Books: a group of blank white pages where authors record memories, reveal what they imagined, and take us along on a ride through their minds. These past few weeks, I had been reading two popular novels that did in fact take me on that journey: The Outsiders written by S.E. Hinton, and Miracle’s Boys by Jacqueline Woodson. In no uncertain terms, I did notice that these two books could be compared to one another.

However, the difference in the characters was the most influential part that changed throughout the film.
The plot of both stories is quite similar. They are both about hunting larger prey to

The settings in both stories are so much alike. "If he does, and if we ran - they'll just come after us.

He also explains how these games have deeper meanings, bringing out the evil tendency, stored away in mankind, in the boys.
