life in front of him, and shouldn’t take it for granite. I think the characteristics that Ponyboy has definitely refer to this. First of all, he is not only the youngest Curtis…
