Comparing The Differences Between The Outsiders, By Francis Ford Coppola

The outsiders is a book about the ongoing battle between greasers and socialites based in the year 1965. Though the book was originally published in 1967, the movie didn’t come out until 1983. Many people favor the original (most of the time the book) over the remake. (in most cases, the movie)

On April 24, 1967, S.E. Hinton published the book The Outsiders. Then sixteen years later director Francis Ford Coppola’s movie version of The Outsiders was released on March 23, 1983. The book is about a young boy named Ponyboy who lives with his two older brothers because his parents were killed in a automobile accident. Ponyboy goes through a lot of tough times because he is a part of this group known as the Greasers. The Greasers are a group that are known for being from the poor side of town and the Socs are the rich kids on the other side of town. Throughout the entire book the two groups kept fighting and then something terrible happened that changed Ponyboy’s life forever. The movie and book have many differences

The Outsiders movie & film the movie & film are opposite and are the same at time. There were some what similar but had lots of differences. The book said Darry slap him but in the movie the shoved him.

The “OUTSIDERS”, a book and movie, portrays a small gang going through hard times. The Book and Movie may have the same plot but have small yet noticeable differences. Both stories take place around Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1965. These should be compared to show why sometimes movies get things wrong and why the book tends to be better, in this case they both stick to the plot with only a few missing or added details, such as the book is slower paced but has more detail, the movie misses or adds small details, and the movie destroys your thought of what characters look like.

Also in the book they had a place called the lot and also in the movie there was the lot. Some differences are they didnt show the part where the pony boy jumped. Another is they didn't go to court. And in the movie they weren't as calm with the socs as they were in the book.

Majority of movies don’t follow along with the books as an example my class read “The Outsiders” was written by S.E. Hinton and the director for the movie was Francis Ford Coppola. “The Outsiders” was about seven friends that were greasers, three whom were siblings, a greaser is a person who has long greasy hair, live on south side of town, and they ain't rich kids, but one night something happened that changed everything . We ended up seeing the movie but some of the scenes were nothing alike the book. I mean to be totally honest there wasn’t a lot of errors just missing some important parts I wouldn’t say they added some scenes to it. Naturally they were young men acting like greasers, but they really acted really well as a family, that is what I think made the movie like a true family bond. I think how they acted like very close and like caring, it was really good because in the book and the movie they were all very close and they acted like a real family. This writing is about what the differences are in the movie from the book and what important parts I thought they missed and didn't put in the movie what kind of

The book and the movie of the Outsiders are two very different stories. The book has so much more detail then the movie. The movie is not the most detailed but it does get its point across. There are may similarities and also many differences between the two the book is by far more interesting and more detailed then the movie. I enjoyed the book a lot and the movies a lot but the movie was missing a lot.

There are many differences and similarities between the movie The Outsiders and the book. I enjoyed both the movie and the book but the movie definitely left out many key details. It was nice to see the story come to life with the actors, and how they portrayed them. The movie didn’t perfectly capture the book the way I thought it would but it still was great. I feel like if they changed a few scenes and added some the movie could be even better.

In S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, there are two rival gangs. One group, the Socials, reap the benefits of wealthy living and a good reputation. The other bunch, the Greasers, are looked down upon as bad, unruly, and unlawful. Even though the Greasers and Socials live on opposite sides of town, they have a variety of likenesses and differences.

The movie and the book have the characters going into a drive-in movie where they meet two girls named Cherry and Marcia. Dally then starts to bother them on purpose which makes them mad and goes away. He then came back with cokes for his friends and the two girls and continues to bother them then Johnny says “Leave her alone, Dally.” all this was the same in the book and the movie.

S.E Hinton’s, “The Outsiders” and Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s ,“Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” are two young adult novels with greatly different stories yet support the same ideology. Both works focus on the lives of two teenage boys, Ponyboy, of Hinton’s novel, and Aristotle, of Sáenz’s. The story of Ponyboy takes place in the year 1969, and focuses on a huge but short period of his life. It tells about his struggle as an orphan under the care of his two older brothers and deals with gang violence, socioeconomic status, and death. Whereas, the story of Aristotle takes place during the 1980’s and covers a long period of his life and involves his experiences with his relationship with his hands-on parents, his sexual orientation, and struggling with his awkward years. There are many conceptions of what is appropriate for young readers, but these two novels defend that young people should be informed. By examining “The Outsiders” and “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe”, this ideology of communicating mature topics to these readers is supported as the characters of both novels deal with the challenges of belonging, identity, and staying true to themselves, as well as reinforce the notion that adolescents can benefit from this knowledge.

The book, and the movie, “the Outsiders” is about a conflict between greasers and socs. Up until the point where Johnny kills a soc, there are mostly only small fights and arguments between the two. The story “the Outsiders” takes place in the 1960’s, when there were two main lifestyles. Greasers and Socs. Greasers are known for greasing their hair. Socs are rich kids who have good clothes, drive mustangs, and always have an argument against the greasers. The main character in S. E. Hinton’s book “the Outsiders” is Ponyboy Curtis. He has two older brothers Darry and Soda. Pony is 14 years old and his best friend, Johnny, is 16 years old. S. E. Hinton wrote “the Outsiders” when she was 17 years old. Her book was published in 1967. The

The Outsiders was about the greasers and the Socs. The Socs always jump the greasers, one day Johnny fights back, he ends up killing Bob. Johnny and Ponyboy run away to a church and hide until Dally comes and gets them. They then see the church was burning, Ponyboy and Johnny run into it to save the kids inside. Johnny and Dally get injured, Ponyboy is okay. The greasers win the rumble, the Socs will stay out of the greasers territory, Johnny passes away from his injuries, Dally robs a store, the police shoot him, and he does not survive the shots. In the end Ponyboy decides to regather his life and he starts with writing his theme for his ELA class. The book The Outsiders book, the

The Outsiders movie which was released on March 25, 1983, is a American drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola .It is a crime thriller and is adapted from a novel of the same name by S.E. Hinton .The Film was shot on location in Tulsa, Oklahoma and set in 1965 .The story of this movie revolves around the conflict between the two different social groups ,which is the rich and the poor. It is a class versus class conflict which gives rise to a physical conflict between the Greasers and the Socs .I feel there are physical fights throughout the story between the two groups due to enculturation. The native culture that is transmitted from one generation to another among the Greasers is the reason for their limitations.

The book and the film were both simular, and yet different in many ways. An example would be, in the film, Ponyboy was walking to the drive-in and meeting Cherri and Marcia. Although in the book, Ponyboy began his journey by telling the readers about his experience about being jumped by the Socs and being threatened. The director probably had some options to pick from to leave out from the movie, and the director chosed this to leave out. Leaving out the part where Ponyboy was jumped was an effective move because without the experience Ponyboy was lost and helpless because he did not know what to do when he and Johnny got cornered in the park by Bob and other Socs.
